I. Sin refused. “Then Daniel... .said
.. .Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give
thy rewards to another” (v. 17). In his
person Daniel was fair, well-favored; the
admiration of Ashpenaz, Melzar and
Arioch, the object of their tender re
gard. In his demeanor courteous, digni
fied, deferential, reverent and respectful,
in liis character abstemious, serious, de
vout, courageous, unblemished in pri
vate life, incorruptible in public office;
a pattern of faith, prayer, wisdom, holi
ness and righteousness; * ’ * - -

king’s realm.
II. Severe a __ ____ __ _
bled thine heart, though thou knewest
all this” (v. 22). Daniel had the cour
age to tell the king the truth. Preacher
and prophet should “reprove, rebuke, ex
hort with all long-suffering” (2 Titus,
4, 2). Some years ago a prominent
London brewer, who, strange to say,
was a well-known philanthropist, wrote
to Prof. W. G. Blackie for a subscrip
tion for the Reformatory Union. The
good man replied with some pointed
questions and added, “I humbly believe
that your gin palaces are tumbling in
to the gutter more human creatures
than all the reformers of the kingdom
are picking out.” The beer brewer re
turned a touching letter begging the
professor to pray for him.
III. Sentence revealed. “Mene: God
hath numbered thy kingdom and finish
ed it” (v. 26). The sinrul man shatl not
live out half his days (Psa. 55, 23), for
sin finished bringeth forth death (James
1: 15), and at death the sinner’s days
are numbered * and finished. Tekel:
“Thou art weighed in the balance, and
art found wanting” (v. 27). Belshazzar
was weighed. By his conscience—“his
thoughts troubled him” (v. 6); by the
example and punishment of his father,
which should have been a warning to
him (vs. 19-21); by the prophet, who
dared to reprove the frightened mon-
arch. (vs. 22,-23); by God, in the hand
writing on the wall which pronounced
his doom (vs. 25-28). He was weigh
ed and found wanting. “Thou.... hast
not humbled thine heart .... but hast
lifted up thyself against the Lord of
heaven.” (vs. 22, 23). Pride, lifting up
self above God, is the opposite of hu
mility.
IV. Sovereign reward. “They clothed
Daniel with purple and made a proclama
tion concerning him” (v. 29, R. V.) Jesus
said, ‘If any man serve me, him will
my Father honor,” (John xii. 26).
Joseph served God by blameless living,
and God made him the second ruler in
the kingdom and the preserver of his
race; type of him who should die to
save the world. Abraham served God by
offering Isaac, and God made his off
spring as the start of the skv and the
sands of the sea. Moses served God by
refusing worldly honor, and God made
him the great emancipator, leader, law
giver and historian and one of the com-
figuration. David served God in fighting
Goliath, and became forever the king of
The disciples served Christ in a life of
self-sacrifice, and shall sit on twelve
thrones ruling the twelve tribes of Is- I
rael. If we serve him he honors us by
clothing us with the garments of salva
tion (Isa. Ixi. 10).
V. Swift retribution." “That night was
Belshazzar............slain” (v. 30). That
night of his feasting, drunkenness and
profanity. While a desecrated vessel ;
was still in his hand, and the praise of
the false gods still on his lips, retribu- ‘
tion came. Sentence against an evil j
work is not always speedily executed, ;
for God is long-suffering; but frequently !
sin has been instantly punished, as in !
the case of Lot’s wife (Gen. xix. 26),!
Gehazi II. Kings v. 27), Ananias and’
,Sapphira (Acts v. 5-10), and Herod (Acts '
xii. 23). The warning is, “Take heed of •
yourselves, lest at any time your hearts i
be overcharged with surfeiting and
drunkenness.............and so that day i
come upon you unawares.” (Luke xxi. I
34). “For the day of the Lord so cometh ■
as a thief in the night. When they are
Saying Peace and safety, then sudden
destruction cometh upon them .........and
they shall in no wise escape” (I. Thess.
V. 2, 3). Abbie C. Morrow.
Daniel and Belshazzar— Dan. 5:17-30.
Commentary.—I. The handwriting on
the wall. Eelshazzar, only sixteen or
seventeen years old, was the ruling king ,
in the city of Babylon. Secure within'
his defences he felt confident of safety, •
and therefore engaged in revelry at a
feast which he made to a thousand of
his lords. In his drunken folly and wickedness he called for the golderf
and silver vessels which had been taken
from the temple at Jerusalem, that he
might drink from them as’ a token
that his gods had given victory over
the God of the Jews. During his pro
fane revelry a hand appeared and wrote
upon the wall. This filled the king with
fears, and he declared that the wise man
Who should interpret the meaning,
should be clothed with scarlet and have
a chain of gold, and be third ruler in
the kingdom. When all had failed, the
queen, mother of Belshazzar, came in
and persuaded her son to send for Dan
iel, to whom, when he came, the king re
peated his promise made to the wise
men.
II. Daniel reproving the king (vs. 17-
24). 17. Let thy gifts be to thyself —
Daniel as a prophet of God cares noth
ing for any reward this young king
can give, neither does he fear him.
18. The most high God—Whom Dan
iel proclaimed as the only God, and
whose power Nebuchadnezzar had recog
nized in the deliverance of the Hebrews
out of the furnace. Thy father—Grand
father. Majesty—in the eyes of his sub
jects. Glory. From his victories. Honor
—From the enlargement and decora-
tion of the city.
19. Whom he would he slew—In dis
pensing punishments he condemned or
acquitted at pleasure, and in dispens
ing rewards he granted or denied pre
ferments.—Com. Com. 20. Heart was
lifted up—In pride and arrogance, wilful
and obstinate. Deposed'-—This occurred
not by rebellion of his people,, but by
the direct visitation of God.—Bib. Mus.
He became insane and the reins of gov
ernment were taken out of his hands.
—Clarke.
21. He was driven—The madness that
fell upon him induced him to forsake
society and to run into the woods and
deserts, where he lived like a wild beast.
His case seems much like that of the
maniac in the gospel, whose dwelling
was among the tombs and in the moun
tains, and who shunned the society of
men.—ibid. 22. Thou..hast not hum
bled—Thou hast sinned, not through
ignorance but through deliberate con
tempt of God, regardless of all warn
ing. 23. Against the Lord—As if thou :
hadst been equal or even superior to .
Him in wisdom and power.—Benson, |
vessels of his house—“From the tern- i
pie of Bel, where they have been trea- |
sured up since the conqueror had car- ■
ried them from Jerusalem.” [
24. hand sent from him—From God. ;
This haughty young king lifted up his ;
heart against God, and mocked Him I
publicly; therefore the hand of God'
was against his ways, and his doom
was written by the finger of God. I
III. Daniel interpreting the writing
(vs. 25-28). 25. the writing—The words .
were Aramaic, with letters like the He- j
brew. Why could not the wise men read
them? Perhaps they could read the I
words, but were not able, or did not dare, !
to explain their meaning. 26. mene— '
This word is repeated to give emphasis.
It comes from a word meaning to num- I
her, to count. The days of the empire
were counted out in full. The soldiers
of the conqueror were awaiting outside
and would destroy it before morning. '
27. tekel—Which means weighed (hence
a shekel, which was originally a certain ■
weight). It resembles a word which sig- I
nified “light,” light of weight, like a I
counterfeit coin. The application is that j
Belshazzar had been weighed as to his ;
moral character and actions, and had [
been found wanting, of light weight. He
had not come up to the standard requir
ed. God had tested him and he had fail- j
ed.—Peloubet. 1
28. peres—This is the singular, while j
upharsin is the plural of the same word [
with “u,” which means “and,” prefixed, f
It is given in verse 25 in the plural, for '
emphasis, just as “mene” is doubled. It
means divided, but has the same con- j
sonants as Persians, and suggests them. ;
—Ibid, is divided—Not divided into two •
parts, but broken into pieces, destroyed. I
—Keil. Medes—Media was a large coun- j
try lying east of Assyria, north of Per- ;
sia, and southwest of the Caspian Sea. ’
Persia was a smaller and more moun- i
tainous country lying east of Chaldea, !
the Persian Gulf.—Todd. These na
tions had been combined into one king
dom by Cyrus.
IV. Daniel rewarded (v. 29). 29. with
scarlet, etc.—These carried with them
rank and power, third ruler—Next to
Eelshazzar who was second. Nabonidus,
the king, was first. “Daniel could not
refuse the offered honors without being
suspected of treachery to Babylon.
V. The king slain (v. 30). 30. in
that night—It must be understood that
the River Euphrates flowed through the
midst of Babydcn. Cyrus for some time
had been planning to draw away the
water of the river, and enter the city ’
through the bed of the river. When ail ;
was prepared he waited for the great !
feast. When it came all the leaders I
were revelling in the palace. Elsewhere !
the population was occupied with feast- [ ing and dancing (Jer. 51:39). Drunken!
riot and mad excitement held possession t
of the town; the siege was forgotten ; [
ordinary precautions, as the closing of i
j;he river gates (Issa. 45:1), were ne
glected. The undefended gateways were
seized; a war-shout was raised; the
alarm was spread. The drunken revellers
could make no resistance. The king,
paralyzed with fear at the handwriting
which had warned him of his peril,
could do nothing to chetk the progress
of the assailants, who carried all before
them everywhere- Bursting into the
palace, a band of Persians made their
way into the presence of the king and
slew him.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS.
The last charge against Eelshazzar
was “The God in whose hand thy7 breath
is, and whose are all thy ways, hast
thou not glorified” (v. 23). Our lesson
brings us in sharp contrast a man who
Glorified God and who did not. In it
we see:

Buda Pest, Hungary, Sept. 18.—Since
early morning dense masses of working
men have been marching to the Lower
House of the Diet for the purpose of
making a demonstration in favor of uni
versal suffrage. Crowds composed of
other classes also gathered, and strong
cordons of police were posted near the
building. Herr Julius Justh, President
of the House, received the deputations,
who presented petitions setting forth the
demands of the people. In reply Herr
Justh said his position as President of
the House prevented him expressing an
opinion, but he begged the people to wait
quietly the decision of Parliament.
Work is at a standstill in all th’e fac
tories, as the workers are taking part in
the demonstration. No disturbances had
occurred up to the time this despatch
was filed.

Wants Congress to Submit All International Ques
tions to an Impartial Board for Investigation.
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 18.—A letter ad
dressed to President Roosevelt from W.
J. Bryan, in which a plan for the pre
vention of war is suggested, was made
public last night.
Mr. Bryan congratulates the President
on bis success in bringing Russia and
Japan together, and says: “Why not
ask Congress for authority to submit all
international questions (when agreement
cannot be reached by parties interested),
to an impartial board for investigation
and report? Investigation will in nearly
every case remove the cause of com
plaint and reconcile the parties. Ques
tions which they might be unwilling to
submit to arbitration in advance could
he settled by investigation by an impar
tial international board.
Do., CT(I Chickens,
“It was a glorious thing to end the
war between the Russians and the Jap
anese, but it would have been more glor
ious to have prevented the war and
saved the frightful loss of life. The moral
pTestige which our nation now enjoys
would in all probability enable it to lead
a successful peace movement. The con
gratulations which you have received
from the hands of European Govern
ments strengthen the chances of success.
If the leading nations of the world would
enter into an agreement to join in the
creation of such a board and pledge
themselves to submit all disputes to the
board for investigation before declaring
the danger of war would be reduced to
a minimum.
“Few men have had it in their power
to do so much fot huinanity. Will you
improve the .opportunity?
(Signed) “Wm. J. Bryan.

article under the heading of Public
Conscience, specifically charging Justice
Deuel with violating his oath of office

Struck Twice by Shots From Dominion
Cruiser Vigilant.
Erie, Pa., Sept 18.—While fishing near
the boundary line in Lake Erie to-day the
fishing tug William J. McCarter, a small
boat of 15 tons, was struck twice by shots
from the Canadian cruiser Vigilant in the
efforts of the Canadian boat to compel the
tug to stop and surrender.
Captain Frank Handy, the engineer and
four men were on the tug, hut they were de
termined to escape, and made the run horns
in their damaged boat. The tug was struck
once near the water line, but the hull was
only dented. The second knocked over tile
“iron man,” a piece of machinery used in
hauling in wets. No one was hurt.
The boat sustained such small damage that
just before dark Captain Handy started out
again to pick up the nets he left behind. The
captain said that he was in American waters
when the shots were fired, but many of the
fishermen admit that they go over on the
Canadian side regularly to fish at this sea

YOUNG WOMAN WAS SLANDERED;
AFTERWARDS HOUNDED TO DEATH.
The Sad Story of Ella Berry, the Young Woman
Who Suicided in a New York Hotel.
New York, Sept. 18.—Lorenzo D. Ber
ry, a carpenter, of West Medford, Mass.,
te-day identified as that of his daughter
Ella the body of the young woman who
committed suicide on Wednesday in the
Hotel Manhattan. His son Elmer recog
nized the body as that of his sister.
After making the identification, the
father and son sought Coroner Scholer
to secure a permit to take the girl’s body
back to her home in West Medford for
burial.
“The newspapers have done all this,”
said the father when he was able to con
trol his grief. “My daughter, who was a
pure and modest girl, was a stenographer
' in her home town. A year ago a Boston
newspaper published a etory that she
had run away with a married man. The
I next day ' it turned out that she had
merely gone on her vacation alone, ami
that .she had nothing to do with the
married man named in the story, who
had disappeared. The newspaper printed
a retraction, but that did not help my

REFUSED TO DIVULGE NAME.
Woman Released After Declining to Tell
Who Shot Her.
New York, Sep t. 18.—Mary Hall, the
handsome young woman who was
found on Riverside Drive the night of
Aug. 11 with a bullet wound in her
breast, and who has been in custody
ever since on a charge of attempted sui
cide, was discharged to-day. The girl
says tha a companion shot her, but
from the hour when her cab drove
from a fashionable hotel to Rivetside
Drive, where the shooting occurred,
she has refused to name her assailant.
To-day the police gave up • their at
tempt to solve the case, and let the
girl go free on her promise to leave town
in care of her uncle, Zeno L. Crown, of
Rosemount, N. J.
Tired, nervous and irritable,
mother is unfit to care for her chil-
: dren, and her condition ruins the child’s
' disposition and reacts upon herself.
The mother should not be blamed, as
i she no doubt is suffering with back-
; ache, headache, bearing-down pains or
' displacement, making life a burden.
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com-
’ pound is the unfailing cure for this
condition. It strengthens the female
I organs and permanently cures all dis
orders such as this letter describes:

EMIGRANTS FOR AUSTRALIA.
Salvation Army Would Extend Coloniza
tion Scheme There.
London, Sept. 18.—Gen. Booth has
asked lion. Mr. Dea kin, the Australian
Premier, by cable, whether he can nlace
,in Australia 5.000 families, not desri-
;tqte. Contrasting Gen. Booth’s Aultra-
dian scheme with H. Rider Haggard’S
Canadian ideas/ the Chronicle says the
Beneral’s Salvation Army has fondness
for acting whilst other people are think
ing. and offers Australia to supply set-
. tiers more numerous than contemplated
by Haggard’s Canadian scheme.
Interview by the Chronicle regarding
his scheme, Gen. Booth said: “The Sal- i
vition Army is noxv engaged in reducing
emigration to a system by which on a
’large scale able-bodied men, wives and
families may be fitted to earn a living
in,another country. Last year the Army
sent a thousand to Canada, and only
four or five turned out failures. Can
ada can swallow up people bv thousands,
but there am other countries besides
Canada open for the purpose.”
