some rancid meat fryings. Needless

I. DANIEL'S RESOLVE, 8-10,
V. Daniel's great service to reit-
gion cOesisted in his resolve, to abide
by religious principle at the Baby-
lonian Mart.. There waS evegy temp-
tation to become lax, and, as we say,
"to do in Rome as Rome does." It was
the practice at Nebuchadnezzar's
court for courtiers and favoriteo- of
the monarch to dine sumptuously at
his table, and to drink tee royal wine,
and when Daniel was exalted to a
place at the court it was expected that
he would' act like the others. But
Daniel felt constrained by moral and
religious reasons to protest against
the cuetom. His own religion forbade
the eating of foods vehich had been
offered in sacrifice to idols, as some
'of the king's "dainties" were, Feasts
