I TETE ITANDWRITING ON TIIL: WALL,
SI. Tour INTERPRETATION, vs, 17-31.
IN'TitoDUCTION—There are two an-
cient accounts of the fail of Babylon
and the end of the Babylonian_ empire,
with waicb the tory told in this
Chapter may be compared. The first
of these is foundin inscriptions of the
latter part of the sixth century, 13.C.,
apparently contemporary with the
events recorded.' According to these
inscriptions Cyrus, who in B,C. 549
became king of the little country of
Aushan in the southern l,ai't of Per-
sia, and Who in B.C._546, or earlier,
was called "king of Persia," invaded
the Babylonian country .in B,.C. 538,
deleatee. the army of Nabonidus, last
of the icings of Babylon, captured the
cities of Sipp..e and Babylon, and took
the king prisoner, and nearly four
wveelcs later the icing's son, Belshazzar,
was slain in a. night attack upon some
stronghold:. in which he must' have
been making a prolonged resistance.
It 's possible th;.t Belshazzar was de-
clared king after his father was taken
'prisoner, but this fact isnot-recorded.
The second story is drawn from the
writings of two famous ..,Greek .his-
torians of the fifth century, B.C., Her-
edotus and Xenophon, both of whom
'had visited Persia, and tells how
`Cyrus diverted the waters of`the river,
Euphrates into another channel, and
.entered the city bythe dry bed of the
river while the king and the people
were holding a festival. Tbere are
differ'en c in detailbetween both of
these stories and the' account here
given in the book of Daniel, but it is
quite possible that with fuller knowl-
edge they may be reconcile:'/, Bel-,
•ehazzar, for instance, in the ancient
records, appears to be the son of Na-
'bortidus, not of Nebuclradnezvai, Dan-
iel : 2= :,3. It is suggested that his
mothermay have been a daughter of
Nebuchadnezzar, aril he, therefore, a
grandson.
I. THE HANDWRITING. ON THE WALL,
vs. 1-16.
Belshazzar 'Ade. a great feast . , .
:and drank wine. The feasting and
wine -drinking are represented as un-
u sual and ostentatiot:s. The Babylon-
ians, homer, are said bp one ancient
writer to chairs been given to excess
in such matters. on this night dan-
gee threatened the city, and the king
and his lords n,ight have been much
'better employed in its defence. They
seem to have been confident in the
city's strength, and in their ability to
-repel the invaders. It has been sug-
egested that there Was treachery within
the walls, and that aBbylon was be-
t rayed into the hands of Cyrus and
'tis generals. In any ease feasting and
drunkenness do not help men to guard
land defend the honor and safety of
'their Ironies, whether i . times of peace
yr of war.
To the Jewish writer of this story
there was an element Of sacrilege in
'the use of the golden and silver ves-
eels, once consecrated to the service of
'God in the temple at Jerusalem (see
.¢h, 1: 2 end Jer. 52: 19), Theseves-
Seta were returned by Cyrus to the
company of exiles whom he permitted
to go bask to Jerusalem, and to Te -
build the temple, Ezra 1: '7-11.
Tho .cord "father" may quite pro -
Tarty have been used for "grand-
fathe:'," ot "ancestor" (compare Gen..
'28: 13 and.1 Kings 15: 11).•The rhes-
snee of women at the feasts, at least
'among the Persians, is vouched for by
ilerodotus, The Septuagint, the an,
•tient Greek version, adds to verse 4
• 'the words, "but the eternal Cod they
praised not who hath power over their
•spirit," How could num whose minds
were befuddled by drink, in such a
scene of riot. praise the eternal God?
'Compare v. 23.
In the, full light of the caaclestick
-there appeared a mysterious hand-
writing on the plaster of the wall,
The wine which he had drunk had not
added to the king's courage. He wits
seized with panic and superstitious
fear. Verses 1 and 8 suggest that the
king at first sent a message to the
wise men offering a rich reward for
the reading and interpretation of the
strange writing • and after that they
carne in to the Banqueting -hall.
Now tine queen (v. 1D) showed more
wisdom and courage than the terror -
'stricken king and his astonished lords.
She remembered the great reputation
of 'Daniel, who must, at this time,
have been a very old man. 13e had
'been carried captive as a boy from
Jerusalem to Babylon sixty-seven
years before, els, 1: 1-6. Daniel was
bent for and promised an.almost royal
dignity„•high rank, and a ;plane of
'authority in the kingdom (v. 16),- if
'he could read and interpret the writ -
Ing.
II. THE INTERPRETATION, vs. 17-81.
Daniel does not, and will not, etter-
eiee his great gifts for such.rewards
as the icing can effete To hint the
price of wisdom is above purple robes,
gold chain, and royal dignity. .Out
• .of the past which he remembers so
well he recalls to the king the example.
.of his great predecessor, Nebuchad-
siezzar, and the humbling of his pride
I(see the story told at length in oh. 4).
Belshazzar• might have taken that
lesson to heart. Nc,w his pride, too,
will be humbled. His doom is pro-
nounced in the hands riling :on the
wail.
In v, 25 the writing, Contains four
words, the filet word being •repeated.
In the interpretation there -are only
three' :words, the third 1 rum the sante
root as the corresponding woad in v.
25, but in a. different' forma So also
in the Greek and°"Latin versions. The
words seenn to have each a double
meaning. > "Mena" may be 'identical
with the Hebrew "tnauch” and Latin
"mina," awei-h'equal to sixty shek-
-els. Tekel is the Aramaic form of the
v: ore "shekel." Peres, of which the
form in verse 25 may be plural, is.
link a mina. 'At the same: time the,
sound of this word in the plural sus
posts the word Persians.. With some
doubt as to the primary meaning Of
the three words' therefore, we May
venture to :translate, amina, a shekel,
two half -minas, The first word sug-
gests number,, the second weight, and
the dried division.. Daniel's inspired
interpretation, therefore, can be
understood. •

New York,—The action of the

taking over the properties of the com-
pany in

American representative of the South
Manchuria Railway, told a staff cor-
respondent of the Monitor here that
Japan was watching the development
with utmost concern,
"'Japan has repeatedly voiced her
policy withregard to peace and or -
dor in Manchuria," Mr, Go said. "This
has a vital bearing upon Japan's na-
tional existence and nationa.i'defense.
The Japanese ,Government: is, ` there-
fore, vitally Interested in the main
tenanee of peace in these regions.
"There is a fundamental 'unanimity
of opinion throughout Japan that itis

Japanese interests, rights :and trade

tion as other parts of China, the pro-
fession 'of
ro-fession'of the principle or the open
door and equal opportunity would re-
solve itself into ,nothing more than
mere lip service?'
Japan Supports Status Quo
Mr. Go said he had received no .ad.
vices from his company regarding the
situation which has developed in Nan.
ohuria. He was confident, however,
that no similar action would be at
tempted by the Chinese ' Nationalists
in connection; with the South Man-
chum.
anchurn Railway, which is under •Jap-
anese management And control.
"China knows that any action simi-
lar to that she has Just effected
against Russia would be immediately
contested most vigorously by Japan,"
he salei. "I do not anticipate any
trouble from the Chinese Nationalists
on tate Japanese end of the road."
Any step Japan might take, he de-
clared, would be actuated solely by
its interest in maintaining the status
quo. I•te described -what he referred
to as Use process of attrition to which
the Nationalist Government has been
subjecting the Russian management
of the Chinese l5astern Railway ever
since the Mukden agreement for joint
control in 1924.
"The Nationalist` Government has,
been attesting its aggressive spirit to-
ward the Russian management ever
since that time,! Mr:. Go continued.
"It first took over the schools in North
Manchuria, whichare 'financed with
railway funds and had been managed
by Russians. Then it took over the
railway's river steamer fleet, The
third action was tiro seizure of the
railway -telephone sTetent."
Appeal Not Available
Mr, Go declared that Russia was
impotent to act militarily against
China in Manchuria and had leo court
of appeal since she is outside the
League of Nations and the Washing-
ton Treaty.
The Foreign Policy Association has
just issued a bulletin in which it res
views the whole of the. Chinese East-
ern Rahway question, which It char-
acterizes as a "bone of contention be-
tween Nationalist ' China and. Soviet
Russia," and as having been "a con-
stant and important factor affecting

its inception in 1896," •
