S. S. LESSON FOR MAY 3rd, 1925
Lesson Title—The : enefts of To-
tal Abstinence,
Lesson Passage—Dan. 1:8-17.
Golden Text—Dan. 1:8.
Let us teach you to grain

son costs you nothing and
you can imitate the natural
wood after one lesson.-

tiful colors of the various
woods. Its varnish flows
without a brush mark, and
will stand the hardest abuse
without scratching.
Daniel, the wisest and most dis-
tinguished statesman of his day, and
one of the noblest and most beautiful
characters in history, was born prob-
ably in Jerusalem about 623. That
period of time was one of ceaseless
conflict and 'social upheaval. The
Assyrian empire, which had lasted
for more than a thousand years, was
tottering to its fall; the Babylonian
empire, which was to succeed it, was
struggling again into existence.
Egypt which had at different times
dominated Western Asia, was once
more seeking to regain its ascen-
dancy; and the kingdom of Judah
was about to pass into captivity. In
such times as these Daniel was born
into a family in some way connected
with the royal house of Judah.
Being then of blood royal he would
be an object of special care. He
would be clothed, fed and educated in
a manner becoming his righ rank and
he would be trained in all the cus-
toms pertaining to court life. Nor
would his religious education be neg-
lected for it was the time of good
king Josiah who had instituted a re-
ligious revival and put down idolat-
rous worship in his land. Then too,
he would come under the influence of
the prophet Jeremiah. He could not
fail to be impressed by that great
man for there was none so well fitted
to inspire the youth of his day with
holy and patriotic aspirations.
The tragic death of Josiah and all
the events that followed in quick suc-
cession culminating in the siege of
Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar and
the carrying away captive of many
of the children of Israel marked a
decided change in the life of Daniel.
He was one of the King's seed (verse
3) made captive and chosen to stand
in the king's presence. He is sup-
posed to have been about seventeen
years of age, and if this supposition
be correct, then he and Joseph were
of an age when they began their cap-
tivities. It is significant too that
both youths rose to the highest dis-
tinction in the lands whither they
were carried captive.
Verses 8-17.—At College.
In verses 3 and 4 we read how the
king spoke to Ashpenaz, the master
of the eunuchs that he should choose
out special youths to be taught the
learning and the tongue of the Chal-
deans.
These youths were to be highly
gifted in body and mind so that at
the end of their three years' training
they would .be fitted to take their
place among the wise men. of the
Babylonish kingdom.
Among the chosen ones were four
of the children of Judah. The names
of Daniel and his three companions
were changed to native ones to bind
them more closely to the empire.
This must have been a depredation
which they would feel keenly. Their
birth -names reminded them always
of the God of their fathers (Daniel
signified God is my judge) and to
have to be henceforth called by
names that reminded them of heathen
idols would indeed be an indignity.
Another displeasing . thing was the
arrangement made for their board—
daily provision of the king's meat,
and of the wine which he drank.
This Daniel considered would cause
hint to break the law of Moses and to
countenance idolatry—two things he
determined he would not do. Taking
into consideration his youth, his posi-
tion in a strange land and the danger
of refusing we marvel at his moral
courage. We also admire his prud-
ence. He did not bluntly refuse to
comply but he pleaded with the prince
of the ennuchs. He had this to his
advantage that his personal qualities
had caused him to become a favorite
of this man's so that he listened to
Daniel's plea but told him how it
was impossible for him to grant the
request. It might displease the king
if in any way their personal appear-
ances suffered and in that case the
prince's life would be endangered.
Daniel was not daunted by this re-
fusal but sought out the inferior offi-
cer who had been appointed to the
over -sight of these four youths. His
proposal was that a trial of a diff-
erent diet should be made for ten
days and the result noted. He with
perhaps the secret permission of his
superior, agreed to this and for ten
days a vegetable diet and water
were substituted for meat and wine.
Temperance and the simple life are
confessedly favorable to health and
beauty of body and the trial was a
success so that what Jeremiah said
of the Nazarites in Jerusalem—could
have been said of Daniel and his
friends:—"The Nazarites were purer
than snow, they were whiter than
milk, they were more ruddy in body
than rubies, their polishing was as
of sapphhte" (Lam. 4:7).
No longer were they offered the
)ring's meat and wine but were vege-
tarians and their miode of life Was
conducive to high thinking. The
fear of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom both as regards right rays
of living and successful ways of
study..
'hese four', youths made remark-
able progress in their studies and it
1tl as true to -day as then that teslhlper-
ante and piety produce good results.

In the succeeding verses of 'tris
chapter we read how at the end of
the ternti 'of three years' study the
king tested the knowledge of au : the
young meat and he found Daniel and
his three companions far superior to
the others an vision and personal
appearances, Indeed, he adjudged
their wis+dti ` to be ten times better
than
than that' of all the magicians -and
enchanters in his realm. So he se-
lected them for the public service and
Daniel continued in office until the
end of the seventy years of captivity.
The success that attended the efforts
of these youths confirms Solomon's
observation: "Seest thou 'a man dili-
gent in his business, sober and hum-
ble? He shall stand before kings, he
shall not stand before mean men."
(Prov. 22:29).

Aching Backs and Tired Limbs
Need Not be Endured.
A CHOICE BLEND
DOMIN ON 25cI LASSES TINS
Too many women endure suffering
that casts a shadow over half her ex-
istence. An aching back, tired limbs,
attacks of faintness, splitting head-
aches need not be a part of woman's
life. Sue'h trials indicate plainly that
the blood is thin and watery and that
the sufferer needs the help of a real
tonic such as Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
Suffering women who have used this
medicine 'speak of it in the highest
terms. Among those who have been
thus helped'is Mrs. Ada L. Harman,
Virden, Man., who writes:—"Follow-
ing the birth of a still -born child a
few years ago, I had a very serious
time. I was so weak for months that
I could not walk across the room
without a feeling of faintness. I had
scarcely strength enough to stand up,
and when dressing would' have to sit
down two. or three times. My face
and lips were colorless, I had no ap-
petite, and,.. life did not seem worth
living. A friend urged me to try Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills and I got six
boxes. Before they were all gone I
felt improved. My appetite was re-
turning, color was coming into my
face, and I was visibly stronger. I
continued taking the pills and fully
regained niy former good health. I
consider Dr. Williams' Pink Pills a
blessing to weak women, and hope
my experience will induce some other
sufferer to fry them.
You can get these pills from any
medicine dealer, or by mail at 50
cents a box direct from The Dr. Wil-
liams' ,Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

dealt with them are described in a
wonderful :book, "The Mentality of
Apes" first published in London.
Here is how one of the apes, Sul-
tan, found a way out of a difficulty.
Outside the bars of his cage and be-
yond his reach a banana was placed.
He was given two .pieces of hollow
bamboo, neither of which by itself
was long enough to reach the fruit.
He took up the two sticks and played
with them for a time. Then sudden-
ly he fitted one into the other to
make a jointed rod, rushed to the
bars of ,his cage, and found no dif-
ficulty in securing the delicacy he de-
sired.
When food was hung from the roof
of their cage at such a height that
they could not reach it by jumping,
the apes would make use of boxes to
act as platforms. They would drag
a box to a position beneath the sus-
pended fruit, mount it, and obtain
the prize. Several) of the apes would
place a second box on top of the first
if one was not sufficient.
Several discovered as. amazing way
of using a long pole as an aid to
reaching something suspended out of
their reach. An ape would seize the
pole and place it upright with one
end resting upon the ground. Then
he could climb up it at lightning
speed, and just before it fell would
spring from its top and seize the
fruit.
Two kinds of dances were observed
amongst the apes. In the first, one
ape would stamp and drum upon a
box whilst another would spin round
and round, springing from one foot
to the other and stretching the arms
out horizontally just as a human dan-
cer might. The second dance was a
kind of "ring o' roses." Several apes
would form a ring, and would circle
round and round a post in single file,
stamping much harder with one foot
than with the other and wagging
their heads to keep time with t h e
stamps:,
The observer happened one day to
get a splinter of wood into his finger.
Having seen the apes render first aid
to one another he held out the finger
to one of them and painted to the
splinter. "He examined the •wound,
seized My hand, and forced out the
splinter by two very skilful but some-
what painful squeezes with his finger
nails."
These are merely a few of the
hundreds of instances of reasoning
on the part of apes which Professor
Kohler gives in his book.
SOME APES AS CLEVER AS
MEN
Place a bone just beyond the reach
of a chained -up dog, give the dog a
piece of stick which would enable
him to capture the food if only he
would use it, and what would be the
result? If left to his own devices
the dog would starve to death..
This is because lie is incapable of
any but the Most • straightforward
kind of reasoning.. To him there is
only one way of reaching the bone;
he must break the chain. He strug-
gles to do this, but it never occurs
to him to take the stick in his teeth
and use it as a tool.
Man has risen to his position high
above the rest of the animals because
his reasoning powers enable him to
find ways out of the difficulties with
which he is confronted.
Man's nearest relative among the
animals is the chimpanzee. This an-
imal's brain is much more developed
than that of others; but can he rea-
son and can he make any use of
tools? Just before the war, Profes-
sor Kohler set 'himself the task of
finding the ane ers to these ques-
tions. He obtained a number of
chimpanzee to whom he set problems
of all kinds. The ways in which they
