BY REV. BYRON H, STAUFFER
Pastor Bond Street Congregational Church, Toronto
THE STING OF BELSHAllER'S
REMORSE
Texts, "And thou his son, 0 Bels
shazzar, haat not humbled thine
heart, though thou knewest all this."
--Daniel 6;22.
Lord Byron might ,have written of
ancient ,Babylon as he wrote of
modern Brussels:
"There was a sound of revelry bei
night,
And Belgium's capital had gathered
then
Her beauty and her chivalry, and
bright
The lamps shone o'er fair women
and braye men;
A thousand hearts beat happily; and
when
Music arose with lits voluptuous•
swell,
Soft eyes looked, love to eyes which
spake again,
And all went merry as a marriage,
bell."
To have a great banquet you need
a great capital. You could perhaps
move the National Club, the Albany
Club, the Toronto Club, up to Bramp-
ton for a day and have a great sup-
per, but, generally speaking, the
wealth, the learning and the culture
of a great metropolis must be behind
a banquet. One might have a splen-
did collation of saimoti and partridge
and turkey, and call together the beg-
gars of the city for a meal, but you
would hardly call it "a feast of reason
and a slow of soul." A certain unity
is necessary for a real supper. It
'may be of military officers or of
money lords or of engineers, or
printers, or labor union officials, all
of which are found, not on the prairie
but in a metropolis,
Great Babylon was big enough to
have a banquet which still echoes its
revelries down through the centuries.
Babylon was older then than London
is now. Herodotus, father of history,
tells us about it. If Spadina Avenue
were one-third wider and extended
straight up to North Toronto it would
be one of the famous streets of the
world, Well, ancient Babylon had
fifty such streets oVer which the
1charfots of her millionaires were
• driven. The city was surrounded by
a wall built by Nebuchadnezzer in
which were five thousand millions of
sol}d feet of masonry. Many bricks
of one cubic foot have been found
with the name of the mighty king
stamped upon them.
The great palace in which the ban-
quet was held was six times as large
as St. Peter's in Rome, and four times
as long as the Capitol in Washington.
Surrounding the huge structure were
grounds larger than Central Park, New
York City, enclosed by an outer wall
so high that thirteen six-foot men
standing erect above one another
would be needed to reach the top.
The great hall accomodated four
thousand guests. It was embellished
with winged statues, carvings, and
unique forms of sculpture, emblazon-
ed with trophies of war and cymbals
of idolatrous worship. It was a weird.
time for a banquet. An enemy from
the north was in the land but seemed
to be retiring. Cyrus of Mede ap-
peared to be whipped. The patriot-
ism of Babylon was kindled, but alas
with a false confidence. Like the
English at Bannockburn the soldiers
were drinking when they should have
been putting au edge on their swords.
A Bruce Was ready to pounce upon
them though they knew it not.
On with the dance! They laughed
at Cyrus, those over -confident Baby-
lonians. The guards deserted their
posts. The gates were left open.
The king drank with a thousand.
lords. Let joy be unoonflned! In.
drunken wassail do they pass the
hours, "Let us do something out of
the ordinary," cries some drunken
peer. It Is ever the way with riotous
success. New Corms of ribald revelry
must ever bo invented•. Some new
kind of seance must enliven the pro.
ceedings of New Year's Eve parties.
The latest forms of debauchery are
imported from New York to Toronto.
No protective tariff, no defeat of rect.
procity, can prohibit the importation
of our neighbors' latest fads of vice.
Vileness in dance, dress or drama
knows no international boundary,
The king himself supplies the novel+
ty which satiated appetite demands.
"Bring out those Jewish cups! Those
gold and silver vessels which my
father took from the house of the
Jewish God in Jerusalem. There are
two thousand of them in yon store
house. Ynough for all the men and
women of this gracious company."
And their toasts were not to the God
'of Judah but to other gods of gold
and silver, brass and iron, wood and
stone. They ridiculed Jehovah and
blasphemed. In doing so, ,Belshazzar
sinned against the light, He knew
the power of Daniel's God. It was
as if the children of pious parents
broke into the church building, pro-
'aned the communion set and cast
ridicule on our Saviour. At the height
• of the blasphemous revelry a bodiless
hand appeared on the wall over against
the candlestick. The fingers moved,
the hand was writing. "Then was
the king's countenance changed and
his thoughts troubled him so that the
Solnts of his loins were loosed and
his knees smote one against another,"
;You see his conscience troubled him!
vie knew! Things which but arouse
Curiosity in the righteous awaken
fright in the wicked, The king had
the aooth-sayers called in to interpret
the 'writing. A reward was offered,
but red scarlet robes, gold chains and
oilver did not avail; none could an.
'ewer, "Then was the king greatly
troubled." The queen came in ant'
advised him to call •Daniel whom hit
gather had honored. Daniel is sen
for and the king addresses him ane'
!urges him to make the interpretatioi
and promises. him great reward
Daniel replies; "Let thy gifts be b
thyself and give thy rewards to an
'other," but he will read the writing
and he will give the interpretation.
God gave the king's father a king
teem, but when his heart was lifted
!up and his mind hardened he was
!deposed from his kingdom, he was
made an outcast, his heart was made
ns the beasts, he had ..is dwelling
'with the wild asses and his body was
wet with the dews of the night. He
as punished until he knew that the
ost high God ruled in the kingdom
f men.
And noes cane the significant words:
'And thou, his son, 0 Belshazzar, hast
paot humbled thine heart though thou
knewest all this, but hast lifted up
tthysellf against the God of Heaven,
(and hast praised the gods of wood
,and stone, and the God .in whose hand
thy breath is hast thou not glorified."
!Daniel interprets the fatal words:
"'God hath numbered thy xingdom and
[finished it." "Thou are weighed in the
(balance, and found wanting." ' "Thy
kingdom is divided and given to the
edes and Persians."
1 "In that night was Belshazzar, King
elf the Chaldeans, slain."
iOne great lesson of this awful
rgedy .is ,tas .# . GOD SEES.
All things are nakedand
!open unto the eyes of him - with
'whom we have to do." God looks
!,down into the details of our social
life. He is present at banquets. ' He
s in our dining rooms and our . par-
lors. His eye is more piercing than
la hydro -electric lamp. Before His
sight the very sun as dark as night.
iYeu may deceive men. You may dye
your hair, but God can look down
Into your old white scalp. You may
put rouge upon your face, but in
!God's 'washbasin the cheek will lose
Its artificial color. Why attempt to
deceive yourself? On a tombstone of
New England is this odd but apt
epitaph: . ,
"Once I stood where thou dost now,
And viewed the dead as thou dost me,
1
t But soon thou'lt lie as low as 1
And others stand and gaze on thee."
More important still Is the solemn
fact that GOD KNOWS HOW MUCH
WE KNOW. Our responsibility is
measured accordingly. °Thou knewest
all this." Belshazzar had the benefit
of his father's experience. Therefore
the son's requirement was the greater.
In the fact of his knowledge of Jeho-
vah's dealings with Nlebuchadnezzer,
!the young king profaned the worship
of that •(loll 'who ruled in the kingdom

The best hymn for a funeral of 'which
I know is, "Some Day We'll Under-
stand:
Some day we shall see souls more
distinctly than we see them flow.
The habitations of souls hide our
view. Like the country boy who re-
turned from the metropolis to say
that he couldn't see the city because
the houses were in the way, so we
cannot see men's souls distinctly be-
cause of the bodies in which souls
live, We sometimes think we can
estimate men's souls by the length
of noses and the size of chins. We
will know each other better when the.
mists have cleared away. • Phreno-
logical guessing is so deceptive. We
misinterpret acts and misconceive
characters. Juries see through a
glass darkly and judges find that they
know only in part. We ses our friends
gradually. A soul reveals itself to
us by the slow process of years. By
and by we see its hidden beauty and
we marvel that we ever doubted the
possibility of anybody's immorality.
Some day an angel •will come and
open the door and say "Walk out."
And we will go through the door into
the infinite. And we will be surprised
to see that the mists have all cleared
away. And we will find that •all the
mist was on the pane, and now that
the glass is behind us the mist its
behind us too. Then shall we see
plainly. There'll be no shadows. We
shall perfently read the Book of God's
providences. We shall perfectly see
the reasons for our manifold suffer.

snow why. We shall be so pleased
With our new atmosphere that we
shall be surprised that we were ever

house of the finite, We shall be so
pleased witn our perfect sight that
we shall say: "I never did know how
poor my eyesight was and how 'heavy
She frost on the pane," and when we
meet the friends gone before we shall
say: "I never knew they were such
beautiful souls," and when we shall
see the King in Isis beauty we shall
say: "Something hindered me from
seeing Him perfectly before. It was
the frost on thepane that hindered
me, but now the mists have cleared
away."
