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 of men. 0, on of godly parents, how can you, with the sound of the voice of *other's prayers still on YOttr ears, ;make light of sacred things? And how can yqu stand 1py and hear others profane with ribaldry those things which your 'worshipful father held poly? At a bodge jollification, an item Of 'the program consisted of parodies on the a'evival songs of a fornier generation. Emt)tions cf the religious Ifervor of our Dithers were twisted into passions of drunkenness. The isurprlsing thing about it was that Middle-aged men, who sang these layluns in their youth under the guidance of pfoue parents aid earnest bhurph leaders s>l.t silently and lig• toned to the low jests and licentious ruggentions, and even joined in the It never leaves the Pocky precipice. But there is a rainbow above it, an eloquent promise of the Day when Mists will have rolled away. Look up at the Father's great throuel You know He is there. You can feel His presence. But clouds hidden from our view, But the very mist furnishes some beauty, for "there was a rainbow about the throne." Verily, thou art a God that bidest thyself," His providence is. hidden. 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. `ngs. We shall know why we did not snow why. We shall be so pleased With our new atmosphere that we shall be surprised that we were ever bee to live in the poorly ventilated 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." Maxiums And Proverbs.

Example teaches more than precept. Honesty is the best policy, He that would reap well must sow well. Handsome is that handsome doe'. He who aims to do right has Gud on his side. It is more honorable to acknowledge our faults than boasts of our merits, Idleness is the parent of many vices, If we subdue not our passions, they will subdue ue.
