Possibly this was the tree that formed the subject of the Irishman's story. "The trees out there are so big," said Pat, that it takes two men ON A TREE STUMP to gee the top of them. One looks as far up as he can, and the other starts where he left off." But this is by no means a lonely specimen. There are a number of trees in Stan- ley Park, Vancouver, which are be- tween fifty and sixty feet in circum- ference.

So the trap was laid, and the pre- sidents and princes and other high officials came before the King to ask a Royal decree forbidding any one in the Empire to "ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days" save of the Ring. The penalty wast to be the den of lions. The Ring fell into the trap; the decree was signed. Daniel knew about it, of course; so did every one in the. Empire. He knew it was his death warrant. And we read that when he knew the writing was signed he went to his house. and, just as before, he kneel- ed in prayer three times a day before his window,: enen toward Jerifalere. Flow did he prey?

We are not told that he prayed, but he may well have done so, perhaps reaching out after the God of Dan- iel, whom he knew not, but in whom he was beginning to believe. What a contrast between the King in liberty in his palace that night, and the prophet a captive in the den of lions that night! The king in keenest suffering and fear; the pro- phet in perfect peace and fearlr•ss- necs. Daniel was a far happier man than Darius jest then. At daybreak the King, hoping a- gainst hope, hastened to the den of lions and called out "with a lateen - table voice" tr, know the fate of his loved and trnl.sted friend.

Two things followed. Again the King gave a command, and the men who had plotted Daniel's death were east into the den of lions, their fam- ilies with them; and this time God's restraint of the lions was removed and all were slain. It is a terrible picture, but a true one, of the in- exorable law of God and the wages. of sin for those who resist and re- ject God.

Tighten Customs Rules Because of the increased number of tourists making short trips into Canada and buying merchandise with the intention of getting it back to the United' States free of duty under the rule allowing goods worth $100 to each tourist, custom officiai;: at Detroit have been interpreting the rule more strictly. Tourists aro now allowed to bring the $100 worth of merchandise free, but the goods must be of such nature as are or- dinarily carried in a 'person's bag- gage. The most frequent violators of this rule were bringing chinaware into the rountry, buying just en- nugh on each trip to bring it under the e100 limit. Such purchases will now be subject to duty.
