SUNDAY SCHOOL.
(Continued from page 11)
ually, He will deliver thee." His
faith in God in this particular seems
to have been strong indeed, for he
spent the night in fasting and did
not sleep all night. No doubt he
prayed that night to Daniel's God.
Ordinarily a man thrown into a den
of lions would be torn to pieces at
once. But the king was so well a?
sured that Daniel was safe that he
went to the den the next morning to
look for him.
When Daniel replied to his call,
the king did not seem at all sur
prised to find him alive. Daniel gave
as the explanation of his safety that
God had sent His angel, who shut
the mouths of the lions. How much
more natural, how much more inspir
ing, is this explanation than those
given by some writers who try to
take all of the miraculous out of thrt
Bible. One of the popular writers
on the Sunday school lessons explains
Daniel's safety by saying that some
men can go among bees without be
ing stung, some will not be attacked
by dogs, and some can go among
wild animals without being hurt. If
this was all in the case of Daniel,
he uttered a falsehood when he gave
his explanation. But we cannot be
lieve that Daniel would lie, especial
ly under the circumstances In which
he was placed.
The king, in accordance with the
barbarous methods of the time, in
flicted the severest punishment upon
Daniel's enemies, and issued a decree
proclaiming his God to be the true
God.
We should never forget that we are
surrounded by enemies the emissaries
of Satan, and that Satan himself goes
about as a roaring lion seeking to
devour us.
"Within a week after my conver
sion, thirty years ago, I passed by
the window of a picture store in St.
Louis, and I saw hanging in a win
dow an engraving of a painting of
Daniel in the den of lions. The
prophet, with his hands behind him,
and the lions circling about him, is
looking up and answering the king's
question. The one thing I was in
mortal fear of, in those days, was
that I might go back to my sins. 1
was a drunken lawyer in St. Louis
when I was converted, with no power
over an appetite for strong drink, and
I was so afraid of a bar-room or hd
tel or a club that when I saw I was
coming to one I would cross the street.
I was in torment day and night. No
one had told me anything about the
keeping power of Jesus Christ. I stood
before that picture and a great hope
and faith came into my heart, and I
said: 'Why, these lions are all about
me ? my old habits, and sins ? but the
God that shut the lions' mouths for
Daniel can shut them for me.' J
learned that my God was able. He
had saved me and He was able to de
liver me from the lions. Oh, what a
rest it was!" ? C. I. Scofleld.
MONTREAT AUDITORIUM.
By Mamie Bays.
The new auditorium, from a ma
terial point of view, is the outstand
ing feature of interest at Montreat,
the Summer Assembly of the South

hundreds of Presbyterians and many
others of different denominations are
looking forward as the season of the
present year begins. This auditorium,
with a seating capacity of 5,000, and
which has been pronounced by com

is more attractive from any viewpoint
