Is it a spirit? is it a phantom? Is it God?
The music f tops. The goblets fail from the

for two years had been laying a siege to that
city, took advantage of fiat arousal, and
came in. I hear the feet of tho con juerora

and broken wr aths, and ihe slush of up-et

King. For in that night was Belshazzar
slain.
I. I learn from this, that, when God writes
it aD 3 'thing on the wall, a man had better read
as it is. Daniel d.d not misinterpret or
all modify foolishness the handwriting on the wall. It is
