SUNDAY SCHOOL. Lesson Xlll.—Third Quarter, For Sept. 24. 1911. THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, Dan. vi 10-23. Memory Verses, 21-23—Golden Text, Ps. xxxiv, 7—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. These historical lessons from the book of Daniel are most fascinating and most practically helpful, inas much as the God of Daniel and his friends is none other than our Lord Jesus Christ, who is the same yester day, today and forever and always ready to hold strongly with all whose hearts are wholly for Him, not keep ing us from trials, but manifesting His presence with us in the trial and bringing us through to His glory. Men and women who believe God were never more needed than now. Oh, for a testimony such as was given concerning Daniel, even by his enemies! We shall not find any occa sion against him, except we find it concerning the law of his God (verses 4,5). Knowing something of his hab it of prayer, they asked the king to sign a decree that no one should ask a petition of any god or man save Darius for thirty days under penalty of being cast to the lions. Although Daniel knew the decree had been signed, he kept on as afore time, kneeling upon his knees in prayer three times a day, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, re membering I Kings vili, 47-49. His enemies did not need to watch long in order to catch him in their net, and the king was promptly informed that “that Daniel of the captivity of Judah regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed” (verse 13). If the king had not before seen the design of his presidents and princes against Daniel he saw it now’ and was sore displeased, not with Daniel, but with himself that he had not seen through this plot before sign ing the decree. He labored in vain to deliver his prime minister, whom he evidently esteemed and loved, but even the law of God, which is holy and just and good, cannot save any one, much less this law’ of the Medes and Persians, which was only a great iniquity. Our deliverance from the condemnation of the holy law of God is accomplished only by a sinless person taking the place of the guilty and suffering In our stead (II Cor. v, 21; Rom. iii. 19-24; x, 4). We do not read that Darius so loved Danied that he gave himself for him and went to the den of lions in his stead, but we do read just that vir tually of Jesus Christ (I Pet. ii, 24; Gal. ii, 20, 1. c.). Daniel was cast to the lions (probably not very gently), a stone laid upon the mouth of the den and sealed with the signet of the king and his lords. Imagine the re joicing on the part of his enemies be cause they were now rid of him, and no doubt they ridiculed the God of Daniel who could not deliver him from the lions nor from their power. After a night of sleeplessness and fasting very early in the morning the king is found at the den of lions call ing aloud to Daniel if perchance he may still be alive. Surely Darius must have learned something of the power of Daniel's God to be able to imagine such a thing possible and to encourage him as he did on his way to the den. With what joy and grat itude the king must have heard the voice of Daniel and the w’ords, “My God hath sent His angel and hath shut the lions’ mouths that they have not hurt me” (22). So Daniel wms taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt w r as found upon him because he believed in his God (23). Thus shall it be in the morning of the first resurrection. No matter what the saints have suffered here in their mortal bodies, the resurrection body, will be perfect, for Ate shall be like Him (I John iii, 2). The accusers of Daniel were then cast into the den of lions, with their wives and chil dren. and there wms no deliverance for them. As to the righteous and the wicked, we read in Ts. xlix, 14, that the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning. Study the morning deliverances of Scripture, but note that there Avill be no morning for the enemies of God (Isa. A’iii, 20. R. \.). In verses 25 to 27 see how by a world wide decree the living God. the God of Daniel, Avas magnified. How tell ing are the words in verse 28, “So this Daniel prospered,” and according to the last sentence in his book eve shall find him in his appointed place in the kingdom—that kingdom under the •whole heaven Avhicli is to be giAen to the people of the saints of the Most High, when all dominions shall serve and obey Him (Dan. vii, 2<>. That will be after or in connection XA’ith the overthrow of ail the kingdoms of this world, as set forth in Dan. ii and Aii. The great, self exalting, God defying antichrist shall come to his end, and h none shall help him (Dan. xi. 3(5-38, 451. Then shall “the stone” without hu man aid break in pieces the world powers and fill the earth with a king dom of peace and righteousness, and the enemies of the Lord shall perish as truly as did Daniel's enemies (Dan. ii. 34. 35-44; vii. 9-14: 11 Thess. 1, 7-10). The Messiah has been cut off without receiving His kingdom, but at the end of the seventieth Aveek everlasting righteousness shall be the portion of Daniel's people (Dan. lx, 24-27; Isa. lx, 21; xxxii, 1-17; Jer. xxiil, 3, G). * No. 9 »•>»« B^-*'»:> — Brushes are required for the good appearance of anyone, and in many ways they are important for your health, being necessary for the care of the teeth, the skin, your clothes and your hair.
