Lesson VII. —Fourth Quarter, For
Nov. 12,1911.
THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES.
Text of the Lesson, Dsn. v, 17-3*.
Memory Verses, 25-28—Golden Text,
Eceles. xll, lA-—Commentary Prs
parsd by Rev. D. M. Stearns.
We are glad to have another lesson
In Daniel, hot It may be so long be
fore we return to this book that It
may be to glance at the book as
a whole and outline Its contents. It
is the book of the times of the gen
tiles until the time of the kingdom
shall come when Daniel’s city and
people shall have their transgressions
blotted out and shall enjoy the ever
lasting righteousness of chapter ix,
24. Any one can make an outline to
suit himself, but the following, by
chapters, may suggest a better one.
I. Daniel's purpose of heart. 11. The
stone kingdom to till the earth. 111.
The image worship, or the furnace.
IV. The proud humiliated. V. The
judgment on the blasphemer. VI. The
triumph of God over His enemies.
VII. The everlasting kingdom (paral
lel with chapter ii). VIII. Kingdoms
friendly to Daniel’s people. IX. Dan
iel’s prayer and Gabriel's prediction of
the seVenty-sevens. X. Gabriel’s sec
ond visit to Daniel. XI. Antichrist
and his overthrow. XII. The kingdom
to follow the resurrection of the just
and the great tribulation. From even
such au outline as this we see that
the portion assigned for today’s lesson
is just the story of a sample leader of
the devil’s followers, whose end is
surely foretold in Fs. ix, 17; Matt,
xxv. 41. It is part of the great king
dom story of the l»ook and - must be
considered in that connection as well
as in its personal relation to indi
viduals. It is the record of a drunken
revel with which God Interfered sud
denly. It was a great gathering of
great people In the eyes of the world,
and doubtless those Invited felt as
much honored as Hainan did (Es.
r, 5) when Invited to the banquet of
Queen Esther. The golden and sliver
vessels which had been taken from
the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem
were used as common drinking ves
sels, and they praised all gods except
the living and true God.
In the midst of their drunken revelry
a • Very strange and startling thing
happens, for the fingers of a man’s
hand are seen writing words upon the
plaster of the wall of the king’s pal
ace, and the king saw the part of the
hand that wrote (verse 5). The king
is filled with trembling and dismay,
and all his wise man ace called to in
terpret the words, but they could not
read the writing (verse 8). This is
the third time in this book that the
wisdom of this world failed to under
stand the tlilugs of God (11. 10; v, 27).
How true it is that “the things of God
knoweth no man, but the spirit of
God" (I Cor. ii, 10). All the wisdom
of this world is utterly at fault con
cerning things heavenly. The opinions
and surmises of people are not worth
the breath that utters them when they
venture upon the things of God. There
are unseen agents all about us, and
while the hand of the Lord is against
His enemies It Is upon all them for
good that seek Him (Ez. viii, 22).
The queen hears of the unusual and
startling event, and, coming into the
banquet house and seeing the king
greatly troubled and his lords astou
ished and the wise men helpless, she
remembered Daniel and bis marvel
ous skill in interpreting hard tilings
in the days of Nebuchadnezzer, and
she said, ‘‘Let Daniel .be called and he
will show the interpretation” (verses
10-12). When Daniel came into the
presence of the king he was told of
the inability of all the wise men to
interpret the writing and was offered
a great reward or great rewards if
he would do it (verses 13-10). Dis
daining the proffered rewards. Daniel
said, ‘‘Yet I will rend the writing unto
the king and make known to him the
interpretation” (verse 17). We think
of Abraham's rejection of the offer of
the king of Sodom, of Elisha’s re
jection of Naaman’s gifts and of
Peter’s remark that the things of God
cannot be purchased with money. The
refusal of the man of God to go home
with Jeroboam or accept his gifts
(I Kings xiii) is also on the same line.
Daniel then reminded the king of
what the most high God had done for
his father and how He had humbled
him and added fearlessly and search
ingly. “Thou hast not humbled thine
heart though thou knowest all this,
but hast lifted up thyself against the
Lord of heaven, * * * and the God
in whose hand thy breath is and
whose are all thy ways hast thou not
glorified” (verses 22, 23). W hat a
searching word for multitudes of peo
ple! The time of all earthly kingdoms
is fixed. Only the kingdom of God is
eternal. The Lord is a God of knowl
edge, and bv Him actions arc weighed
(I Sam. ii, 3i Our days are numbered,
our thoughts and actions weighed, and
the life story inji uiorral body will lig
finished some day. However rnucTi
riches and honor may have l>een ob
tained. the question comes, "Then
whose shall those things be?” As to
the condition of those who rebel
against God, let the words of the Lord
Jesus in Luke xvi. 23; Mark ix, 43-48
tell all who desire to know. See also
Rev. xx. 15. " *..
Babylon may perish, but Daniel and
all who, like him. do the will of God
■hall continue and abide forever.
What shall It profit though a man
gain the world and All Its pleasure !f
his soul is not saved?
Election of County
School Superintendent.
The following letter explains
itself;
Hon. T. J. Brown, McDonough,
Georgi t.
Dear sir;
As you knew, Mr. Tolleson’s
term of office as County School
Commissioner will expire on May
7, 1912, and prior to this date
under the law there must be an
election by the people for his
successor. Section 2 of the act
(See page 112, 1911 “School
laws”) provides that an election
must be held not later than 60
days before this date. In order
to save the candidates and coun
ties expense it has been decided
to have the election in each
county coincident with the Gov
ernor’s election. Section 14,
page 107, of the act revising our
school laws specities certain
qualifications in place of the ex
amination as heretofore. These
qualifications are four in number:
1. Three years experence in
teaching, one year of which shall
have been in Georgia, and the
possession of a first grade license.
Or
2. A diploma from a reputa
ble college or Normal school. Or
3. Five years experience in
actual school supervision. Or
4. An approved examination
before the State Board of Educa
tion as to qualification.
As heretofore candidates must
be residents of the county in
which they offer ior election and
must be persons of good moral
character.
County Boards of education
must first pass upon the qualifi
cations of the candidates and
their conclusion must then be for
warded to the State Department
of Education for final decision as
to eligibility. The State Board of
Education will have another meet
ing about the middle of Novem
ber.
In order that there may be no
question about fairness and justice
to all, I suggest the following
course of precedure:
That the County Borrd of Edu
cation, through its president,
make announcement in at least
two issues of the County Press
that it will meet in November for
the purpose of passing on the
qualifications and eligibility of
candidates desiring to make the
race for County Superintendent
of schools. As soon as this meet
ing has been held, send the action
of the Board at once to me and
final decision as to eligibility will
be taken here as soon thereafter
as possible.
I send you, under seperate
cover, a copy of 1911 “School
Laws.”
Truly yours,
M. L. Brittain,
State Supt. of Schools.
In obedience to the above in
structions, the County Board of
Education will meet at the office
of the County School Commis
sioner on Saturday the 4th day of
November, 1911, for the purpose
of passing on the qualifications of
candidates.
T .J. Browm, President of
of the Board of Education of
Henry County.
