MEMORY VERSES—25, 28.
GOLDEN TEXT—"God shall bring ev
ery work Into Judgment, with every se
cret thing, whether It be good or whether
It be evil.”—Eccl. 11:14.
TIME—The event described belongs to !
the last years of the exile, B. C. 548.
whan Babylon was taksn by Cyrus and
his generals.
The decree of return, and the first re
turn, occurred a year or two later.
PLACE—Babylon the capital, enlarged,
beautified and fortified by Nebucbadnee- I
sar.
Under the great Nebuchadnecxar
Babylon rose in grandeur, power and
extent, till ft became tbe moet mag
nificent and beautiful city of anti
quity. In those day# Babylon was tbe
metropolis of tbe world, the center of
commerce, art and wisdom. The
wealth of tbe world poured into its
coffers. Babylon was the strongest
fortress in all ths world. Betahassar
was the acting king of Babylon at ths
time of thla lesson, while his father
rxanonicus waa nominal aim i«s»
king who lived and warred outside ot
the city.
Cyrus bad been advancing toward
Babylgg^He gained a decisive victory
over ( Nabeniaua, on hie way to the j
capital, and his army entered the city
without fighting, and peace waa pro
claimed. A portion of the city, prob
ably the citadel Including the royal

against his army* gnd on that night ,
Belshassar waa slain? It waa during
this week that Belshatser made a
magnificent banquet to encourage his
generals and princes in their struggle
with the Medo-P$rslan foe.
At hjs feast, therefore, Belshassar

r 4fibauchge, but partly of a coltt ‘
politician, whdfi amid the applause of
a thousand courtiers and army com
manders he ordered the sacred ves- ‘
gels of the Temple of Jerusalem to be
brought into the hall of feasting. Such
a scene would fill the hearts of the
wine-inflamed warriors and nobles to
overflowing with daring, and also |
bring a worthy occasion for the dl-1
ffind- interference to encourage his ,
people on the eve of their deliver
ance. ' *** ‘
In the midst of the carousal, the j
king saw the fingers of a man’s hand
wmmg strange worus, ieui;rs ui
and characters of fear," on the wall !
in the full blaze of the candlestick,
perhaps the great golden candlestick j
taken from the temple. There Is
something blood-curdling in the visi
bility of but a part of the hand and
Its busy writing.
Belshazzar, in his terror and horror,
summoned his wise men to declare
what the strange apparition and the
blazing letters meant, and promised
great rewards to the one who should
Interpret them; but all failed. Either
they could not make sense of the let- |
ters, or coulr’ not perceive whst mean- j
ing they ha
Then the queen mother, mother of
Belshazzar, came In and spoke of
Daniel as one who had shown great
gifts at interpretation to his grandfa
ther Nebuchadnezzar. It took place
before this boy king was born, and he, j
naturally, knew nothing about the ,
story. Daniel was sent for, and came
into the festival hall. He heard the j
king’s offer, and spurning It, spoke |
brave and true words which might j
easily cost him his life. He told the
story of Nebuchadnezzar's fall from
the height of pride, and accused him
of dishonoring the true God. Then he
Interpreted the message written on
the palace walls: "Thou art weighed
in the balances and found wanting.”
The want of religious restraints and
motives, exposes one undefended to
the powers of temptation. Belshazzar
would enrich the splendor of his feast
by the sacred goblets and dishes of
gold that Nebuchadnezzar had taken
from the temple at Jerusalem. They
were brought, and made to be Instru
ments for drunken revelry and lust,
and worship of idols, thus declaring
that the idols had given them the vic
tory over the God of the Jews.
The social power of the wine cup,
its connection with feasting, comrade
ship, hospitality, good cheer, is one of
Its most dangerous attractions. And
one of the chief defences against its
power lies in showing that good cheer,
fellowship, sociability, eating together.
may be enjoyed in the highest degree
where men “eat and drink and In
communion sweet quaff immortality
and joy,” without the fascination of
the wine cup.
Belshazzar lost his city and hit king
dom. So still by intemperance are
men continually throwing away the
kingdom God has prepared for them,
the kingdom of manhood, the kingdom
of aelf-control, the kingdom of the
world in which we live and of its laws ,
which we can compel to aid us in all
that is good.
The days of intemperance are num
bered when all the boys become total
abstainers. The wise young man seea
to it that the whole question of the
use of intoxicating liquors la weighed
In the balances of reason, of science,
of observation.
