At this very time they were encamped about the city. But Belshazzar was intent on his self gratification. In this he was in accord with the courtiers, all of whom should have been alert to drive back the invading army. As an expression of their indiffer ence a royal banquet was arranged, and it was participated" in by 1,000 lars, wdth their wives and concubines. When the brain of the king ceased to function normally as its action was distorted by alcohol, always a poison, he tried to think of some excess in ri baldry that would surpasse the last occasion. Then he ordered that the gold and silver vessels be brought, which had been taken as booty when the temple at Jerusalem had been de stroyed about 49 years before. These were filled with wine and the already intoxicated crowd was invited to drink therefrom as they followed the kingr’s example. It would be hard to think up a grosser act of flagrant im piety. Revelry broke loose in wilder manner than ever. Sobering came suddenly, however, as in consternation they saw what ap peared like just a man’s hand writing on the wall. When none could interpret the meaning, the wise men and ma gicians were called in. They, too, were helpless, though the king promised great wealth for the meaning of those three words. In this plight the queen, possibly the' widow of Nebuchadnez- zar,reminds that Daniel had been able to grive the meaning of dreams, and once when the kings could not even recall the dream itself. Daniel is summoned. It is interest ing to note that he was not participat ing in the licentiously wild banquet. Not for the sake of the reward but as the spokesman-, of God he will an nounce the interpretation, though it will not be pleasing to the great au dience assembled. It is of value to know various languages but it is of decidedly greater importance to un derstand the langruage of God in what ever tongue the utterance may be giv en. Our Great Teacher is always seek ing to speak to his children through the very routine of life as well as by special approaches. Three words stood out on the plas ter. They referred to time, weights and measures. The interpretation in dicated utter failure of Belshazzar’s rule. Thie Smart NUNN-BUSH Ankle Fashioned Oxfords for Men The friends of Mrs. Charles C.
