On a journey in the country of an mfriendly people, in n locality noto'ionsly dangerous on ncconnt of high* vayinen, tbat danger emphasized by be sight of a man badly wounded and obbed of all valnables, most men would inrry along us fast as possible to a dace of safety.

Thus sa Nebuchadnezzar to Daniel's friends as 1 gavo them another chance for their live threatening them with death in tho flei furnace if they failed to worship the goh en image which ho had sot up. Ho he said to Daniel in connection with the do Inrntion and interpretation of tho forgo ten dream, "Of a truth it is that your Gc is a God of gods and a luord of kings (chapter ii, 47), but in his prido he ha evidently forgotten this, and now there no one so great in his estimation as hiu self The spirit of tho plain of Dura wt manifested on tho plain of Shinar (Get xi, 4), and long beforo it was seen in Caii It shall l:o fully fieen in tho lust days i tho anti-Christ nnrf hto ,n? vv/*??|M?UIUIIS ^LIHI xi, 3ti-33; II Thum. ti, 4; Rov. xili). 10-IS. "Our God whom wo servo Is abl to deliver us from the burning fiery fui mice, and He will deliver us out of thin hand, O king!" So they did not wish second trial, for their purpose was liri that they would not bow down to his god nor to his golden image whieh he had sc up, and they had no euro ;.s to const quences. What splendid confidence i God 1 What grand indifference to man o his power! They knew and practiced Pi Ixll, 5; xxvil, 0.

The fury cf the king, who knev no cr.o greater than himself, went fortl against them, and the most mighty mei In his army l>ound them and cast then into the fiery furnace, which was heatei seven times more than ordinarily. Th king lias now done his worst, and thos who dared to stand against hint have, a ho thinks, perished The mighty mei who cast them into the furnace died by i spark (see margin) from the furnace, for i Is a terriblo thing to touch a child of God It is like touching the apple of His eyi (Zcch. ii, 8). Then shall all perish fron before Him who dare to stand agains Hint.

This was something ;renter than ho knew anything about, nd tho fourth person in tho furnaco had oiuething strangely supernatural about dm. Notice how tho ilro wrought upon ho three men; it only burned their bonds ,ud set them free to walk with God. That s just what fiery trials do for believers. 2U "Ye servants of the Most High God, oine fortli and conic hither." Thus said he king to tho men against whom ho had i littlo before boon so furious.

Doyle. Topic.?A friend in need.?Lul:c x, 5W-U7. Friendship is a great ln>on to mankind. The value of trne friendship is o. inestimable. It is a Messed thing to :t, have a friend in whom we can abso;?l lntely trnst, who knows ns altogether, onr failings and onr weaknesses, as well s our points of strength, and who, in c_ spite of all, is constant and unfailing, ltl cheering us in adversity, comforting us 10 in trouble, strengthening ns in wenks, ness, and not failing even to place be*y fore us our faults that we may he gnard' ed against them. Such n friendship ennnot be too highly priz<d, and sucli a ? friend should be sought by eviry man Kj and woman. As early in life as possible ? the soul of every man and woman id should be knit to the soul of another in is an abiding friendship, as the souls of uoijiiimm una JJavitl. If it were so unci buninn friendships were never neglected or betrayed, how uiuny clouds wonld be lifted from the dark and dreary days of life! A friend in need is illustrated in the topical reference by tho good Samaritan. Though the relation between the Samaritan und the man who fell among thieves was not strictly what we call friendship, yet it does set forth the characteristics of a tine friendship. 1. It was friendship in adversity. The good Samaritan was a friend in need, und only a friend in need is a friend indeed. Tocall a relation friendship that exists only when the svm shines and disappears with the coming of the clouds is a misnomer. Snch a re, lation is not friendship. It is but a base imitation. "Trno friends wait to be summoned in tlie time of prosperity, but in trouble they come and offer their help." !3. It was a sympathizing friendship. The Samaritan was a sympathizing friend. Ho was touched to the heart by tho needs of the man in trouble. The prieHt and Lovite felt no such sympathy. They were not friends. 8. It was a helpful friendship. The Samaritan was practical in his sympathy. Ho relieved tha man's wants and provided for his future welfare. A friend in need must be n practical friend. 4. It was a continued friendship. The future well being of the man in trouble was provided for, and undoubtedly the denuinrlu fr.v , ? ..., .... om.li ?jiK??nrjiiian J were met, or won Id have been had tlio , case been real. True friendship mnst bo . continued, constant, unchangeable, i Jeans Christ alone fulfills the requirements of an ideal, perfect Friend. Ho is a Friend that sticketu closer than a 1 brother. He is a Friend in need, a sympathizing, helpful, constant, unchangeable Friend. No ono should be ir need be without the friendship of Christ Life without Christ's friendship is like the sky without the sun. i Bible Readings. ?

The charge of sensationalism is not always the worst that may be urged. Sensationalism has its better side. The sensationalist may be a charlatan, and 1 then he may be a prophet of God. Elijah was a sensationalist. There is no more dramatic incident in all history tlinn the sceno on Mount Cannel. John [ tho Baptist was a sensationalist, and bo was Paul. They were the voices of ' thunder from a cloudless sky. Moses was n sensationalist. His interviews 1 with Pharaoh were a series of sensa ; tionol demonstration. Such, too, was t Joseph. Sanctified sensationalism is . never a studied effect, hut always the [ unusual. Earnestness breaks in upon the humdrum world and creates a sen' sntion. Honornble sensation is an effect, but never a cause. ? Presbyterian Jpuy^ ' naL Secret I'nnlli, l Our "secret faults" may be hid from . our own eyes as well as from the eyes of nil others but God.

We can be saved, cleansed, ' sanctified wholly?not only "up to } what we know," but also up to what j we do not know and may never know, 1 unless God at somo time may show us a from how great "secret faults" and consequent perils He had delivered us. ?Christian Standard. a It Never I'a IN.
