JUNIOR TOPIC—A Boy Who Obeyes INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC—Preparing for a Life Work. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC—Character and Career of Daniel 1. Daniel in Captivity (1:1:4). His captivity took place in the third year of Jehulakim's reign by Nehu chadnezzar, King of Babylon. While a tender youth, he was torn from home tides and made a captive in a foreign land to be trained for court service. 2. Daniel in Training (1:5:20). In order to be of the largest service in the kingdom, it was necessary that he be taught to love the king and nation and to be detached from his own people and religion. 3. Daily portion of the king's meal and drink appointed (v. 15). (1) To gain the good will.7 Dante Such recognition would encourage him to give himself to the king's service. (2) To supply the proper food for his physical and intellectual growth. 2. His name changed (v. 7). He was named Bolteshuzzar. The object in this change was the obliteration of national and religious connections, and his identification with the Bubylonian nation. Daniel means God is my judge. Bolteshuzzar means Bel's Prince. 8 Daniel's purpose of heart (v. 8) Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's meat and wine. He requested to be tested for ten days with the food which the law of his God allowed agreeing to abide by the results. 4. Daniels reward (v. 15, 20). (1) Physical health (v. 15). The king's meat and wine would have been palatable, but to have partaken would have violated his conscience. (2) Mental growth (vv. 17-20). He was found to be ten times wiser than the magician and astrologers. (3) Socially (v. 19). He was not only next to the king, but president of the college of wise men and prime minister of the empire, continuing through several dynasties (v. 21). (4) Spiritual (v. 17). God revealed to him Nebuchadnezzar's dream and gave visions stretching across the centuries. The secret of Daniels success was: a. Conscientiousness. b. Loyalty to God. c. Decision of character. 2. Courteny. III. Daniel Interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's Dream (2:14-46). 1. The dream revealed (vv. 1435). 1. The dream revealed (vv. 1435). Nebuchadnezzar had a dream which made a tremendous impression on his mind but its content had been forgotten. He urgently demanded of the wise men that they make known the dream and its interpretation. Because of their failure to do so the king was furious and commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be slain. Daniel sought an interview with the king and oblained time. In answer to prayer, God gave to Daniel the content of the dream. He told the king that in his dream he had beheld a great image with a body of gold breast and arms of silver belly and thighs of brass, legs of iron and foot part of iron and ear of clay. He beheld this image smitten by a stone which became a great mountain. 2. The dream interpreted (vv 36-40). (1) The head of gold represented the Chaldean monarchy, with Nebu chadnezzar as its head (vv. 37, 38). (2) The breast and arms of silver represented the Medo Persian power (v. 39). (3) The belly and thighs of brass represented the Grecian empire under Alexander the Great (v. 39). (4) The legs of iron represented the Roman empire (vv. 40-47). (5) The stone cut out of the mountain (vv. 44, 45). This is the Kingdom of Heaven so graphically set forth in the New Testament. a. The stone is Christ (Isa 28:10; Matt. 21:42-44). b. When did the Stone strike? (b serve that the Impact upon this man was upon his feet. (v. 34). c. The Kingdom of Heaven is brought Into realization through a great catastrophe. Accepting Christ We urge men to accept Christ, to accept Him now, and they say, "Well, we will think about it." or "Yes. I know it ought to be attended to." Why, you wouldn't act that way five minutes about your health or your wife's health, or your business.—Dr. Multiple D. Babcock. Trust the Creator All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. Emerson. BY REV. J. W. HAYES. 613 Wabash Avenue SUNDAY, JULY 28, SUBJECT: "How the Church is Making Our Nation Better." TEACH: Matt. 13:51-53; Luke 4: 18, 19. The church is making our nation better by permeating society with the life of Christ. It is the salt of the earth, penetrating the entire social fabric. The church is God in the world, the pillar and ground of truth. It is God in Christ, seeking to reconcile the world unto Himself. Her curriculum is the ideals of Christ. Her influence as far as human feet have tread the soil. She has given to the world a standard of conduct and a program for the world's redeemed in the life of society is not only a revelation of the standard of living but an inspiration to strive to retain that standard. Our text compares the growth of the kingdom, which is the church with the mustard seed, which has a small but firm beginning but becomes a shelter and resting place for the fowls of the air. Again, the kingdom is compared with the heaven which is is noted for its power to permeate every particle of the loaf. The Gospel is the panacea of all ills. The poor may have it to enrich, the sick may have it to heal, the broken hearted may have it to bind uu, the blind may have it to give sight and the bound may have it to make free. THE CALL IS NOW SOUTHWESTERN ASSOCIATION: My Dear Brethren:— The time is fastly approaching for our annual meeting which convenes with Pilgrim Rest Baptist Church, Arkansas City, August 13-18, Rev. Stevens, Pastor. At this meeting we are asking that each church report every penny that is due, based on the constitutional requirement $1.25 for each member.. Each Auxiliary is credited with one-fifth of the amount sent in by the church. Each auxiliary, therefore, should help the church raise the church budget. Let each messenger be present at the opening and remain until the close of the Association. Brethren, come praying and prepared to make a definite contribution to the Cause. Yours in His Name, J. W. HAYES, Mod. KANSAS CITY NEWS PLEASANT GREEN BAPTIST CH. REV. GEO. McNEAL, PASTOR. We have not been heard from for some time, while we feel that this is our own paper of the State and The Official Organ, we should give our weekly news and better support. We want the public to know that Pleasant Green services were on a high plane Sunday. Our pastor, Rev. Geo. McNeal preached two able sermons, morning and evening. At morning his subject was, "Obedience;" at night, "Friendship and Love." We feel that he was at his best; a wonderful preacher and pastor as well as financier. We have just purchased $3000 worth of new pews to be installed next Sunday. We hope to have the home coming of all the members with $2.00 each; those who can't give the two, will give $1.00. NOTICE!!

GARDNER (Continued from last issue) The man who would seek to cast contempt upon scholarship, simply betrays his own ignorance and reveals his own sad need of the thing he professes to dispise. But great ps is the fact of scholarship it does not afford the highest definition of teh individual after all is said, it is an incident that does not constitute the vital essence of the soul.

What greater things than to cove the souls of men by golden tongued speech, to fire the hearts by words of burning eloquent? How the harp of the soul vibrates to the tones and well rounded phrases of the orator. How by speech the passion of men are stirred into fury as the bosom of the deen is lashed into tumultuous billows by the wind, or are soothed into calm as by the breath of fidd. In my mind's eye I see Paul standing before King Aghippa and with convincing eloquence, so moving the king, as to lead him to exclaim, "Almost thou persuade me to be a Christian;" and Festus to exclaim, "Paul, thou art beside thyself, much learning hath made thee mad." I see him in the presence of Felix, and with burning words, speaking of Felix, and with burning words, speaking of righteousness, temperance and judgment to come, and that too, with convining mighty power, as to cause the guilty ruler to tremble and turn pale. Paul was a fearless servant of our Lord and Master. The word servant is highest title that canbe given to a Christian.

Every Sunday School worker in Southeastern, should lift up his eyes and look on the field, for there is much work that can be, and must be done for the Master. This great task is calling for true and tried servants. It is calling for servants that are fully prepared to meet bravely the present day conditions in the churches. The Master well said.

Everything else was measured in terms of service. Now abideth faith, hope and love, these three, but the greatest of these is love. Some one might ask the question, why is love so great? Because it is the motive power lying behind truest, fullest, noblest service. Such service cannot be rendered through the promelling of logical faculty that lays down premises, and reaches the cold intellectual conclusion that it is right or best to serve. Love is something the mother at the cradle child, that keeps the fae to his loved ones, throws months and years toils, that holds the solo battle, with his face to ready to die, and that of his country.
