St. Louis Argus

ENTIRE TEN MILLION MUST GO BEFORE BOARDS AT ONCE SO OFFICIALS CAN STABILIZE CONDITIONS. 7000 NEGROES AFFECTED IN ST. LOUIS. All men between the ages of 21 and 31, who were registered last June must now go before the war examining board. This is the latest order from Secretary Baker and does not necessarily mean that they are to be drafted into the army, but that the government wants a complete record of every man within the draft age available for service. The order means that the entire 76,139 in St. Louis must go before the examining officials in the various wards and undergo the test, same as the drafted men have done. The call affects nearly 7,000 Negroes in St. Louis. Will Enlarge Camp Funston A recent order has been given to enlarge Camp Funston, Kansas, from 49,000 to 60,000 capacity. This will necessitate the erection of 100 additional buildings. No reason is given for the change of plans. Perhaps the government intends to train 10,000 Negroes from Missouri and the North, at the Kansas cantonment. So far, no provision has been made for the 70,000 Colored men drafted last July. Race Men Pass Away Baltimore, Md., Sept. 6.—Harry S. Cummins, senior member of the City Council and prominent Race leader, died here today.

The St. Louis Argus LINCOLN SCHOOL OPENED FOR THE COLORED PUPILS The Board of Education has been compelled to open another school for Colored pupils, as was predicted exclusively in the St. Louis Argus two weeks ago. Owing to the congested conditions in certain districts, the Lincoln School, at 23d and Eugenia streets, was formally opened last Monday with Prof. M. J. Gilliam, principal. This is a promotion for Prof. Gilliam, who was a teacher at Sumner High. He says he has the finest corps of teachers in the city. Mr. M. H. Bradshaw was also transferred from Sumner High and promoted to head janitor of the new school. Ten teachers and six hundred and eighty-two children are enrolled. The school is already overcrowded the first week and more are expected. It looks as though the School Board will be compelled to make some other immediate arrangements for taking care of the children. Bishop Carter Raises $14,000 For Education and Mission In an education and mission convo- cation here this week, held at Texas College, Bishop E. A. Carter of the Colored M. E. Church, set a high record by raising $14,000 in cash. Bishop Carter is making an enviable record as a financier among Negro bishops. He is one of the most brilliant, digni- fied and progressive churemen of the country. Editor J. Arthur Hamlett of Jackson, Tenn., addressed the convo- cation on Thursday. It was a great meeting and accomplished much for the war. Cascade Studio Misrepresented The manager of the Cascade Studio, 4327 West Belle, wishes to announce for the benefit of those who have been mailed that the article which appeared in one of the papers in July was wrong. Through the excitement in the neighborhood at that time this address was taken by mistake. Bancing as usual every Wednesday evening.

Ladies 10c, gentlemen 15c. S. Shotwell, instructor; Smith-White, managers. METROPOLITAN NOTES Sunday Sept. 16th, was the occasion of the laying of the corner stone at the new Y. M. C. A., and it was hardly expected that the churches would have the regular number at the services. Despite this fact the church was filled at both morning and evening services. The pastor Rev. B. G. Shaw preached a wonderful sermon on the work of the Holy Ghost. This is the beginning of a series of sermons dealing with different aspects of the Holy Spirit, to be preached every Sunday morning and night for some time. All are invited to hear these sermons. One of the novel features of the service on Sunday, was the presence upon the altar of a miniature coal bin, into which each member and friend was asked to contribute at least 3 bushels of coal, or its equivalent 51 cents. Over $150 was the result of the first day's visit of the coal bin, and is to be continued until next Sunday. The different clubs in the church are booming, each trying to see who can do the most for the church by raising the largest amount of money; to continue the institutional work. The Christian Endeavor is doing nicely, and is desirous of all friends taking a part with us. Topic for discussion is, resolved that, confidence gives one greater power than money. The different departments in the church are doing nicely and are moving together like clock work, in the work their hands find to do in the uplift and upbuilding of their much beloved church. BETHEL A. M. E. CHURCH Special services will be held at Bethle el A. M. E. Chrych, Wollong Station, Mo., Sunday, September 23, at 11 a. m. Dr. W. B. Johnson will preach at 3 p. m. A cordial invitation is extended to all For high class printing on the shortest notice, try the Argus Print, 2341 Market St. ST. LOUIS, MO., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1917. FORT DES MOINES CAMP EXTENDED THIRTY DAYS FAILURE TO COMMISSION MEN AT END OF REGULAR COURSE CAUSES MUCH DISAPPOINT- MENT. NO CAUSE GIVEN MANY HAVE TO RESIGN. Many families, relatives and friends of the men now at the Officers' Training Camp at Fort Des Moines were disappointed last week when telegrams and special delivery letters rushed in stating that fathers, sons, brothers and sweethearts would not be home Sept. 15, as at first expected, but would continue in camp 30 days longer. The extension of the camp has been a matter of much discussion, not only among outsiders, but the men themselves. No one, so far, has been able to determine the real cause, but the boys are working zealously and looking forward to complete the next four weeks work with the same vim that they completed the required three months. The camp is short of some of its best men. Because of business and pressing affairs at home, some were compelled to tender their resignations. It is stated that John R. Pinkett, a teacher of Sumner High, who was recommended for captaincy had to yield his commission and return home because of urgent business. Mr. Pinkett, however, left foot prints which show that the Negro, if given a chance will measure arms with any other race. Messrs. Mosby and Watkins returned to St. Louis last Saturday on short leaves of absence. BOYS OF THE TWENTY-FOURTH INFANTRY LONGHOME The soldiers belonging to the 24th Infantry, Colored, now stationed on the border at Douglas Ariaz, are lonesome and have requested the Argus to ask the girls of St. Louis and other places to write to them. Their names are Leester Freeman, Henry Hardy, Alfred Sparka, Flash Lawrence, Warley M. Swinton, Alfred Smiley, Earl Young, William Young, Scott Bradford, Lawson Hutchinson, J. W. Roberts, John W. Worden, all of Company G. 24th Infantry and Frank Andrews, Co. F, 24th Infantry. All letters should be addressed to their company and infantry in Douglas, Arizona. Medical Forum The St. Louis Medical Forum met Tuesday evening in the parlor of the New Bailey Sanitarium with a large attendance. Dr. J. Lester, who holds the chair of physiology in the Meharry Medical College, Nashville, Tenn., was guest and the principal speaker of the evening. He spoke upon "Medical Education," emphasizing the requirements, triumphs, etc., of the men in the medical field. How the Colored physician is measuring arms with his competitors, President Wilson's recent compiment: if the Negro physician in the army and how Colored doctors stood highest in some of the late State Board tests and how our men are abreast with the times. This is a compliment to the race. A rising vote of thanks was tendered the doctor, and he was unanimously lected to honorary membership. At the regular monthly meeting the first of the month, the Forum will give a farewell banquet at Silver Grill to the doctors who are about to leave for war. MADAME C. J.

Next Meeting At Little Rock, Ark. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 11—Historians will write in glowing terms of the success and the many accomplishments of the thirty-seventh session of the National Baptist Convention, unincorporated, which closed in this city last night. Rev. E. P. Jones, D. D., of Vicksburg was unanimously re-elected as president to lead the Baptist host whose membership is claimed as approximately three million, much constructive work was done throughout the week. The delegation totaled more than two thousand. The secretary of the convention stated at the close of the session last night that the enrollment had totaled one thousand five hundred and eighty-seven. Every state in the Union except Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, was represented in the enrollment. Throughout the week there was one continual grind of the denominational mill on matters of vital importance, affecting the future of the Negro Baptists of the United States. The convention went on record as taking high ground for denominational and racial uplift. Advance steps were made in education. Some of the interesting features of this session were the attification of the purchase of the theological seminary site, located in Nashville, Tenn., valued at one hundred thousand dollars, which was reported by the Educational Board; the moving of the headquarters of the Educational Board to Nashville and the reestablishment of the Foreign Mission Board headquarters at Louisville, Ky. The convention voted unanimously, to hold its 1918 session next September at Little Rock, Ark. Fifteen thousand dollars in cash and subscriptions were aired. FLOWER SERVICE The Christian Spiritualist Church, 2727 Lawton Ave., will hold their annual service in the interest of the building fund, the third Friday in this month. All are invited. J. 8. Weatherford, Rector; M. Owens, Secretary. ST. PAUL A. M. E. CHURCH Sunday was a delightful day and the congregation as usual was inspiriring. The theme of Dr. Johnson's discovery was "The Singer and his Instrument." This was quite a treat to all who were fortunate to hear him. So vividly were the authors of ancient and modern hymns explained together with their ordeals, until one almost felt like singing alone was sufficient to secure salvation. Dr. Johnson has a wonderful memory and his manner of expressing himself is all that St. Paul or any other congregation could hope for and all he is asking is that each member do his or her full duty. Sunday night he filled the pulpit again and at the close of twenty or thirty minutes talk several united with the church. The members of the church are to be congratulated on the way they are working to assist the pastor in his dollar money report. Don't forget the 21st anniversary of Stewardess Board No. 1 Friday and Saturday night Sept. 27th and 28th; admission 10 cents and special sermon Sunday at 3 P. M., Sept. 30th. Special invitation to strangers for all services LANE TABERNACLE EPWORTH LEAGUE The young people of Lane Tabernacle are putting forth every effort to make the work of the Epworth League a success. An enjoyable meeting was held last Sunday evening with Miss Myrue Cope and Mrs. Annie Webb, secretary, as leaders. Everyone seemed to have enjoyed the ten minute song service before the program. The league is in session from 6:30 to 8 p. m. The Budget, of which Mrs. Webb is editor, and Misses Bernice Bronaugh and Ethel Copeland, reporters, is expected to add much interest to the meetings. The reporters collect news of the progress, etc., of the young people and it is read in the meetings on Sundays. Names of persons appointed to lead each Sunday will be published in this paper in Lane Tabernacle Church news. Members are expected to watch for their names which will be published two weeks prior to serving, in order to give them time for preparation. Miss Susie Jackson will be the leader Sunday, September 30. Next Sunday the subject, "My Favorite Hymn and Why" will be lead by the president. IMMENSE CROWD AT THE CORNER STONE LAYING City Bars Traffic From Streets Adjacent To New Y. M. C. A. Building and More Than Ten Thousand Persons Attended Historical Ceremonies Last Sunday. Wonderful Demonstration Of Unity and Co-operation. Various Kinds of Organizations In Impressive Parade. Days Collection Passes $2,000 Mark. Never before in the history of the Colored people of St. Louis, have so many persons assembled at one place, as was the case last Sunday when thousands attended the laying of the corner stone of the new Y. M. C. A. Building at Ewing and Pane. Although the location is on a popular automobile thoroughfare, the streets were lost to vehicles, by order of the City Street Department, for a block each way from the scene of the ceremonies. Within the enclosure stood more than en thousand persons. Only a small per cent of the big gathering were able to witness the proceedings, but the big throng stood, some for hours, patiently waiting to be told that, "The Corner Stone Has Been Laid," that another epoch in the advancement of Colored people has been written in history. It was distinctively a progressive gathering and there was a sincerity evidences that revealed character of unknown depth. This great throng was not attracted by curiosity; that was patent, facial co-operation was the motive and the demonstration of unity was an inspiration. The parade was magnificent, with its many bands, its pomp and splendor, it was a spectacle. Its real beauty, however, was in the spirit of the event. Old men, bent and greedy from years of struggle for the race marched, many of them for the last time, in onor of another notch of victory in their lives; while little children joyfully followed to enjoy the privileges o dearly won. Every Fraternal Organization was represented and almost every church in the city was represented by its pastor and members of its congregation and like one man the pastors of the churches combined to support the movement which is destined to mean much for the men and boys of St. Louis. All of the Fraternal Organizations were out in full and were represented in a number of the instances by their Grand Officers. The Masons had in line the best turn out ever seen in the city of St. Louis. In the working up of this demonstration on the art of the Masons, I. H. Bradbury Junior Grand Warden, took the initial live and his endeavors were met by a record response on the part of the Masons of the city and of the state. The stone was laid by the Grand Lodge of A. F. and A. M. The following prominent Masons assisted Grand Master W. W. Fields of Cameron, Mo.: Crittenden Clark, D. D. G., St. Louis, Earnest Boone, S. G. W., L. H. Bradbury, J. G. W., St. Louis, G. W. Love, G. S. Kansas City, E. J. Cooper, G. L., E. J. Lacy, G. M., J. L. Henderson, D. D. G. M., Thos. G. McCampbell, G. C., M. G. Moseley, K. E. G. C. K. T., A. R. Chinn, P. G. M., Nelson C. Crews, P. G. M., A. R. Bohop, D. D., J. T. Cannon, G. R. John G. Pettiford and Henry H. Jones. The program was a classic and was carried out to the letter. Mr J. W. Priston, President of the St. Louis, Y. J. C. A. presided. The opening prayer was made by Rev. B. G. Shaw, Pastor Metropolitan A. M. E. Zion Church. The opening address was made by Mr. Thilumon Bevis, General Secretary St. Louis Y. M. C. A. Hon. Nelson C. Crews, of Kansas City, Mo., who was introduced by Hon. A. W. Lloyd, of St. Louis, made the closing address. The offering appeal was made by Mr. Frank L. Williams, Chairman of the nine St. Dept. Y. M. C. A. The closing prayer was made by Dr. P. W. Dunnavant, Pastor of Leonard Ave. Baptist Church. The singing was lead by Mr. Gerald Tyler. The offering for the day passed the $2,000 mark. PRICE 5 GENTS CROWD CORNER LAYING From Streets Adjacent C.

FANS NOW CONCEDE 'UMPS' RIGHT TO LIVE, SAYS BYRON Baseball Is Getting Better and So Is the Public, in the Opinion of Big League Acbiter. It is seldom that anyone listens to an umpire except the ball players, and they only listen because they have to. Umpire Bill Byron recently-said something concerning baseball which shows that umpires are human and can see more good than bad in the game and in the fans. "Baseball is getting better, and so is the public," he said. "The fans are by no means so unreasonable now as they used to be when I started brushing off the home-plate. In fact, there would be comparatively little trouble in the big league towns if the players were not all the time trying to alibi themselves for poor work by blaming 10 Umpire "Bill" Byron. the umpire. Until a fan sees a player kick on a decision, he usually is satisfied to take the umpire's verdict without question, but, of course, when one of the home pets makes a roar, that's something else. "Gradually the fellow who pays to see baseball is beginning to realize that the umpire cares nothing for the result of the game or a pennant race, and is out there to call them as he sees them. "We all make mistakes, of course, but we aren't out to rob anybody, you can bet on that. All we ask is that the ball players lay off trying to pass the buck to us every time they strike out or make a bad play, and we will trust to the fans at least to respect our rights to live." ```markdown ``` Results of the Slaughter System it find an agent, shampoo il, for 50 cents and 3 c to increase her income sh ency at this time will be give these goods will be given ra St. Louis agent, shampoo your own hair cents and 3 cents for postage her income should take up our time will be given reduced rates. will be given rates.

P. on whom (because of close proximity) has devolved the labor of giving relief, prosecuting claims for losses and detecting and prosecuting the criminals in the matter of the barbarous rioting and massacres at East St. Louis, Ill., in the first week of July, 1917, here makes a general appeal for funds that are necessary to the accomplishment of its work. The future safety of the Colored people throughout the United States depends upon the nation being taught that arrest, trial, conviction and punishment shall be the portion of those who assail persons because they are Colored, as surely as such assault is made. Colored people alone can give this lesson. We are giving it now and it shall be given most thoroughly; but we must have the help we are here asking for. To this date, $1,067.00 has been contributed for this purpose and $648.00 has been expended. Attorneys, detectives and court fees and other expense create need for a total of $5,000.00. We publish fortnightly, in available newspapers, reports of all money received and all expenditures and we will furnish interested persons with copies of these reports on request. We earnestly ask prompt, general response to this appeal and we pledge exhaustive effort for redress and correction. Send all contributions by check, registered letter or money order to Wm. H. Huffman, Treasurer, Pythian Temple, 3137 Pine Street St. Louis, Mo. Very truly yours for the peace and security of law-observing American Citizenship, ST.

In their report they stated that without fear or favor they had done their work. That the Jury was sincere is borne out by the fact that the Mayor of East St. Louis and- his . secretary were among the indicted. : Of course, indicting is not convicting, and<there are many legal entanglements and technicalities between the two that may stép in and defeat justice. ~ The task, the hard task has just begun when all the indictments are in. To maintain this con- fidence of the public, the officers of the law and the good citizens of the county who will make up the Petit Jury, which will try the eases, must do their duty with without fear or favor. : PARLEYING OVER THE NEGRO 2 After spending three months at the training Camp at Fort Desmoines the Colored boys theught that those of their number who “made good’ would receive their commissions as did the white boys at the other training camps. Believing as all “good citizens should, in the word of the government, the wives, chil- dren and sweethearts of the men at Fort Des Moines had looked forward for the return ef their love ones on or about the 15th of this month. The men too, were expecting their commissions from the President because they had fulfilled or completed the pre- scribed course. Just why the commissions were not forth coming is a question of speculation even among those who are supposed to be well in- formed, but the meh have been required to spend another mont h at the training camp. Not because they are inefficient, or because they have not made proficiency in their work, nor <acause their general deportment has not been up to the standard. _ The com- manding officer has stated more than once, that those Colored men who are in training there are the finest set, physically. and morally that he eversaw. Then why are they required to do more than any other man? Some have said that the men would never receive a commission, while others said that only a very few if any would receive them. All of this has a tendency to dis- courage the men, many of whom have resigned, and returned to their homes. ‘ It has been stated that the government did not know what to do with the Negro as a soldier or an officer. Let. us suggest — Treat Him Right. ~-When the Negro is called upon to defend this country against the saps is expected to take his life in his hand. Ne intrigues will ‘he know, Nothing but loyalty will fill his heart. Then why keep him guessing? Why keep him in suspense? © Why not give hima squaredeal? Why not “play the cards upen the top of the table?” This is no time for parleying. If we are going into the war to fight, to sacrifice millions of lives, that. humaa rights may’ be respected; surely American soil is the place where the first battle ‘should be pitched. z rere re fr A timely suggestion to the National Association for the Ad- vancement of Colored People, is to institute a suit against New- ton D. Baker, Secretary of War, tecompel him to.stop discrimi- mation in the Army and Navy on account of race and color. _If legal action is necessary to compel him to suppert the constitution of the United States, then we believe it should be invoked. : THE DRAFTED MEN Over a thousand drafted men and their friends paraded the streets of St. Louis Wednesday night in henor of those who were about to depart for their training Camps. Cheers and tears, whoops and applauds greeted them almost all along the line of march. But one thing. that was noticeable was, the Colored people gave very little attention to the affair.

SUTCLIFFE Of the Extension Department, Moody Bible Institute, Chicago TEXT-Then I proclaimed a fast . . . that we might afflict ourselves before God to seek of Him a right way. -Esra 521. Perhaps today as never before the Christian needs to be instructed by God as to the right way. There are three great reasons why divine guidance is needed. PETER H. I. Because of what we are by nature. First of all we are ignorant. It is unpopular, but true that "it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." So said Jeremiah long years ago. And history shows all too dearly that the way that seems right to a man ends in death and disaster. There is no way of knowing what will take place on the morgow or even within the next hour. An explorer or a tourist going into a strange unknown country will want guidance as to what lies before him. We take much care in securing all the information we can before starting into new territory. Many think it necessary to prepare for passing to the unknown land beyond the grave, but after all each new day brings such dangers and such opportunities that to be ready for them needs to have the feet guided into the right way. Then by nature man is so self-willed and self-sufficient he needs a higher intelligence than his own to guide him. This is humiliating but again history tells the truth. Ever since Caln in his self-will chose the wrong way it has been true that "the way of a man is forward and strange" as the Proverb says. Moses knew something of this when he declared in his last word to the people in Deut. 36:20. "I know that after my death ye will utterly turn aside from the way and evil will befall you." Again we are so prone to wander from the right way. As the prophet says, "All we like sheep have turned everyone to his own way." Like sheep we wander, go astray and without sense keep on going further and further astray. II. Because of the Character of the Way Before Us. It is a difficult way for the Christian in these times. Bogs and mire are on either side and the way daily grows narrower. The master himself warns us in Matt. 7:13, 14, that "wide is the gate and broad the way that leadeth to destruction, and strait is the gate and narrow the way which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it." So difficult is the way before the Christian, beset by the snares, pitfalls and straps of Satan, and so strewn with the allurements and attractions of the world, that left to himself he would surely come to destruction. He needs always the guidance of the one who alone, knows all the difficulties and how to pass them. Not only difficult, but dangerous is the way. III. Because of What the Lord is as III. Because of What the Lord is as Guide. He knows all the way that lies untried and unknown before the Christian's feet. He is omniscient. It was the Lord, not Moses, who led the people of Israel of old, and it is the Lord who would guide his people in safety today. A story is told of a little boy from which we all may learn. During a storm a mother sought to rescue a family of six children. As the water burst open the door of her home, she tied her baby on her shoulder and took a boy of six in her arms. To her fourteen-year-old daughter she said, "you must carry one child." "Which one," said the girl. The mother looked at the two, one of four, one of two, unable to choose. Ben, her boy of eleven, said, "Ma, I'll take the little one." "No, my boy, you can't." "I know I can't," said Ben, "but Jesus can." "The water is too deep for you," the dispairing mother said. "It's deep for true," answered the boy, "but Jesus is a tall man." They started, the mother calling to her children, but soon Ben ceased to answer. The mother and the others soon reached a place of safety. When the tide went down next day little Ben tramped to them and put his little charge into the mother's arms. Had he followed her the night before he would soon have been beyond his depth. But unconsciously he had turned aside and followed a bank that years before had marked a boundary. The water was to his waist, and a step or two on either side would have been fatal. And he can keep the Christian in the way as well as put him on it. He is the Almighty one. One day is no harder for him than another. Though there be days black with discourage-ment and foreboding and care, he knows it all and can keep within the narrow way that leads to life and light and joy. A story is told of an Alpine guide who put out his hand for a traveler to step up by. When the traveler hesitated the guide said, "this hand never lost a man." To all who will listen our guide says, "I will hold thy right hand saying, fear thou eot." INTERNATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL (BY REV. P. B. FITZWATER, D. D. Teacher of English Bible in the Moody Bible Institute of Chicago.) (Copyright, 1911, Western Newspaper Union) LESSON FOR SEPTEMBER 23 DANIEL IN THE DEN OF LIONS. LESSON TEXT—Daniel 6. GOLDEN TEXT—The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them—Psalms 34:7. I. Daniel the Prime Minister of the Medo-Persian Empire (vv. 1-3). Daniel's sterling worth brought him to the front and kept him there. The new king was quick to discern his merits and to give them recognition by placing him at the head of affairs in his kingdom. II. An Occasion Sought Against Daniel (vv. 4-9). (1) The Reason of -Envy. To have this foreigner placed over them aroused the jealousy of the presidents and princes of the empire, so they set about to have him removed. The presence of envy shows inferiority. One never envies those below him. It is hard to forgive those who have outstripped us and left us behind in the race of life. (2) The Failure (v. 4). Danlef's official record was biameless. Not even an error could be found of which they could accuse him. Though he was without fault he had to suffer. Those who excel in any line are sure to suffer in some way. It is true in business, the home, the school, politics and religion. (3) The Wicked Piot (vv. 5-9). Not being able to find any fault, they trumped up a charge against him on the ground of his foreign religion. They were not careful about the method employed, just so their end was attained. III. Daniel's Noble Confession (vv. 10-13). Though Daniel knew that the wicked decree was signed, he knelt before God three times a day as usual. He went quietly about his affairs, attended to his regular devotions, because he trusted God. There is always a marked silence about heroism. 'Weak men bluster, but strong men have little to say. Daniel continued his usual habit of prayer, even though it was a violation of the civil law, because he knew that God's law was first. When the laws of earth conflict with the laws of heaven there is but one thing to do; that is, to obey God rather than man. IV. The Foolish Decree Executed. (vv. 14-17). The king was greatly displeased with himself (v. 14) and diligently sought to deliver Daniel, but he was helpless (v. 15). The proud ruler was a slave. Laws which changa not are self-condemnatory, foolish, positively wicked. The king was weak for fear of others. The king was weak for fear of others. The king was cast into the den of lions (v. 16) and a double seal placed upon the den (v. 17). They were not content with the king's seal alone, which shows that one rascal will not trust another. The king's words, "Thy God, whom thou servest continually, he" will deliver thee," to Daniel were a poor excuse, but they were the best that he could offer to his conscience. V. Daniel Delivered (vv. 18-23). (1) The King's Sleepless Night (v. 18). Doubtless Daniel was more comfortable in the den of lions than the king in his palace. His quietude is a picture of the safety and peace which are the portion of those who trust God and do his will. This is a sample of what faith can do. "Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on thee, because he trusteth thee." (2) The King's Question (v. 20). In the morning the king called to Daniel in the den of lions saying, "Is thy God able?" This is always the question of the unbelieving heart. The believing heart says, "Our God is able." (3) Daniel's Answer (v. 22). "My God has sent his angel." Angels are God's ministering spirits. "The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them." (Psalms 34:7.) Many times no daught our lives are preserved because we are guarded by God's angels. Not even a sparrow falls to the ground without the Father, and the very hairs of our heeds are numbered, so we ought to expect the mouths of the ilions to be shut against us. (4) Daniel Removed From the Den (v. 23). There was no manner of hurt upon him. The reason was that "he believed in his God." The same reason is why the garments and hair of his companions were not even singed. VI. Doom of Daniel's Accusers (v. 24). They were cast into the den of lions "and the lions cast into the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came at the bottom of the den." Daniel's God to Be Feared. VII. Darius' Decree (vv. 25-27). He decreed that in all parts of his kingdom men of all peoples and tongues should tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. VIII. Daniel's Prosperity (v. 28). Though Daniel's enemies perish, he goes higher and higher in the kingdom, even continuing into the reign of Cyrus. In all our trials and tests we should not be moved, for there is a righteous and just God in heaven, and nothing can occur without him. Man's schemes shall even continue to praise him.
