The preceding verse probably does not mean that they literally fasted for an entire fortnight, but that they had taken only snatches of food and were in an exhausted conâ€" dition.

With- out the practical experience of these sailors, the manoeuvring, describ- ed later, would have been impos- sible. 30. Lay out anchors from the foreâ€" shipâ€"This would secure the ship fore as well as aft.

Another test came tenfold in its intensity and he chose a, horrible death in the lions’ den rather than renounce his allegiance to Jeho- vah and the principles for which he had stood. In spirit he said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” God saw it and reâ€" warded him. Out of his struggles and testing time he rose in glorious triumph. with the decision to remain true to himself, to God and his high ideal. Lesson on Heroism Drawn From the Life of the Prophet Daniel. The, glamour of this prosvpect must have thoroughly tested him, but the heroic element asserted itself, and MERE UEUEAEE IS NEEDED In him was that heroic element much needed toâ€"day. He was at a. crisis. As a prisoner in a far away lund two courses lay before him. One promised to make him lead a captive’s life, while the other, on the condition that he smother his conscience and “go with the crowd,” offered him freedom and the splendors of the king’s court. But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank. ~â€"Daniel i. 8.

Desiring to save I’auleaul’s courage and resourcefulness, as well as his piety, could not fail to have impressed all on board the ship. 41. Lumby says (Cambridge Bible): “The little island of Sal‘ monetta forms with the Maltese coast near Saint Paul’s Bay exact- ly such a position as here describâ€" ed. From the sea it appears as though the land were continuous, and the current between the island and the mainland (of Malta) is only seen on nearer approach. _ This current has raised a mudbank where its force is broken by the opâ€" posing sea, and into this bank was the ship driven.” 42.

Casting off the anchors â€"~ In beachng a vessel, lightness of weight. would count for a. great deal. This accounts for the throw ing over of grain and anchors. point in the narrative is most na- tural. It would be important to both the captain and the centurion to know precisely how many lives they were accountable for. The number is not excessive, though large. There were about six hun- dred on the vessel on which Jose- phus says he was wrecked. ‘ 39. Knew not the landeeing close to the shore, and the weather being stormy, even the experienc- ed sailors might be deceived about the island of Malta, which. to many 9f them, was, undoubtedly, famil- 1am. Daniel was first and last-a religi- ous man with a heart as loyal and true as steel. Success as the world Counts it was nothing with him when pitted against success as 10d counts it. The times call for men of such heroism. Only by such can our social and moral life be rescued from present decay and disintegraâ€" tion. The man of true heroism does not forget that loyalty to one’sl convic- tions is an essential element in a'll success. The man who smothers his conscience must sooner or later go down in defeat. keeps faith in the ultimate triumph of right principles. Such a man keeps his hands clean, his heart pure and his moral and spiritual vision undimmed. With faith in God and the triumph of His truth, he stands by right principles, fol- lows clean methods, and when the world calls him foolish he goes straight ahead and sooner or later makes for himself a place of honor and trust.

Around it cluster the most pleasing recollections of their childhood and early manhood and womanhood. It was there that the presnnt Queen of Spain and her brother Maurice were born. It is an interesting fact to remember that until the Queen of Spain was born there had not been a royal birth in Scotland for nearly 300 years~uot, in fact, since Charles I. was born at Dunfermline in 1600.

At times I had violent palpation of the heart and short: I‘ESS of breath, finally I was corny pletely prostrated. I was so hag- gard that my friends hardly knew me, and I often thought my last hour had come. My sufferings would follow me into the region ’of: dreams with such distinctness that often times I would awaken shiver ing and shaking with sobs, and scarcely able to realize that I had been but dreaming.
