(Temperance 'Sun- _ day), Golden Test Eccl. 12, Verse 1. A great feast to a hou. sand--Everything about the 'ban- Quet'suggests Oriental magnifienice. Lhe palace in which it took place, odds | with its i immense halls, its columns, 18 tapestried walls, and its statues, was one of the wonders of the world, Before his princes and the rest Belshazzar (known by 'the Babylonian inscription as "the Crown Prince"), seated on a raised dais at the énd of the banquet chamber, and facing the guests at a separate table, drank wine. This was tho customary manner of con- cluding a feast, wine flowing freely, and everyone becoming intoxicat- ed in the spirit of wild revel. The unusual feature was' the prescuce of the king, inasmuch as he ordin- arilv banqueted in solitary state in his own private chamber, none be- ing present but the queen and at- tendants. 2. Tasted the wine--Gradually came under its powerful influence. Commanded to bring the . . vessels--See on Dan. 1. 2, Word Studies for September 10. The act was one of wild and irreverent folly. The well-known example and decrees of Nebuchadnezzar ought to have been a warning. Assuming that the feast was in honor of some Babylonian deity, there could hard- ly be conceived a more impious in- sult to Jehovah than this public profanation of the sacred vessels which had been seized in the holy temple. His father--We know that Bel- shazzar was the son of Nabunaid. Butt by marriage Nebuchadnezzar may have been his father-in-law, or his grandfather. In either of those cases the word father, according to Hebrew usage, would be pormis- sible. . Wives . . . concubines--The pres- cence, of women was not in keep- 'ing with anéient custom. In the Septuagint these words are omit- ted, as if there were an inexplicable impropriety. here. But there was nothing too rude or shocking in this feast. 3, 4. Drank in them--It was _- tural that lips "which ~ wantonly praised their heathen idols of overy description, from gold to stone should algo defile the holiest things 5. And"the king saw--It was pe- culiarly . fitting- that retribution should descend upon this heedless, riotous company in the same hour' with their bestial revel. But as a sort: of prelude wirning, seen at first only | by .the king, there appear- od over against the golden chande- lier, and therefore on a part of the wall: conspicuously. bright, the fin- gers of a' man's 'hand.

The chain of gold reminds us of the honor done Joseph (Gen: 41. 42). A golden necklace was sometimes given as a compliment, and was worn as a token of rank. The expression, third ruler in the kingdom, is difficult, but seems to | refer to some. such honor as that later enjoyed by Daniel (Dan. 6). The suggestion; has been made, that Nabunaid, being first ruler, and| Belshazzar second, he was making for oer, | sort of triumvirate.

The blackness of Bélshaz zar's guilt is intensified by the light in which he had sinned--thou knew. est all this (22)." 25. Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsix --Much thought bas been expended in an effort to decipher these words, The theory of a Frenchman, named COlermont-Ganneau, that we hav( here the names of three weights, « mina, a shekel, and two peras (or ¢ half-mina), has met with most favor Just why Belshazzar and the magl experienced any difficulty in read: ing these words on the wall cannol be determined, but it seems to hav( i their arrangement. The mystery 4 their interpretation is another mat ter. But the key appears to: bg found in rendering each word twice) thus, the first word means bot} "counted" or "numbered," and '"'handed over"; the second meant "weighed" and "thou art light" while the third means ""fragments,' and "the Persias" or 'Media. and Persia.' From this key it is oasy to obtain the interpretation of the thing (26-28). 29. Clothed Daniel with purple; In accord with the promise mada him. In view of the near approach of the army of Cyrus, the coolness with which Belshazzar gives this command is inexplicable. ree I ee em VALUE OF SILENCE. Too Much Talking as the Cause of Failures. Many of the failures in business and professional as well as' social life are due to injudicious talking. A young man of apparently very moderate ability: has recently as- tonished his fellow workers by his noticeable success - in business. "Pure luck' it has been called, but a policy or natural habit * of silence is the real cause, says the Youth's Companion. In his first position he succeeded a man of long experience and ®x- Lcellent: judgment, a -circumstance that made his youth and. inexperi- ence conspicuous by contrast. He made no apologies and asked little advice. He was courteous to - his superiors; considerate of his busi- ness 'inferiors, but absolutely deaf to all the gossip and irresponsible talk so prevalent in every large business office. He had held his position for a vear ; gossip had it that he had fail- ed, for in that time he had not sug- gested a single innovation or en- larged his department in any way. But soon it became known that he had proposed a chatige that would resylt in an'annual;saving of $2,- 000.
