THE STORY OF DANIEL THE PROPHET

                                             Stephen N. Haskell


                 “But go thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest and stand in thy
                                   lot at the end of the days.” Daniel 12:13.


               thousand  shall  fall  at  thy  side  and  ten


               thousand  at  thy  right  hand,  but  it  shall  not


               come nigh thee,” is the promise. Christ came


               that we might have an abundance of life; the


               cup full to overflowing. We do not half realize


               our privilege.



               It was three full weeks since Daniel had begun


               to  pray,  and  Gabriel  explained  the  cause  of


               the  delay.  From  the  first  day  of  the  fast  his


               words  had  been  heard,  but  their  answer


               required  the  co-operation  of  Cyrus,  the


               Persian king. So while Daniel waited, ignorant



               of the work of heaven in his behalf, and little


               dreaming of the strivings in the heart of the


               king,  Gabriel  had  been  at  the  Persian  court


               pleading with Cyrus.
