Excerpt from book: XXIX THE STORY OF THE HEBREW CHILDREN IN THE FIERY FURNACE (Daniel1 ill) Introductory Note-The first two chapters of the Book of Daniel relate that after the leading families of Judah had been carried into captivity by Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, and settled as colonists in the vicinity of Babylon, the king selected certain Judaean youths, "well-favored" and "skillful in wisdom" to whom he offered education and the highest preferment if they would forsake the laws and religion of Israel and conform to Babylonian customs. In the characters of these young men, the seed sown so lavishly by the old prophets, at last bore fruit. They refused to renounce their share in the divinely appointed mission of Israel, and neither flattery nor threats could move them. The officers who had charge of their education, unwilling to lose such promising pupils, concealed the facts of the case from the King and the well-meant deception was borne out by miraculous assistance. Daniel, one of these youths, having attracted the attention of the King by his skill in dream interpretation, became a secretary of state, and his companions, also, were advanced to high positions, the King being in ignorance of the fact that they followed in all things the law of Israel and despised the Babylonian gods. Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits: he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then Nebuchadnezzar theking sent to gather together the princes, the governors, and the captains, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

Excerpt: ... I THE STORY OF THE FLOOD (Genesis i. 7-8.) Introductory Note.--The Creator of the world is moved by the corruption and perversity of the human race to destroy all living things in a universal deluge. The righteousness of Noah, however, finds favor with the Creator, and Noah is instructed to build a great ark which shall carry himself and his family safely through the flood.

And the Lord said unto Noah:--Come thou and all thy house into the ark f for thee have I seen righteous before Me in this generation. Of every clean beast3 thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female; of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.
