Daniel in the Lion’s Den and Faithful Resolve
The Sunday School lesson by Wm. K. Fisher centers on Daniel 1 8 21. Daniel refuses defiling meat and wine, seeks a ten day test of vegetables, and emerges in wisdom and health. The article contrasts traditional history with modern criticism while highlighting faithfulness amid temptation and royal favor. It also briefly shifts to past and current military scenes, including a World War II era dispatch about American troops in Spain and Filipino volunteers, and a note on urban conflict near Santiago.
