Our readings are this week upon a book which we have recently studied, and therefore we will not take time to outline in detail the chapters. It includes Daniel 1 to Daniel 6. We just suggest these thoughts for the reader: See in the first chapter God the Teacher, in contrast with the great schools of the world; in the second chapter, God the Revealer; in chapter 3, the great king is forced to acknowledge that the God of the Hebrews is a Deliverer above all other gods; in chapter 4 is God the Ruler; in chapter 5 God the Judge; and God as a Deliverer is again revealed in chapter 6 to the Persian rulers as He was to the Babylonian. Our week's reading closes with Psalms 71 and 72, at the end of which it is declared the prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended. Nearly all the Psalms of David are in the first two books of the Psalms, ending with this week's reading. There are a few scattered ones which follow.
