Description
Daniel's character is pre-eminently worthy of our attention. His life was not only conspicuous, but unique and difficult. A Hebrew, and yet prime minister at a heathen court which then governed the world; yet never did he fail in his duties, either as a statesman or as a true disciple of Moses. Amid all the luxury, splendor, and honors of the Babylonish court, he preserved an incorruptible integrity and spirituality of character.
The length of time Daniel acted as prime minister of state is proof of the ability and fidelity with which he discharged the duties of his high station. The whole of his life presents the fearlessness of his spirit and the fervor of his heart. He ever cherished humble views of himself, but the warmest emotions of patriotism toward his country. What is more powerful than his intercessions in behalf of his suffering countrymen! What more heroic than his life-long simple obedience to and trust in his God! Scott's survey of the life of Daniel is a worthy study for young men.
