In the Story of Daniel the Prophet, a few of the interesting facts in regard to God's dealings with His people have been gathered into a simple narrative. The book is the result of much prayerful study. It is sent forth with an earnest prayer, that in the hands of the parents it may be the means of making the study of the Bible in the family a blessing to young and old; and that the teacher in the schoolroom may see precious rays of light flashing from its pages, pointing both teacher and pupil to the Great Divine Teacher. God grant that as it falls into the hands of the careless and unbelieving, they may be influenced to read, and as they read, may behold the beauty of our God, and be led to worship toward His holy temple. We trust that while its simplicity will attract many who might not be inclined to read a deep argumentative treatise: the most studious will find food for thought, and thus become better acquainted with the character of our Heavenly Father. We earnestly pray that even the skeptic may not cast this book aside; but rather give it a careful reading, and while tracing the fulfilled prophecy in the history of the world, learn to prize the Word of God.
