Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, answered and said . . . Be
it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods. Daniel
3:16, 18
"Let young Christians
especially learn from their example....Be not 
guided by the
will-o'-the-wisp of policy, but by the pole-star of divine authority.
Follow the right at all hazards.
When you see no present advantage, walk
by faith and not by sight..... to have the favor
and smile of God, is greater riches than the mines of Ophir could yield,
or the traffic of Tyre could win." Charles Spurgeon
