C.T. Studd passionately preaches about the boldness and integrity of
Daniel, urging believers to emulate his fearless faith and unwavering
commitment to God. He emphasizes that true courage involves confronting
sin directly and standing firm in one's convictions, regardless of
societal pressures or threats. Studd encourages Christians to be

Old Daniel was a Dreadnought!

If he was here to-day,

He'd make it hot for the pious lot

Who don't do as they say.

He didn't speak behind folks' backs,

But met them face to face;

He called spades spades, and dubbed knaves

knaves,

And always proved his case.

He neither cared for place nor power,

Nor feared the lions' den;

A godly cause will lock the jaws

Of beasts, or jealous men.

Whatever God at any time

Might write upon the wall,

He'd up and say, without delay,

To King and Court and all.

Dan didn't say "Belshazzar, Sire,

Your faults are peccadilloes";

He hit his sin with a rolling pin,

And not with feather pillows.

Dan didn't sugar-coat his pills,

Half doses didn't please him;

To save a life he'd use the knife

And bleed a fool to ease him.

Old Daniel ran a college once

Which turned out three invincibles;

A verse or two will let you know

What things he taught as principles.

Dare to be a Dreadnought,

With purpose true and firm;

Dare to live on simple fare,

And don't become a worm.

Dare to be a Dreadnought,

Dare to beard a King;

Tell him all the truth and don't

Emasculate the thing.

Dare to be a Dreadnought,

Faithful, loyal, bold,

Scorning under any threats

To worship man or gold.

Dare to be a Dreadnought,

Not a dressed up "toff,"

Nor glorified policeman,

Nor gun that won't go off.

Make a bold confession,

Though it means the rod;

Dare to kick the devil hard,

And dare to trust in God.
