God raised up champions, such as John Wesley, with his brother to turn people from these vain things. It must give Satan great satisfaction to have his faithful servants, such as Shakespeare, remembered even to this day. In more ways than one are we departing from God. On the first page is an article on Shakespeare, a man who died a few days after a drunken carousal, losing his life through indulgence of perverted appetite. In this article it is stated that he did many good works.
Man is extolled.
The good and the evil are placed on the same level. I had an opportunity to read the Signs article Ellen White is referring to. To me the article seemed harmless. Certainly Shakespeare was not enthusi-astically endorsed. His life was somewhat condemned.
