InE lNDEFATIG ABLE FoE.-Even when two
armies arc drawn up against each othor, one
may be innccd to retire without a conflict.
Skillful manGuvrcs cmbarrass them. The oc-
cupation Of advantageous positions mcnaccs
them with disaster. A pretencc of strength
which is not possessed argues their inability to
meet hosts that seem overwhelming They
may therefore abandod the field without bat
tie.
Let it be confessed, to the shame of Chris
tians, that they often pursue this course of cow
ardicc. Brt Satan. never does! He surren-
ders no field without battle. lie allows us to
maintain no advantageous position, without
struggling to dislodgc lis. lie leaves in our
possession no undisputcd foot of spiritual terri.
tory. lie fights for everything, and yields it
only when conquered. and yields it then ouly
to fight for it again.
Such is the tirecss energy of our foe. Shall
We be less rcsolutc-wc who have God to
fight for-wc who are fighting for our souls =!
And if We arc, let lis remember that no "fears
Of the brave or folics OF tho wise" can supply
