Now Christ enlarged the rovor Of the
Seventy, giving power over serpents aud
scorpions &c. But let not this create boast

arc Hritten In Heaven. The victory over
these Was mere pledge Of things to come,

also. Christ must reign until all power Of
Satnn falis. This he does py exposing the
policy, and p1anE, and power of Satan. Little

more In the new. Little in the old about the
great pattlc Of Life and its armor: In the
