The Existence of IA Personal
Devil.

- u
Devil.
Extract from sermon by Rev. DR.. Ryder at 81.
Panls Church, ChlcagO.l
. Having thus shown that the
Bible does not sanction the belief in a
personal evil spirit, we are ready TO take
up the second inquiry: How are we to
account for the widespread belief in snch
doctrine2 We might answer this Gues.
ton by asking another, viz: How do
you account for the whole system Of Gre
clan and Roman mythology-ior the
thousands OF false gods and false notions
to be found among all pagan nations
When you shall give me the answer 10
this question you will have given the an
swcr to the one OF your own raising. But
there is a special reason why the pagan
mind should come to believe in personal
evil spirit. 1t is the shortest way of
solving the problem Of moral evil. The
primitive man drew wide contrast be-
tween the calm and beautiful phenomena
and the portentOus and frightful phe-
nomena, and illogically concluded that il
the one is produced by good power-a
god-the other must be by u bad power
u devil. This explains so many trouble
some problems. Did anything 20 badly,
the devil did il; was there an epidemic in
tue land. the devil caused il; and thus all
through the long list OF mortal troubles
the devil explains them all. We may
call this shallow reasoning; but you must
remember that Of this kind OF reasoning
there has been good deal in the West.
You have perhaps heard OF the poor
HindoO who asked n Brahmin, "What
does the earth rest On?" "On the back OF
an elephant" was the reply. "And what
does the elephant stand on?' "On huge
tortoise. I"Oh, that is it," said the in
quirer, perfectly satisfied. The reaction
ofhis undeveloped powers reached no fur
ther, and so lie was put TO rest.
And what do we more? What does the
Christian Church do more that tells us
that the elephant stands on the tortoise,
when it accounts for cost BY saying that
the devil introduced it? "Bul who in
troduced the Devil?" ia the next ques-
ton. II the Devil is responsible for the
existence Of sin, who is responsible for
the existence OF the devil?
But science and intelligence arc fast
emancipating the mind from tho slavery
Of these thoughts. Asa writer in pop
ular review aptly says: Scientists and
philosophers smile at it, and turn away
in scorn; only the priests hold to il, and
even they less and less. Enlighted reason
and faith have long since excluded it
from the sphere Of nature; only supersti.
tious ignorance and traditional conform
ity to the past still cling to it in the
sphere Of MORALS But the theologians
themselves are loOsening their hold on it.
One after another Of the more advanced,
even within the orthodox" sects, openly
disavow il; as DR.. Bushnell, who in his
remarkable work on mature and the Su.
pernatural," says: "Satan, or the devil,
is not bad omnipresence over against
God that is, monstrous and horrible
conception,-but an outbreaking evil, in
created spirits. It is not the name Of any
particular person, but name taken up
by the Imagination to designate, in con-
ception the mind can not easily WELD,
the total Of bad habits and powers"
