One of cur esteemed contemporaries in
late issue, heads its leading editorial article
beware of DeceDtoyS." Certainly that is

the article we notice the following gem:
The good old C'00b is very clear in its teach
ings on such deceptions the old arch-fend
is called a Serpent "A transformed dHgie of
light black spirit wrapped all mp and
obscured in the white shining robes of an.
gles." Such words are timely indeed, and
will serve TO make all men "beware OF de-
ceptors.'
