All men of good sense, whether enlight~
ened by the Bible or IN heRthendom, have
noticed that there sre baieful and mElef
cent in EuenCes sbrcad that hkve not heir
origin in the human race, and demonology
is ss certain IS algelologY. The sword
Of Psrzcelus wss thought to have had
demon in the hilt cad there is now de-
moa in every sword hilt. The 6ncients
supposed the air was llled with syIphe
and sGtyrS End slrens and gnomes and
vampires and
sALAMANDERs AND UNDINEs
snd hobgoblins The Talmud eEYs thGt
Ads MS first wife was Lillis sud that their

hundred years ego Z demonogrSpher gave
the names Of ambassadors Of evil which
he thought Satan sent 10 different cOun-
trias: Msmmon, ambassador to lgland;
BelpheGoT, ambassador to France; Mar
tinet, ambassador 70 SwuZsrlSnd; Rim.

ambassador 10 Spain; Hutgin, smbEssa-
dor to Italy; and that there was prin-
cess OF devils by the name OF ProserpIne

wickedness. He has throne of power
aud c0uriiers sn1 srmieE and psyies and
machinery Of evil vast gs the round world
He is the supervisor Ct sll mischief and
what he csnnot do himself he delegates
others to do, and as each one CT Cur race

world the mstter Of 8 second, and who
msrshals on his side the forces volcanic,
