WHO MADE THE DEVIL?
Rev. ]. 81. Barnett Tackles the Question and
Holds That God Did Not.

Holds That God Did Not.
Rev. j. H. Barnett preached in the Union
Park Church, Allegheny, last evening on
Who Made the Devil?" He said: sit
has always been an interesting question as
to who created the devil. Some maintain
that he was coexistent with God Himself,
and had equal power, one-half of the world
being wicked and governed by the demon,
while the other was good and controlled by
the Godhead. Many men of a more en-
lghtened age maintained that God created
the devil. With this view 1 do not coin
eide. God could create nothing but good"
The Rev. Mr.. Barnett did not try to
prove that the devil had been created by
anybody He described at length the ma
ture OF the devil. how he had been an ac-
cuser of the beautiful before God, but how
all this changed at the time of redemption.
