sATAS's DIVERSIFIED GRADES.
Satan has three or four grades down
which he takes men to destruction. One
man he takes up, and through one spree
pitches him into eternal darkness. That is
q rare case Very seldom, indeed, can you
find man who will be such fool as that.
When a man goes down to destruction
Satan brings him to plane. 1t is almost
level. The depression is 50 slight that
you can hardly see it. The man does not
actually know that he is on the down
grade, aud it tips only a little toward
I darkness-juSt a little. And the first mile
it is claret, and the second mile il is sherry,
and the third mile it is punch, and the
fourth mile il is ale, and the fifth mile it Is
porter. and the sixth mile it is brandy, and
then it gets stee2er and sleeper, and the
man gets frightened and says, "Oh, let inc
get off, NO" says the conductor, this
il an express train, and il does not stop
until it gets 70 the Grand Central depot OF
Slnashupton." All, look not thou upon
the wine when it is rcd. when it gIveth It's
