TO glory
THISLY AND SUBTLE WORK OF SATAN.
FWhat amazes me most is that all
people do not see that the entire move:
ment at this time all over Christendoni
is satanic. Many of the internal at.
tacks are sly and hidden and strategic
and so ingenious that they are not easily
discovered. But here is bold and un.
covered attempt of the powers of dark
ness to split up the churches, to get
ministers to take each other by the
throat, to make religion laughing
stock of earth and hell, to leave the
Bible with no more respect or authen-
ITCHY than an old almanac of 1922,
which told what would be the change
of weather six months ahead and in
what quarter of the moon it is best to
plant turnips. In word, the effort is
to stop the evangelization Of the world
It Seems to me very much like this:
There has been a railroad accident and
many are wounded and dying There
are several drug stores near the scene
Of casualty. All the doctors and drug
gists are needed, and needed right
away. Bandages, stiInulanta, anes
thetics, medicines Of ell sorts. What
are the doctors and druggists doingl
Discussing the contents of some old
bottles on tile top shelf-bottles of med
icine which some doctors and druggists
mixed two or three hundred years ago.

medicine on that top shelf was rightly
mixed. say there were too many
drops of laudanum in it, and this other
man says there we're too many drops of

ton settled before we can attend to the
railroad accident"
And one doctor takes another doctor
by the collar and pushes him back
against the counter, and one of the
druggists says, If you will not admit
that am right about that one bottle
will smash every bottle in your apothe-
cary store, and he proceeds to smash.
Meanwhile, on the lower shelf. plainly
marked and within easy reach, are all
the medicines needed for the helping
of the sufferers by the accident, and in
that drawer. easily opened, are band

store. Before apply this thought,
every one sees its application. Here is
