You go up and get Union Theological
seminary of New York and the general
assembly of the Presbyterian church at
Detroit at swords points and diverted
from the work Of making earnest minis
tiers Of religion. and turn that old
Presbyterian church, which has been
keeping us out Of customers for hun
dreds Of years. into a splendid pande-
moniun on a small scale. Abaddon
the Third You go up and assault that
old Episcopal church, which has been
storrning the heavens for centuries with
the sublimest prayers that were ever
uttered-church of Bishop Leighton,
Bishop White and Bishop McIlvaine,
and get that denomination discussing
men instead of discussing the eternities.
Abaddon the Fourth You 20 up to
that old Methodist church, which has,
through her reyivals. sent millions to
heaven which we would otherwise
have added to our population; the
church of Wesley and Matthew Simp-
son, against which we have an especial
grudge, and get them SO absorbed in
discussing whether women shall take
part in her conference that they shall
not have 80 much time to discuss how
many sons and daughters she viii take

| THE SLY AND SUBTLE WORK OF SATAN.
What amazes Inc most is that all
people do not see that the entire move
ment at this time ell over Christendom
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 I'M
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 a laughing
stock of earth and hell, to leave the
! Bible with no more respect or authen.
