And what the saints were doing. y

And then came down with a broad grin,
To shphs hands with the people.

And some were caught with l%ucre;
And quite a host were gathered In.
with the bait progressive euchre.
Iic saw n crowd upon the street:
To welcome his arrivals
All. no. Just then the church bell rang.
They we're having a revival.
The church hell mafs the devil sick.
Hut he. with cordial greeting,
Joined the saints as they went by.
Resolved to 10 to meeting.
But the devil he was thundcrstruck
As tho church door they were nearing.
lie found that he war loft alone;
Tho saints were disappearing.
The devil strobe across tho street,
And In wonder upward glanclns.
lie saw the hall ablaze with light
And saints with sinners dancing.
He turned a handspring on the walk.
And as he gained his level.
He softly whispered to himself.
Doesn't that Just beat the devilf
IT'S elear that I'm not needed here.

And the devil spread his bat-like wings.
And fed back to pordition. ANON.
