A large percentage Of the human
race have come to the conclusion that
ID
teliigence acknowledge that there are
two forces abroad In the land, one for
good and one for evil. There IL an in
fiuence that impels a man to do right
and another to do wrong.
Christian scientists assert there Is
no evfl On the land; that 1t Is all mag
ination. but that DIS not true. There Is
evil and 1t Is experienced.
The evangelist then pictured satan.

and a forked tail. which he throws
over his arm when he walks, but as
an angel Of light. He pictured him as
a being next to God himself, In power
and form. The Bible calls him God,
Prince Of Air. Lucifer and other
names which indicate the position
which he holds in the Universe,
There came a time VIXEN that being re-
volted from God, he had the power fol

He revolted and took with him one
