CHILDISH FEAR OF THE
DEVIL.

The only drawback to my com.
pleJe health and happiness when a
child, was fear of the devil, espec.
tally at night. He was an ever.
present reality, whom was told 1
could not see because he always
kept himself exactly behind me, and
however quickly might turn l new,
er could catch even glimpse of his
shadow. People who teach chill
dren such superstitions little dream
of the positive injury they are doing
to their mental and physical condl-
ton. These fears we're intensified
in my case under the preaching of
the Rev. Charles Finney, which in
measure marred my happiness and
crippled my development, until l ar
rived at the age of II years. l then
read Uombe's "Moral Philosophy"
and his "Constitution Of Man." and
discussed the broad principles laid
down in those volumes with gem
tieman ofliberal thought, and soon
threw off all the old theological gu
perstition that had so long shadow
ed nv life. / then struck the name
of Millions giant from the list of my
acquaintances, and with long walks
and rides on horse back I finally res
covered the normal, physical and
moral tone of my being. Health
and happiness are impossible where
one Is hedged about with undue re-
stralnts and fears of the underlined
and unknown.
