begins in a very slow way and his infiu'
ence is most insidious.
As n fisherman, when he has n great fish
on his hook, lets out the line, so that the
fish may swallow down the hook, and be
more surely caught, even so the devil,
when he has a poor sinner upon his hook,
does not, at the first, treat him roughly,
but stretches out his rod, line and all, that
he may make the surer OF him, and hold
him the faster
Not long ago in the Tombs n man who

There is a legend of Luther that during a
serious illness the evil one seemed 90 enter
his sick room, and looking at him with n
triumphant smile unrolled vast roll which
he carried IN hls arms. As the hend

unwound itself with the impetus he had
given IL Luther's eyes were fixed on 10,
and 20 ms CONSERVATION he read there
the long and fearful record OF his own
sins, clearly and distinctly enumerated.
That stout heart quailcd before that
ghastly roll. Suddenly ~ flashed into his

chapter and read the first three verses.
And / saw an angel come down from
heaven, having the key Of the bottomless
pit and a great chain in his hand And he
