Just word or two about his work. He
| begins in a very slow way and his infiu-
snce is most insidious.
As fisherman, when he has 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 poor sinner upon his hook,
! does not, at the first, treat him roughly,
out stretches out his rod, line and all, that
he may make the surer of him, and hold

summons why he was there. They told
him on the charge of murder. "For God's S

There is legend of Luther that during a
lerious illness the evil one seemed to enter
lis sick room, and looking at him with a
triumphant smile unrolled vast roll which
lie carried in his arms. As the fiend

That stout heart quailed before that
chastity roll. Suddenly it flashed into his
mind that there was something not writ

If you would know his final doom yor
have but to turn to Revelation the 2Otf

"And / saw an angel come down from
heaven, having the Key of the bottomlesl

laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent
which is the devil and Satan, and bounC
him thousand years. And cast him intc
the bottomless pit, and shut him up, anC
set a seal upon him that he should deceiv,
the nations no more till the thousand year
should be fulfilled, and after that he mus
be loosed little season."
From such foe as this may God deliver
US now. '----.-- .-.-
