legions which Satan puts into the field.
Ancient history tells us the story of the
proud city of Carthage. against which
war was waged by Rome until the
mighty city of Africa had been COM
pletely obliterated by the mightier
power, and Rome was sole mistress Of
the Mediterranean sea. with undis-
puted sway, holding under her protect
ing arms countless allies.
CAN PROTECT HIS CHILDREN.
"in a far, far greater manner the
Lord can throw protection and power
around his true children, his allies
against the hosts of evil. Most modern
day Christians are, however, like rab-
bits. When the dog barks they run.
AT the first test of their Christianity,
at their first opportunity to strike a
blow for what is good and holy, they
become faint hearted and flee. They
fail TO realize that there is another side
to the conflict besides the visible one,
and on that other side is God, and that
his unseen arm is about to reach out
and protect them.
Goethe illustrates this beautifully in
that vivid scene in his great drama,
where unfortunate Margaret, more
sinned against than SHINING, has died in
her prison cell, and Satan is eagerly
grasping for the poor girls soul. Sud
denly the dark dungeon is lighted by
pure white light, an angel of the Lord
intervenes and says, Back! And the
evil spirit retires ANONYMOUSLY, crushed
by the sublime virtue and dauntless
courage of the messenger from above.
In
that the protection afforded by God is
such that Satan cannot in any way in
jure you. If you are in one of our
great warships you can laugh at deadly
bullets from Krag-Jorgensen rifles pat
tering against it's steel armored sides,
and in the same way those believing
and trusting in the Lord are protected
by bulwark, so strong and powerful
they can laugh to scorn the futile ef-
forts of Satan to injure them with the
THEY ARE PROTECTED.
"And Gods protection isn't accorded
alone to the man who has always been
steadfast and true. The repentant sin
ner is entitled to his full share of
sympathy and protection. Repentance
means turning from one party to
another, Il transfer from the partisans
of the devil to the glorious brotherhood
who lift their faces to Jesus Christ.
However, a field full of chaff cannot be
full of wheat, and mind filled with
thoughts of flesh and the world cam
not be full of Jesus Christ. Oftentimes
we enlist in the armies of Hell, but
later see the great light and striking
our colors turn over to the ranks of the
Lord.
"Then the Lord completely fills our
hearts and souls, and for the first time
we realize the joys which attend recti-
tude and Righteousness. We are filled
with the wine of peace and joy. When
we have reached this condition, Christ
has appropriated us and dominated our
being and we are at last in measure
partakers of the divine nature. There
is more than mere greatness in life,
there is the unfolding and development
of the divine stalk which God has given
us at birth, and which contains the
elements of a sublime faith and trust"
