Some OF our lads got few jugs of liquor
called wild cat whiskey" that had wild
| cat enough In Il TO cause quite lot OF
| disturbance and the consequence was that
our singing bee has closed after doing
quite well for the time IL was in session.
Mr.. G. gave us nice little composition
In answer 40 question regarding as TO
whether Satan was an angel in disguise or
not Vet he seems to evadc the ques.
ton. but says that the Creator Is not
the author of sin, which we think is wholly
| wrong, because In Him we live. move and
have our being and, since God created alt
| things. lie surely created Satan aud also
the hrst fruits Of transgressioa. IL seems
| to be the divine plan that thorns are hid
among roses and the greatest blessings
we have come from dangerous source.
Thus, fire is a blessing II we keep dis
lance from Il; electricity is a blessing IL We
keep hands on the wire deep water Is a
benefit TO us II we have means OF naviga.
ton. Indeed. there Is no good thing to be
enjoyed without shcre is some agency to
cause people to be cautious and we assert
from the present appearance of things that
without a satanical spirit there could be
no angelic spirits Ii was the Creator that
| caused JOSEPH 60 be sold into Egypt. IL
was He who hardened Pharoahs heart. IL
was lie who said. II will visit the iniquitics
Of the parents upon the children down TO
the fourth and tenth genesations" and
when Christ taught the Disciples TO pray
lie told them TO say "lcad US not into
temptation" lt was the Creator who said
that the sword should not depart from the
| House OF David Those and many other
things so to illustrate that trausgrcsslon
was part OF salvation Miss Alice Cary
| spoke well when she said, Those little
| things which we miscall evil are only a
| little tender shade between us and His
| Glory may meet with rdiculc for de.
| Tending old Satan. but the Bible says that
| he is the Prince Of this world and IL also
| tells us to be subject TO our rulers. and
| since so many seem TO be serving the old
| man and none defending him. | have a
| right TO be excused. would rather defend
| the cause of ~atan than to assert that any.
| thing exists that is not In accordance TO
the Will OF Him who moves the stars with
| His fingers and holds the universe In the
| hollow Of Hts hand. When we say that
| anything exists against His will. we are
| simply saying that He is NOT the God OF
| the universe. II Satan has an unlimited
power IL can not be estimated as TO what
/ he may do. Some have already stated that
4 he will have dominion ovcr thousands for
every one that Is saved and to say that he
/ acts as a free agent IL TO say that he viii
| make the plan OF creation failure
hut we are assured that
/ Not one life shall be destroyed,
| Or cast as rubbish TO the void
| When God hath made the pile complete.
