 As an introductory, Dr. Ray read a portion Of the first chapter of St. Paul's epistle to the Romans. which pictured man in the deepest throes of sin. AS Caesar looked out upon the world he beheld men in depravity, and the same general condition prevails to-day said the speaker Roosevelt looks out and sees the same picture that was before Caesar. There is nothing outside of l the real to be pictured by the imagin- ation. Crime is one every hand. Pris- ons, reformatories, the electrocution chair, the asylums, and everything to l prevent crime all are here. Life was never so unsafe Murder is committed on the slightest provocation Look at l the power of evil. How 1t Is enthralling men and bringing them to ruin. The laughing boy of a few years ago is now waiting in his cell for his execution. He did not mean to reach such an end- ing. But remember, men, he is our brother, member of the human fam ] fly. What one member can do may be done by another Men who stood as firmly as any of you have gone down l beforethe mighty force of evil.
 Satan tempts men through their phy- sical side and he does not go beyond to entrap nine-tenths Of the human race. because they are dominated by the animal which is in them. tell you, you cannot trif1e with the appetites of your body. You must be the man above the animal Neither culture nor law could save the Greek nation. Other ways in which Satan entraps men are through the intellect They want po- sition and wealth, and through their 5l spiritual natures. In God only, through Christ, is the escape and victory In the fourteenth chapter of John we read about the prince of the world finding lnothing in common with Christ. The conditions which made 1t possible for Christ to conquer must be met by us.
 If Satan can put his finger on any part of your body and say, This is mine--I control this or that-this is in common with me then he has mort gage on you. The same is true if he influences your thought or spirit. Oh, I there Is an immeasurable distance be- l tween heaven and hell, but whatever l hold Satan has on you Christ can break,
 He can make you free. Out of the l fight, desperate as it is. he can lead you to victory God is calling to us from heaven, offering us every induce
 ment if we win, and warning us as to the results if we fail. If we win, we win forever; and if we fail, we ail or eves.n
