The Telepathy of Satan.


 There is vision sent by God There is also a Satanic telepathy. Christ, bone of our bone and flesh of our flesh was tempted by the visions of sin as we'll as we. In the fourth chapter of Luke we read that Satan took Jesus up to high mountain and In vision showed unto Him all the kingdoms of the world and said "All this power will I give thee and the glory of them, for that is delivered unto me, and to whomsoever l will, l will give 1t. If thou, therefore, will worship me all shall be thine" Then Satan took Jesus to the pinnacle of the temple and asked him to cast himself down from thence, to prove that he was the Son of God But Jesus. instead of obeying the Satanic vision, turned unto the devil and an swered: Tt is written, thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God" If being so pure and holy as our Lord was ap- preached by temptation and assailed by a tempter who based his wicked sugges- ticns on passages of scripture, how care ful should we be when a vision comes to us, as it came to Peter on the house top, to make sure that the vision Is heaven sent for our guidance and not a tempta- tion from the enemy sent to our own de- struction.
 Divine telepathy, as with Peter, is often manifested with Gods children after some great trial or sorrow or earthly mis- fortune has come upon them When the casket is placed in the home it is apt to be felt, as Christ appeared unto Mary on the first Easter morn. It is very apt to be manifested vivdly in times of bereave- ment. as 1t came to my companion with whom I journeyed through the the Holy Land
 Some Simple Facts.
 How to explain this manifestation know not I would give you the simple facts and let you judge for yourself We were en route from Beirut to Athens by way of Smyrna. It was about o'clock in the morning. I was awakened by my com panon sobbng in his berth. What is the matter. Troub?" I asked "Oh," he answered, something has happened at my sisters home. I had a strange vision about 1t. was not asleep but this vision has come upon me as an overwhelming reality" Nonsense, mani'' 1 answered. You are not a fanatic, are you? You were asleep and had bad dream; that is all" 1 did not belive in Gods visions then as l do now. My friend said nothing, but that vision made such an impression upon him that he took note of the time and the latitude and the longitude we were then in. From Athens we went di- rectly home. So overpowering was his conviction of the reality of that vision that instead or gong al once 10 ms Phil- adelphia home he stopped first at friends residence not far from where he lived. How are the folks?" said he The friend answered: What Did you not re- ceive any message lately? Why. your sis ter lost both her twin boys in one day. They both died of diphtheria within an hour of each other" My friend asked the time. They died about the same time the wonderful vision cae to him in the mid dle of the Mediterranean sea. I ask you not to give a human interpretation of that manifestation You cannot. I cam not From a human standpoint was not that vision very strange? Can you inter pret 1t from any supernatural causation?
 But why be surprised at the incident have related? You have heard of many
