eous will be specially protected and the un-
righteous OF the tares abandoned as they pre-
fer and exposed 10 the baneful influences Of
error. They love lies. Many will admit
that all the circumstances and conditions
seem to favor the scripture statement that
the dead know not anything, and their ONLY
hope will he their resurrection; but they

and Is destined 20 sift out many more.
Christian people of nearly every branch

also ignored of what the Scriptures teach
concerning the "angels that kept not their
first estate" of their powers, and of the de-

until a certain period N which they would
lie permitted To use their powers again meas
ureabY. Their claims heightened some
what that they might even materialize and
personals the dead and confirm the lie to
such as prefer /, to The truth.

it to the truth, they nevertheless dread spr-
