pevll Not Prettx.


Editor THE EVENING JOURNAL.
don't believe the devil ever was a
pretty man.
/ notice in THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL of November 1lth the address Of
the Rev Walter L. Adkins, Of Phil
adclphia. In his lecture he gave way
to such self contradicting assertions,
that l have been spirited to say word
or so In opposition. THE JOURNAL
has been in my possession several
years and / am surprised TO see that
il has space In its valuable columns
for such unfoundational theories as
that of the Rev. Adkins. that the devil
was tho prettiest man in the world
before his downfall" Now If there
rs such a thing as a personal devil, and
his rebellion were in the heavens, then
it takes no argument to prove he was
not the prettiest man In the world
For ne was not abiding in the world
before his supposed downfall. Such Ger
tainly sounds absurd TO any candid
mind II was said in his discourse
that the devil were still beautiful.
he has pointed ears and a forked tail"
II that be so, then the reverend preach
er must be more acquainted with the
be.
satan was the chief angel IN heaven
and that he transgrossed the law OF
God and rebelled against Jesus Christ"
he said. Now I wish to impress the fact,
that there never was such rebellion in
the heavens, for Moses has given us
the oldest authentic record extant, but
he gives us not a word Of lnforma-
ton concerning "a holy angel in heaven
rebelling against God, falling from
paradise and of his Introduction into
our world. Neither does the word devil
occur in a single line in his writings.
The five books of Moses comprise
a history for a period OF more than
two thousand years. Yet. we never
read where Moses ever warned his
children TO beware of that beautiful
man called the devil And If there
were such a man, the people We're en-
tirely ignorant OF his existence. The
reverend's theory is absurd. u teaches
that sin had its origin in Heaven Now
heaven is everywhere represented i'm
the Holy Bible, as holy, happy place,
into which nothing sinful, unholy or
unclean can ever enter, and to sup
pose sin and rebellion originated there,
is absurd IN the extreme
Il also teaches that sin entered this
world by a falling angel; and that we
are tempted by the devil; that plainly
eontradicts the word also, for it de-
c.ares that by one man sin entered;
not by one devil or fallen angel. But
BY one man sin entered into the world"
See Rom. 5:12. ] think that is enough
proof.
And we are not tempted by a devil
rs supposed. But every man is tompt-
I'd, yes. from Adam down, not by the
levil. But every man Is tempted when
he is drawn away OF his own lust and
snticed. James l:f4 and Ala; Prov.
t:11
] like 10 hear a sermon. but when
I minister cannot find better subject
than the devil to discourse on he had
better abandon the ministry and be
silent The day is here and il is high
time Cor ms to give up the idea OF
ghost, witchcraft and personal devils.
And that no one else Ray take that
/ Holy Word of God and so use il TO
smt their heathon- like imagination a.

MY SWEETHEART
BY John N. DOrney

There's a lady fair with golden hair,
And eyes Of heavens cerulean blue;
She is so coy, her face is fair,
IT'S taste of heaven TO hear her COO.
] often wonder how IL has come.
That this lovely girl should thus love me
At her caress I'm almost dumb,
She's an angel indeed, is Dorothy ID.
About my neck she places her arm,
She presses me to her loving heart.
I would die 70 save my love from harm.
IT'S sorrow to me when we must pant.
IT'S joy to me whene'er we meet.
I treasure her more than earthly gold.
She's an angel. indeed she's awful sweet
For Dorothy ID. is but two years old

with curiosity and interest by those who delight
in political developments
Oklahoma starts great State Il has the
population, the wealth. the resources and it has
developed marveously
Among the reforms in the constitution OF the
new State is prohibitory liquor law enacted in
obedience to the votes of the people and the pro-
hibitory wave that has spread throughout many
parts of the country. Provision is made for the
initiative and referendum. The books of all cor
porations doing business in the State are to be
free and open for the inspection of the State Of
hcers. The State is given permission TO engage
in any business save that of agriculture The
courts cannot by means OF the constitution, I'M
duly protect corporations When Kansas desired
to engage in the oil refining business the courts
nteriered and to remedy tins the Oklahoma con-
stitution gives the State permission to refine oil
should it desire to do.
The new constitution provides for the enact
ment into law, if it should be deemed wise, all
those sociastic tendencies that have been in ev-
idence so much of late. The State government
in its industrial activity will not be thwarted by
constitutional buwarks Yet Oklahoma was
carried by the Democratic party, which is sup
posed to be anti-paternalistc.
The spirit of the new constitution and the fact
that majority of the residents of the new State
are Of the Democratic and Populistic persuasion
show how far the new democracy has diverged
in its ideas and practices from the old conserva-
tive element of the party in the East who still
assert monopoly of simon-pure Democratic
principles, which principles they hold to be little
or no interference by the government with the
activities and business affairs of the people

The custom is for Christmas shoppers to wait
until the last few days before making their pur-
chases and it will be difficult to change this
method but the wise shopper is the one who be-
gins early to make his or her selections. The
Wilmington stores this season have an
elaborate assortment of articles suitable for pres
ents and those who wish to avoid the rush had
better begin this early to prepare to make their
holiday purchases.
