that the devil uses mems consciences
often to work his evil designs. A

lot iron as St Paul. or it can be edu-
Gated so that it becomes impervious
to good or bad impressions. The Holy
Spirit is the spirit of all truth and
the only safe guide. When Christ
was tempted by Satan on the mount
he depended upon the word of God
as his defense and every time his
Satanic majesty attempted to conquer
him. Christ cited the scriptures and
defeated his adversary.
