We read in the Bible OF one occa-
sion ut least when the people OF the
Lord came up 10 worship and the devil
came also. Perhaps he was not visit
bic. but the Invisible powers OF the
world are its real forces. The devil
stil enjoys going to a church service.
Most frequently he Is escorted TO the
house OF God. II a man goes TO the
service, letting swear words and all
other mean things have free course ia
his heart. he is taking the devil along.
II one goes beut on murder. as did
Giuseppe ALA In Denver. the case Is
even more pronounced.
There are variations in the extent to
which people are possessed OF the devil
AT home. in the open air. In the
church service. that they are not en-
tirely given over to doing the win Of
Satan is not his fault That Satan Is
crowded out OF their mind and hearts
IN any measure Is greatly to their
credit. To be filed with the Spirit
and keep filed continually requires
constant devotion to. the Lord and a
heart which lives in the spirit OF
prayer. This Is the kind Of communion
God desires both for His glory and for !
mans growth. A conscious yielding IN
