satisfied me. We al know or have
heard about people in our modern day
who seem bent on evil and only evil,
and some of them are violently and
murderously evil. This may be abso-
lutely abnormal life. 1t may be unbal-
anccd brain action. 1t may put the
devil at work in human soul. In any
case such people are not sane. Prob
ably denomination then was what It is
now. Two violent unatics met him.
A terror to the whole region they meet
the company coming from the ship and
frd themselves face to face with Jesus.
The devil never yet came into direct

power. They expect time of torment
but they dare to suggest that the time
has not come.

thou shalt choose. We don't wish that
But ii you do, etc"
They were praying devils. "Suffc
us to go and do all the harm we can.
Bad prayer. How can devils pray any
thing but bad prayers?

"Go." Did Jesus do wrong to ruiz
property? 1t was illicit property. NJ
