and Christian morals. We quote from the report
of the Salt Lake Tribune: "Our conception of the
devil" said the bishop us connected with certain
brand of mustard, rather than with our religion.

devil the falsifer and by this form it fifty de-
scribes the active agency of daily life in which we
come into contact"

others have to say on this weighty and tremendous

the only rational and Ineligible solution of the
mystery of evil" Raupert-"The Fall of Man"

back to mems minds with such persistence in spite
of our efforts to exclude them, as to be in them

teachers who teach that there is no devil and that
there is no evil in this, or the future life These
teachings are themselves the doctrines of darkest
demons"

Extract from public declaration of the bishop
In these hectic days of spiritism, Eddyism, Dove
sm, occultism, skepticism, theosophy and sef-ad-
vertised clericism, it is consoling and buoyantly
cheering to have it the authority of Christian
bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church. that all
he Fathers of the Christian church, all the con-
lessons, martyrs and canonized saints were mis-
aiken in their beliefs and that when ST. Peter coun-
eled the members of the church in Galatia to "be
vatchful: your adversary, the devil, as roaring
ion, waketh about, seeking whom he may devour,"
lie writing nonsense; for the scientists and the
earned bishop of the P. E. c., Salt Lake, have
proved conclusvey that the "devl" of Jesus Christ
md the Apostles is only 'the active agency of daily
ife in which we into contact; that the Satan
# the Old and New Testament is a myth. Now,
nd forever let hell and the devil be shelved with
