vs.. 2S. The boat made shore Oh The
east side Of the sea. The country was
mountainous. The Gadarenes, or Ger
gescnes, inhabited it. There were vii
lagos here and there. Much land for
grazing was there. One great tract was
flied with swine feeding. Evidently
there was market for this sort of food
somewhere. Two men possessed with
devils met him. There has been much
study OF this subject of denounced
| men. | have never yet read a line that
satisfied me. We all know or have

| 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-

case such people are not sane. Prob

now. Two violent lunatics met him.

VS.. 20. The devils challenge Jesus

OF God" The devils acknowledge that
at some time they shall be under his

Sin never wants to give up. The de-
vi never wants to get out Christ S
time would never come ii the devils
were left to set it.
Vss. 3o-3T. There W rs lear in these
devils. They did not wish to be cast
out OF the men. but they were afraid.
They were intelligent devils. They
saw " a good way off, herd OF swine,
and they knew the herd:ng and selling
OF swine was an otfensc against Jewish
law. They were vindictivc devils. Ii
we cannot stay in men, ,ct us get even
with men by running their property.
They were confessing devils. If thou
cast us out" That shows they knew
his power. Thou canst cast us out II

But ii you do, etc

us To so and do all the harm we can. -
Bad prayer How can devils pray any
thing but bad prayers:

The devils went The two men did
not go. Something happened The
men were lett behind. The swine ran
into the sea and were drowned. The
malady, the INSANITY. the dcmoniz:ng
power that had made the men the ter
ror OF the whole region left the men
and went to the swine. No one saw
it go. But all saw the SWINE run into
the sea. This is one OF the most mar
Vicious things told in the New Tesla
