ed It SO before creation. This doe
trine of demons has enslaved many
honorable people who would them
selves scorn to make such a plan of the
ages as they attribute to God.
Thank God. the time Is not far dis
tant when these seducing spirits will
be completely bound, restrained, and
the deception has so long prevailed
that poor humanity is thoroughly un-
der it's control. The falsehood leading
up TO all this error is Satans first lie
to our parents in Eden. There, con-
tradicting the words of God, he said,
"Ye shall not surely die" Ever since.
for six thousand years, he has worked
along this line, and all the fallen an
gels with him. His message Is, I've
shall not surely die You'do not sure
ly die. When men seem TO die, they
become more alive than before they
died
On account of these errors, that dead
men are alive, Satan and the fallen an
gels, contrary to the teachings Of the
Bible. have instilled into the whole
world, nonsensical heather superst-
tons respecting heaven, purgatory and
hell The Catholics pray for those who
go TO PurgatOry, to help them out.
Professionals do not so pray. believing
that the sanity few go direct to heaven
and all of the insanity go as directly
to eternal torture.
If this great lie wherewith Satan
first seduced Mother Eve and murder
ed our race could be fully eliminated
from our minds and our creeds, it
would mean a religious revolution to
both Catholics and Protestants-back
TO the Bible and away from the dom
ina and seduction Of the lying spir-
it's. the fallen angels, who personate
humanity.

So far as we can learn from those
who have once been spirit mediums,
the trend Of Spiritism is toward un-
chastity. impurity. And this agrees
well with the Scriptural declaration
relative to the sin through which these
fallen angels first became reprobate.
st. Jude (6) and ST. Peter U1 Peter
il, A., tell us briefly of the fall of the
angels-that they left their own hab-
itation and kept not their first estate"
Both Apostles mention the circum-
stance I'm connection with human las
seriousness. The story of the fall of
the angels is given us briefly in Gen
esis vi, IA After mans fall into sin
God permitted the holy angels to have
communication with humanity. And
because human eyes cannot see spirit
beings, God permitted the angels to
materialize For instance. we note the
case of the angels who visited Abra-
ham on the plains Of Mamre and for
whom he prepared q veal dinner. We
read that, materialiZed. these angels
were like men, and taken by Abraham
to be men, while they ate and talked
with him 1t was subsequently that
Abraham learned that they We're real
" heavenly visitants.
So it was with all the angels before
the flood. They were permitted to ma
terialize and to appear in every sense
of the word as men, The record shows
that the angels became lustful We
read. THE sons of God saw the daugh-
ters Of men that they were fair and
took unto themselves wives of such
as they chose The angels. with SUI
perior powers and superior knowledge
to mans, acted as the masters of men,
who were practically obliged to do
! their bidding. The result is stated in
few words. The children of this mesal-
lance, we are told. were giants as
compared with the ordinary members
Of our race And not only were they
giants physically, but also intellectual
ly-"They were men Of renown.' Poor
humanity could not compete with this
race. The result was that strife and
, contention and lustful. sinful prac,
/ tises abounded in all the earth. until
! God declared that every imagination
of the thoughts of mans heart was
only evil continually.
God had foreknown all this. and a
canopy of waters, which then sur
rounded the earth. similar to Saturn s
rings now, was held in readiness to
cause flood. that sinful men and the
human offspring of the angels might
be destroyed. Only Noah and his fam
lily were found worthy of preservation
to be the new start Of humanity this
side of the food. The declaration OF
the Scriptures respecting Noahs fam
ily is. Now Noah was perfect In his
generation" He was. properly gener
ated or born-so were his children
There was no strain or admixture OF
the angelic stock in that family. The
plain information is that the remainder
of humanity were so degraded by the
seductions Of those fallen angels tha
they were not fit to live. The entire
race had become corrupt.
