their first estate
Jude g.. Excellent attention was
given at both services. We report the
latter as follows:
The Bibles teaching that. the earth's
atmosphere is infested with evil spirits
Is now very generally disbelieved. AS
a result of the disbelief thousands Of
well-meaning people are being the
more easily entrapped by these evil
spirits. The blight is both physical
and moral. The usual method of pro-
cedure is to. arouse curiosity. While
the quest for knowledge proceeds, an
influence much like that OF hypnotism
affects the investigator. impelling him
forward TO further investigation.
Sometimes the curiosity is attracted
through the outer senses at spiritualis-
tic seanees, with Quiz boards, etc. At
other times 1t is by spirit rappings.
Again, 1t may be by whisperings in
the ear, inaudible to others. At other
times the messages come through
trance-mediums.
In every instance these communion
lions purp0rt to come from dead hu-
man beings. This Of itself gives to the
communication special charm to
many. They feel honored In being
sought out by the dead and in being
able to communicate with them. They
are curious for information respecting
the hereafter. They forget that they
have been taught from infancy that
the holy dead are far of in heaven,
and that the unholy dead are far of
In torment.
They Teach False Doctrines.
How fully this is forgotten is shown
by letter which l received on the
first day of this month from a Catho-
lie lady. In it she tells how she first
obtained clairvoyant powers-the gift
Of hearing what others could not hear.
This, In turn, permitted her to commu-
nicate with the evil spirits, the fallen
angels. These, representing themselves
to her as inmates Of purgatory, came
to her for help. They solicited her
prayers and were progressing to get
her more and more under their control.
Just in time she was rescued through
reading my writings on the subject.
Since then she has exercised her will
and her prayers against having any
fellowship whatever with these fallen
angels. Gradually she is becoming
more and more enlightened in the
Truth of Gods Word
Not infrequently do these spirits per-
senate the Heavenly Father and Christ,
urge more prayer, accuse Of sin, recon-
mend the reading of the Scriptures,
etc. This appears to be with view
to gaining the confidence, the relaxing
Of the will. Later on dishonorable sug-
gestions are made. The Bible is scorn-
ed, prayer is laughed at. If, then, the
subject takes fright and seeks to break
the hypnotic chain, the evil spirits
laugh at him, swear at him, and some
times tell him that they win shortly
have him fully in their power to roast
him forever. If he attempts to pray,
they intrude and interrupt and tell him
that God would not hear him now, that
he has gone too far, etc.
With some the matter goes 80 far
that the human will is broken down
completely and the spirits obsess them
and use their bodies foolishly-
times viciously, sometimes insanely,
until finally they are pronounced dam
gerous and committed to asylums. We
do not claim that all the insane are
obsessed Of evil spirits, but so far as
we can judge, nearly one-half the In
mates OF asylums are obsessed by
demons who live In them while they
are mastering their wills.
Prepared For These Decisions.
God, through His Word, has fore
warned His people against these delu-
sions. In permitting them, neverthe-
less, to fall into these traps. he Is
merely teaching great lesson. The
terrible results of disobedience, Of
neglect Of Gods Word, are not eternal.
The Divine arrangement is that ulti-
mately the entire human family shall
be released from the bonds of sin and
death, ignorance and superstition. and
all have full opportunity for coming
into fun harmony with God. The
present lesson VIII illustrate the ne
cessity for searching the Scriptures
and obeying Gods voice therein.
seduoina spirits-Doetrinss of DeviIs.
St Paul, in describing our day, de-
clares one Of its prominent signs to be
that many will now give heed to these
seducing spirits, whose teachings and
practises lead away from God. st.
Paul intimates also that by these mis-
leading spirits many will come to hold
doctrines Of demons, or deyilish doc
trines. 1t is a sad commentary upon
our wonderful day Of enlightenment
that the most enlightened people should
hold the most awful doctrine respect
ing the hereafter.
A doctrine Of demons It most surely
Is which tells, to the dishonor of Gods
name, that nine hundred and ninety
nine ont Of every thousand of human
tty are to be eternally tortured. either
because a. Divine incompetence 70
make better arrangements for them,
or because God willed and foreordain-
ed it so before creation. This doc
trine of demons has enslaEed many
honorable people who would them
selves scorn to make such plan Of the
ages as they attribute to God.
Thank God, the time Is not far dis
tant when these seducing spirits win
be completely bound, restrained, and
deceive humanity thus no more. But
the deception has 80 long prevailed
that poor humanity Is thoroughly I'M
der its control. The falsehood leading
up to all this error Is Satan's first lie
to our parents In Eden. There, con-
tradicting the words Of God, he said,
Eye shall not surely de-" Ever since,
for six thousand years, he has worked
along this line, and all the fallen an
gels with him. His message Is, Eye
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 supersd-
lions 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.
II this great lie wherewith Satan
first seduced Mother Eve and murder
ed our race could be fully eliminated
from our minds and our creeds, 1t
would mean religious revolution to
both Catholics and Protestants-back
to the Bible and away from the DOM
nation and seduction of the lying spir-
its, the fallen angels, who personate
humanity.
