I trine Of demons has enslayed 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 will
be completely bound. restrained, and
| deceive humanity thus no more. But
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,
''Ye shall not surely die" Ever since.
for six thousand years, he has worked
along this line. and all the fallen an

| 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 supersti-
| tons respecting heaven. purgatory and
| hell. The Catholics pray for those who
| go to Purgatory, to help them out
! Protestants 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 religious revolution to
| both Catholics and Protestants-back
| to the Bible and away from the dom

| humanity.
The Fallen Angels Lustful.
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
we'll with the Scriptural declaration
relative to the sin through which these
fallen angels first became reprobate.
st. Jude t6) and st. Peter Gil Peter
| Ii, ~, tell us briefly of the fall Of the
| augels-that "they left their own hab-
| itation and kept not their first estate"
| Both Apostles mention the circum-
stance in connection with human las
civiousness. 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 a 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 were real
| ly 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-
took unto themselves wives of such
as they chose" The angels, with su-
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 a 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 Noah's fam
lily 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 that
they were not fit to live. The entire
race had become corrupt.
Angels estrained-Chains of Dark
OF course, the fallen angels were rot
destroyed in the flood, for they not
only had the power to materialize, but
also the power to dematerialize. 1t
was at that time, however, that all Of
the fallen angels were put under re-
straints-not permitted again to ma
terialize, the limitation lasting until
the judgment of the great day"
Their restraints or chains are not
physical, to confine them to place in
Tdrtdrus-the earth's atmosphere. They
may roam at will; but are chained, or
restrained from Undertaking.. The in
timation of the Scripture seems to be
that, with the ending of this Gospel
Age, just prior to the inauguration of
the New Dispensation. these evil spir-
its may be allowed TO break their
chains and manifest themselves as
men, in connection with the great trou-
BILE time incidental 10 the change OF

Separated from God and the holy
angels, and unable to assume human
bodies, the sinful angels have probably
