Thousands Of Demons Krpfest
EzaPsza's Atmosphere.

Giving heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of
demons e Tim. 4:1). wicked spirits in
high Positions (Ep1a. 6: ICY. "The
heather sacrifice to devils ard not
to GoT' q Ger. 10: 2e).
THE Bibles teaching that the earth's atmos-
phere is infested with evil spirits is now very
generally dsbeleved. AS 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 procedure is to Arouse curiosity
While the quest for knowledge proceeds an inHu-
ence much like that of hypnotisn affects the
investigator, imPelfjng hipn forward to further
investigation. Sometimes the curiosity is
attracted through the outer senses, at spiritual
lstic seances, with ouja boards, etc At other
times is is by spirit rappinss~~Af-ain, it may be
by Whisperngs in the ear naudible to Others
AT other times the messages come through trance
mediums.
The above is taken from Pastor Russell's
paper.
The Pastor says that the atmosphere is of
invisible spirits, whose sole purpose is to
tempt us to poor mortals
The Pastor says that these evil spirits
usually begin the game By aroatst7eg our curl
osity.
Our curiosity having been aroused, re begin
to Investigate.
Having investigated, nc begin to doubt
some things that had been taught us-by
priests, for instance.
Hoao can a priest do as any harm By arous-
ing oar curiosity?
Hooo can qoe be hert By honest i,ooestiqn-
h0m9
The creed that fears the light, must need
the darkness
A creed that needs the darkness, cannot be
q sound one.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-05-16

And Pastor soh0 oc0nts to prevent honest
investigation, IS no true friend to true 1,ezi-
gson.
Pastor Russell's position as to that, is the
RonnanisT position.
In another part of the same article, Pastor
Russell states that Gods plan is to faaaUQ saue
EVERYBODY.
Herod and the Innocents will finally sing
IN the same heavenly choir.
Judas and Peter will exchange harps. now
and then.
Nero and the Martyrs will walk the golden
streets, arm in arm.
Luther and Cesare Borgia will both keen
company with Pope Alexander, Sa,sonarola.
Eighth, the Duke of Alva and William the
Silent
Henry the ". will hobnob with his many
earthly paramours, and with the monk who
killed him
The victims of the Inquisition and those of
the Waldenslan massacres and those Of Saint
Bartholomew will attune their voices in
heaven, with the men who murdered them.
Pastor Russell's plan puts into heaven,
finally, the entire human race, from Genesis
to Revelations-all the niggers, all the
Indians, all the Hottentots, all the Asiatics.
all the Europeans, all the Cannbals, and all
the men that the cannbals cooked and ate
This Russell heaven is shore some heaven.
What bothers me, is this:
What's to become Of the Devil, finally?
What's to become, finally, Of the angels of
the Devil?
What's to become, finally, Of the thousands
of evil spirits who are sailing around in the
atmosphere, "arousing curiosity?"
What disposition, finally, will be made of
hell?
Ny, private opinion of Pastor Russell is,
that he is a nice old religious lunatic
That man is mentally lost, in a maze of
mysticism; and he is cropping his way along.

WHATS the matter with the papers, these

AS everybody knows, the Roman Catholic

sNEAp TRIAL BEGINS.

Fort Worth, Texas, Jan. 3O.-Wher
the trial of John B. Snead, accused
of the murder of Captain A. G. Boyce
Sr., opened today the defense filed q
motion to quash the indictment on
the ground that it was faulty. Argu-
ments then began.
1t became apparent today that the
defense would resort to the ''unwrit-
ten law" to justify the killing that is
presumed to have resulted from the
elopement of Sneads wife with
Boyce's son.
After Justice Swayne had denied a
motion aimed to quash the Indictment
against Snead, he granted an order
directing the telegraph companies to
produce telegrams that passed be-
tween young Boyce and his father
after the elopement. The defense, it
is believed, designs TO show that the
elder Boyce aided in the elopement.

closed that while existing charts show
the island to be British by virture of
it's annexation in 1889 by Captain
Nichols of the British gunboat Cormo-
rant, the island had previously been
annexed to the Hawaiian kingdom in
1882 and the commission appointed

PACKERS BELIEVE THEY
HAVE SCORED A PUNT
ATTORNEYS SHOW THAT BEEF
WAS SOLD AT DIFFERENT
RATES IN SOME CITIES.

Chicago, Jan. 30.-In an effort to
refute the governments charge that
the margin was a material faclor in
fixing the selling price of dressed
beef, Attorney John Barton PAYNE,
representing Edward Tilden, presi@'
dent of the National Packing COM
pany, had Witness Steiner G. Lam
CHER read into the record of the pack
ers' trial today entries from the sales
books of the corporation. These en-
tries tended to show that dressed
beef, on which the test cost was iden-
tical, was sold in New York and Bos
ton by defendant consignees at differ
ent prices on the same day.
The defense contends that the by
product allowances used in figuring
the test cost and adjusting the mar
gins is simply a matter of book lseep-
ing and is not a factor in determining
the selling price of beef. Other en-
tries from the salesbooks werN

dressed beef did not increase In the

ment declared the packers suspended
