of nearly all humanity except the
very electat the hands Of fireprooi
devils with pitchforks.
Thus the human mind was turned
against the Almighty in dread. Thus
humanity learned to think of Satan
and his associates as in some far off
place. Now as greater illumination
comes and humanity gradually ascer-
tains that the theory of a great torture
place beyond the bounds of time and
place was q hoax, these demons would
lead such seekers in an opposite
direction, and convince them that as
there is no such torture chamber,
neither are there any demons.
But the Bible all the while has been
telling us that these evil spirits are
near us, in our atmosphere; and that
they have power over us in proportion
as we yield our wills to their sugges-
tions and our minds to sin. SO far
from telling of Satan's being far off,
the apostle declares that he goes about
through the earth, seeking whom he
may devour; and that his host of fal-
len angels are n present power for
evil throughout the world. Similarity,
Jesus tells MS to pray, Deliver us
from the evil one" He says that Satan
was "a murderer from the beginning,
and abode not in the truth john

Cast Down to Tartarus.
st. Peter tells us that the fallen an
gels at the time of the deluge were
cast down to tartarus. This word
tartarus is used only once in the Bible,
and is nistransIated hell. 1t is gener-
ally conceded to refer to the earth's
atmosphere. though it may be used in
figurative way, much as we use the
word limbo a prison, a place or con-
dition of restraint. ....5
We are not to confound the Bible
story Of the fan of the angels and their
restraint in chains Of darkness with
the symboliCal figure of Revelation,
where Satan and his angels are cast
out Of heaven. The Revelation picture
is purely symboIical as all admit. 1t
does not refer to literal heaven at all,
but in figurative way describes mat
ters which happened on earth--mattcrs
which found their fulfilment centuries
ago, at the time the roman empire
was overthrown, and papacy set itself
up, claiming earthly and heavenly
power and authority as the kingdom
of Messiah, operating through the
popcs as McSsiah's vicegerents

At Jacksonville, Fla, the opera
house was crowded to hear Pastor
Russell. He spoke twice. We report
one of his discourses from the text
"The angels which kept not their first
estate. but left their own habitation
He hath reserved in lasting restraints
under the thick darkness for a iudg-
ment of the great day" dude 81 He
said:
Last Sunday we discussed the fall
of the angels, and saw that they sue
cumbed to the leaven OF sin, which
was first introduced by Satan's pride
and rebellion, and was continued and
increased by mans disobedience and
fall from divine favor. Some might
be inclined to say, Why preach about
the angels and their fall? Why not
rather confine our consideration, TO

had to do with the fal of the
angels, as we have seen: and that

stroyed Satan at any time, but He has
permitted him for the past six thou
sand years to go on in his course, in
order to demonstrate the evil character
of sin, and to give opportunity, on the
contrary, of demonstrating the beauty
of holiness. Eventually, when the les
son shall have been taught to angels
and to men. Satan and all who love
sin will be utterly destroyed in the
second death.-Revelation 21:S.
Note the persistency of Satan, said
Pastor Russell and his effrontery.
God distinctly told Adam and Eve
that disobedience would bring upon
them the penalty of death. Satan
contradicted the Almighty point blank,
declaring, "Ye shall not surely die"
And when our race found the truth
of Gods statement borne in upon them
by death, Satan still sought to pervert
the word of God and the minds of men
by telling humanity that they do not
die really, but in appearance only;
that in reality a dead man is much
more alive than a living one.
This absurdity has been repeated to
our race century after century, until
today mankind, as 81 whole, believe
Satans lie and entirely discredit the
word of God The way back to God
and to sanity of reasoning is the re-
pudiation of Satan's falsehood and the
acceptance of Gods truth. The dead
know not anything. Their sons come
to honor and they know it not; TO
dishonor and they perceive it not of
them.-F,ceiesiaste 9:5; Job 14:21.
Satan's original lie is the basis of
all the supersititions of religion. If
mankind believed God-that the dead
are dead, and that their only hope of
a future life is based on the resurrect-
ion-it would clear the world of a
thousand superstitons. How could the
dead suffer tortures in a protestant
hell or in a catholic purgatorY, if the
dead know not anything, as the Bible
declares? If the truth prevailed,
where would come in prayers and
masses for the dead? And where would
come in the belief of spiritists and
others that they have communications
with their dead friends-if, as the
Bible says, The dead know not any
thing?"
Demons Personate the Dead.
ON the basis Of human credulity-
the supposition that the dead become
more alive when they appear to die
the demons have advanced their de-
ceptionS, and sought to enthrall hu-
mantN Invisible to men, yet fully
informed respecting all human affairs,
they can readily personate the dead.
The fallen angels, since the deluge
deprived of the power to materialize,
use as channels of communication
such individuals as they can deceive
into being their servants-mediums
Many of these are noble characters,
and many of them the reverse; but
vicious or ignorant or good, the de-
mons use such as they can control,
none being too debased for their SER
vice.
Working on the credulity of their
dupes, they use the lips or the pencil
of the medium to describe the dead
one, who is supposed to be very anx-
ious to communicate with the living
And the description generally fits we'll

person-age, sex, clothing, ALL So de-
luded do people become. that they fail

age, and proportionately larger, and
certainly not content to wear in a
spirit land the same clothing they
wore when last seen by the dupe- The
| demons power to discuss mattere
known only to the dupe and the de-

And all the teachings of all the. de-
nominations, that the dead are not
dead, are helping on with the decep-
ton. The venerable minister deceived
| by the doctrines of the dark ages,
! tells his hearers at the funeral that
their deceased friend is lowering over
them; and that if he could speak, he
would say. Weep not for me-" The
medium and the clairvoyant announor
that they are under spirit control and
that the departed one can speak
through them. Is it any wonder that
the deception is a powerful one. with
many? The antidote for all the doc
| trines of demons is the message of
the word of God:
| Cd That the dead are really dead;
(2) That Christ died on our behalf;
CD That at His second coming and
kingdom, there shall be a resurrec-
tion of the dead, both of the just and
of the unjust Acts 24:15.
Demons Cast Out Of the Possessed.
Let those who deny that there are
invisible evil spirits explain what Je-
sus meant when He gave His disciples
power over all manner of disease, and
over unclean spirits. Let them explain
what the apostles meant when they
returned with joy, saying, Lord. even
the demons are subject unto us in thy
name 1t is for them to explain, too,
what really took place at Gadara,
where the scriptures declare Jesus
cast a legion of these evil spirits out
of one man. That legion, permitted to
go into the swine, We're sufficient in
number to craze the entire herd.
Let us also have an explanation of
what ST. Paul meant when he turned
to rebuke the young woman who had
the power of divination, and COM
manded the evil spirits to come out of
her. (Acts 16:16-1S) Let them ex-
plain why her soothsayng prognosti-
cations We're at an end, when once the
evil spirit was gone forth Let us
also remember that there is not a
suggestion anywhere in the Bible that
these evil spirits were ever human
beings in any sense of the word, or
at any time. Let us all remember that
these are the same evil spirits dealt
with at the time of the deluge
Immediately after the flood, they
began their attack upon humanity,
their attack upon the truth, their en-
deavor to make humanity believe the
lie--that the dead are not dead To
whatever extent they succeed in so
deceiving humanity they prepared
mankind proportionately to be their
dupes. The goal of their ambition is
possession, and everything else is ac-
cessory.
Spirit mediums recognize the demon
character of the spirits communica-
| ting through them; and they dread
them and warn each other against the
danger of allowing their Wills to come
completely under spirit Influence,
knowing that surely the result will be
possession. denomination And this in
our day is called insanity although
many physicians realize the difference,
and candidly say that not one half the
cases in an insane asylum are due to
! functional disorder. The majority are
cases of possession by evil spirits.
The Daily Missoulian., 1913-03-02
Suggestion, Diversion, Impression,
Possession.

These are the four steps along which
those who do not put themselves un-
der the guidance of the Lord are in
danger of being led by the demons.
And every step of the way should be
fought with a determination of the
will, if the "Wiles of the adversary
would be escaped. The vacant, unoc-
cupied mind is the more open to sug-
gestions of the demons The purpose
ful, earnest, energetic, have a protec
tion in their activity.
But if suggestions, or imaginations
have been entertained, the. second step
| may soon folloW-diversions The mind
will be diverted from the lines of
thought-study, prayer, or what not
The power of suggestion becomes SO
strong as to interfere with proper
thinking and reasoning
This leads on to the third step--m-
preston. Some are naturally more inn
pressionable than are others, and can
receive promptingS, or suggestions,
from the evil spirits with so little diff
ficulty that they do not realize the
source of the impression, but rather
wonder if it is a power of their own.
Really it is the outside power impress
ing them. and more and more bringing
them under occult influence.
Finally comes the last stage-posses-
sion--When the evil spirit gets full
power and control of the will, and ig-
nores the human will entirely. This is
not always accomplished without more
or less of Il ruggle-sometime cover
ing years. In the struggle sometimes
through mediums, the spirits will seek
more and more the confidence of the
dupe. If he be inclined toward evil
the leadings will be that way. If he
have a religious tendency, he will be
counseled to pray or read the Bible,
then be chided, the object always be-
ing to bring him into full submission
of his mind, in a manner that none
should yield himself, except to the AL
mighty; whom the evil spirits some
times personate in their speech.

Try Walking.

From tie London Chronicle.
You have probably been puzzling over
the latest London traffic returns. with the
odd millions lost and won by train or
tram or omnibus. We are all going TO and
fro every day. and many of us pay large
sums to get out Of London and find our
exercise on golf links at the week end.
But with all the methods OF transit, by
air and tube. by steam and petrol. ly
bicycle and motor. there always returas
the old-fashioned method of walking. And
once again the walk to Brighton is to set
the world of workers on its two legs
again.
Now that SO many neglect their chances
of simple exercise. there is room for the
rest to take their morning walk to and
from business through the streets of Lon

week day walked from camberwell to his
place of business i'm St. Martins lane be-

lunched on a packet of sandwiches. and
dined at home. At the age of seventy he
retired to the country and took up lawn
tennis as hobby. and played a very good
game till he was eighty. He despised

the contestants place their respective five
dollar bills in the hand of the clerk and
proceed to write to some sporting editor.
You can tell that the winter league is
at it's height when the sporting columns
are filled with such appeals as these:
Sporting Editor: A bets that during the
game between the Bearcats and the Cames IN
1889 Jumping Jim Jackson stole three bases Il
bets it two. Which is right
There is no way for the sporting editor
to escape this request. He can gently
ease the letters of advice into the capa-
cious hospitality of an ever-ready waste
basket but he cannot for the life of him
dodge his position as general umpire of
the winter league.
There Is never an appeal for the deci-
sions of the sporting editor He is sup
posed, and rightly. too, to be possessed
of all statistics of the game from the

In the ring" echoed the first fan.
Yep. We'll find her in the ring and yell
ing for help while she tries to climb out

And so the debate goes. The winter
Lacquer never gets anywhere save oc-
casionally when he loses money after a
warm argument as result of one of
those letters. But the fact that every
fan gets a chance to argue is consola-
ton enough. Each fan--if he is a well
regulated fan-knows that he is a better
prophet and better manager of base
ball teams-not to mention a judge of
material-than any manager that ever
lived.
Now comes the story of the poem that

they have in abundance in the winter

legend. However. the fan who has the

Here it is" continued the poet, and he
read:
