When and How Satan Fell.
The Pastor stated that the Bible ex
plicitiy declares Satan's sin 10 be pride
and improper ambition. Seeking to
usurp Divine p~rer0gatives, he cnsnared
himself and rebelled against God. His
ambition found no opportunity for ex.

Satan took advantage of the test Of
loyalty which God put upon our first
parents. obsessinG the serpent. he
guided 1t continually TO eat Of the for
hidden tree. The serpent not only did
not die. but was the wisest of beasts,
thus seemingly giving the lie to Gods
statement. "Thou shalt surely die"
The Pastor thinks 1t unnecessary to
suppose that the serpent spoke audi

Eve was convinced that the Divine
Law was selfish. and that the forbid

beloved wife would die. he preferred

His death sentence might be executed.
Satan Adopted Another Plan.
Disappointed in that humanity were
perishing, Satan formed another plan.
He would cope with God by injecting
new life into the human race. He
would have an empire. despite the Ri
Vine will.
To do this he proposed to the angels

contrary to their nature. To those
who objected that this might displease
God. Satan presented the argument
that II God really possessed the power,
He would have punished him. for he
had been an enemy of God for some
time. The argument was successful.
