.Seren Devils
Mark 1919. Now when Jesus
was risen early. the frst day OF the
week He appeared frst 10 Mary
Magdalene out of whom he had cast
seven devils
81 do Lot know the nature OF Mary
Ma gdal.ne's afiiiction. whether II was
physical, mental. or both. She was
greatly AFFLICTED by these demons
They NO doubt had her under their
control Christ cast them out OF her
and she became a fervent. favored
follower of Him. There are some
who try TO connect her name with an
immortal life. but ! find no evidence
OF this. She was one OF the women
who evidently had means. for she
r,1inistered unto Christ. She was
anon. the women who stood afar
off and witnessed 1.-The scene of the
Srucifxion of her Lord She was one
OF the women who brought SWEEP
spices 10 annoiut his body. While We
do not know the nature OF Mary Mag
tdaleae.s sorrow and affiiction We do
know that the work of the devn IL
to keep people away from Jesus
Christ and TO lead them captive at
his Will. | shall mention seven devils
that are holding people from Christ
and they are 10 be driven out.
Devil Of Greed
The devil OF greed The devil Of
greed to get wealth has no con
science. II does not care for rich or
poor. for mother. brother or neigh
Dor. Before any person is saved. this
devi! must be cast out. II has pos
session OF them body and soul Be
cause they are afraid they may be
poor when they are old, they keep
themselves poor now. They are starry
ing their souls on the husks OF the
devil. They are selling their souls
for mess of pottage and they VIII
seek il again with tears when it can-
not be found How true il is that
those who seek 10 be rich are pierced
through with many sorrows ana
that the passion for wealth is drown
ing men in perdition TO get rich at
any cost. Many a man thinks he can
make more money without Christ BY
his dishonesty. than TO be honest
with Christ He is willing TO increase
his income at the expense of his soul.
/ know many who are rot Christians;
they are, honorable and upright in
their business but the pleasure and
excitement OF their business keep
them away from Christ. If man
cannot succeed in making an honest
Christian living. let him go TO tn"
poor hors-: il would be better than
10 sell his soul for greed. There are
lot OF people who are determined
10 get rich at any cost.
Causes Fraud.
Greed is driving people to op-
press. o defraud. 10 embeZZle and 10
plunder their neishbors. What shall
it profit a man if he gain the, whole
world and lose his own soul?'
The second devil is the fear of the
man Tine Bible says the fear of man
bringeth snare. Some of you would
like TO walk right out for God. but
YOU are afraid of what some wicked
person might say about you Some
of Won have an honest desire TO live
a Christian life. We have your SYM
patty. You have been giving TO ths
support OF the Gospel and 10 this
proposition but you have let others
" no are of the devils crowd keep you
from doing Your duty
The third devil is pride. believe
there are hundreds of men and we-
men in this community who are kept
away from Christ by their pride
They are TOO proud TO let any one
know they have serious thought
about themselves. They are too
proud 10 let any one believe that
they think there is reality in the re
lision of Jesus Christ Your life may
the awful depths and blight OF sin
as some know il. but you will have TO
20 through the same door as all who
are saved. Jesus Christ. II the devil
has been successful along any line
With YOU. it has been to put strut in
your heart over the thought that you
think YOU are taller in intelligence
and made OF little higher grade of
clay.
Skeptic Devil.
The fourth devil is skepticism.
The fact that some men deny the
power OF Jesus Christ does not prove
anything. That does not take one
ounce of power from him. The fact
that some men scorn the Bible thae
rebukes his sin does not destroy one
SYLLABLE of the Word OF God. l have
made il a rule TO fnquii6 into the
lives of men who scorn Gods word
and I have never known the rule 20
fail that the one who rails at the
