THE TRANSPORTATION
OF THE ANGEL OF GOD

Lying wars aud rumors Of wars il
divers and different places seem to bG
the order of the day, but as long as tret
frogs sing we may look for showers o.
rain. am not surprised at wars anC
rumors OF wars, nation against nation
aud kingdom against kingdoms wheT
the little tree frogs stop prophecyIna
and go to lying, who formerly were
beautiful angels of God, first against
the Holiness Church. the Holy Ghost
the power of God unto salvation, but
we are taught this little prophet was
cast out Of heaven for lying and making
war with the Saints of God, that with
his tail drags down the third part oil
the stars OF heaven. But having lost
his tail in the fall or transformation he
was forced to devise this way of deceiv-
ing and dragging down the Church OF
which Christ is the head. This is why
he IL sometimes called dragon, but
never did know he was in the like
ness OF a little harmless tree frog, and
owing TO the popularity OF the event
some way doubt his transformation.
But however strange this may seem
We have Bible evidence that he was
|
ing war on the saints, and we must take
this as conclusive evidence that he is
| here somewhere, in some place, in the
same business. Paul says he was a
liar to begin and will be till time shall
end, and when be would do good he
was always present.
| So we find him present at the Holt
ness Church devising and formulating
| other ways and means Of deceiving and
| dragging down the Saints, by and thru
the immortality of the world at the
same time trying to build himself up at
the moral expense of good people, but
we are not deceived by the little tree
frogs in the trees. But this should be
a lesson TO all the good people outside
or inside the Holiness Church, as we'll
as all others, to pay heed to what they
hear or see lest they be deceived.
l with the rest must confess that my
eyes have deceived me, for | have al
ways admired and respected this little
frog, not SO much for his beauty as for
his usefulness, the most harmless as
we'll as the most indispensable of the |
frog kingdom, but never did | think my |
eyes would deceive me. | always test
fraud from personal experience and OBJ
servation having confidence that my |
ewes would not deceive me but can no
longer depend upon them. l always
had confidence in them as we'll as this
little frog, for when the world was in
need OF rain liked to hear this little
frog sing, but since he has stopped
prophecyiDg and gone to lying we know
the end of time is nighing. But let all
ye Saints of God rejoice because you
know himby hisvoice. Weep notfriends,
shed not single tear because tree frog
time is growing nea Cheer up, sub
S rbers, l rejoice to know this frog
must reap just what he sows. When
you sow good seed feel not alarmed.
This little frog can do you no harm
when the harvest is ripe. The little
frog is grieved because he cannot go to

God says when | am with you, you
need not fear" for these little frogs can
never come near. He says when l am
near you no man can harm, much less
the tree frogs that sing around our barn.
This controverted question in regard to
mis- form is forever settled and nobody
harmed. We know he is Il liar, for
when he used to sing he said he was a =
prophet aue hollered for the rain. Now
we know that Paul is right He says
IN his little toast he was not hollerlng
Tor the rain, but a shower OF the Holy u.
Ghost. We should all be glad to know
