Devil. Ha! Ha! Ha! My dear hal-
ser, do not get excited! Keep COOL
I know you we'll; better than you
know yourself. I am going TO tell
you some things that you DO no'
wish to hear. But you cannot help
yourself. | have already told you
[ that | hate the human race You are
human, hate you! Why? You aro
one of my enemies. will prove 1t
i to you by your own words.

How have I offended you? | have
done my best to please you I am
sure that ! have done a vast deal or
worq for you; and that you fully
approve my work.

You have pretended to be "divinely
Appointed" you have pretended to
walk with God; you have consorted
with my enemies, you have proved
traitor to me!
Kaiser Explains
Kaiser: I know to what you re-
fer. Let us pass over that for the
present. I will explain those matters
to your entire satisfaction. At my
suggestion the Turks have murdered
more than a million Armenians, in
cold blood, including women and in.
fants. I heartily approve these muir
ders. My only regret is the Turks
left "a trace" of the Armenians. In
brief, ! have ordered my armies to
rob, burn, blow up, kill and murder
Everybody except our beloved Aus
TRANS, Turks and Bulgarians. 1t has
been my purpose to convert the
"hole earth into one vast hell!
Devil: You have succeeded admir-
ably. am proud of you.
Kaiser as Deputy God.

often pretended to be "the divinely
Iappointed instrument of God" In

Whole of human life hinges simnlv
anu solely on our attitude toward
our Lord and Savior About the same
tlme you held a solemn service on
the summit of the Mount of Olives
