 MAKES SATAN TOPIC
 OF STRONG ADDRESS

satan preached the first sermon on the immortality of the soul that was ever delivered, said Elder A. R. San born, president of the Arizona confer ence, :. D. A., in sermon last night at the camp ground at Tenth street and Mcdowell road.
 Describing Satan and his work, MT. Sanboru said: Our text informs us that Satan was once a beautiful angel In heaven, but through pride rebelled against Christ and had to be cast out.
 He has delighted to instigate wars ever since. and now he knows his time is short and he redoubles his efforts to destroy men-to deceive them.
 tsOne of his favorite deceptions is to make. men believe in a millennium this side Of Christ's return. He would have us believe the world is getting better, while God says, Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse
 The devil has always contradicted God, as in Eden, when God said to Adam. Tn the day thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die and Satan sa i'd. Thou shalt not surely die IL was he that taught men to believe they are immortal
 Speaking of the binding of Satan a thousand years, the speaker continued, Satan is to be bound a thousand years here in this world. Christ will first come and translate the righteous living and raise the righteous dead. taking
