Text: Those Angels Which Kept
Not Their First Estate.-Jud. 6.
(By RICHARD J. HILL.)

Cdi illo atmosphere Is lultblCu WIFI
evil spirits is now generally disbe-
lieved as result of this disbelief
thousands of well meaning people
are being more or less easily in
trapped by these evil spirits. The
blight is both physical and moral;
the usual method of procedure by
these spirits is 10 arouse curiosity,
when the quest for knowledge pro-
| cedes, and influence much like that
of hypnotism affects the investiga.
tor, impelling him forward to fur
ther investigation. SOMETHING'S The
curiosity is attracted through the
outer senses at spiritualistic meet
ings with Ouija Boards, etc.
At other times it is by Spirits
rappings. Again, it may be whiS-
perings in the ear audible to others
At other times the messages come
| through trance Mediums but in
every instance these communications
purport to come from dead Human
beings.
This of it's self gives to the COM
munication a special charm TO many
They fell honored in being sought
by the dead and in being able TO
communicate will, them, they arc
curious for information respecting
.he hereafter. Not infreduently do
| these spirits personate the Heavenly
Father and Christ and urge more
prayer and accuse sin and reco-
nend the reading of the Scripture.
this appears TO be with view 10
gaming the confidence of the will.
But later on dishonorable sugges.
!ions are made. The Bible is scorn-
ed, prayer is laughed at. If, then,
the subject takes fright and seeks
TO break the hypnotic chains, the
evil spirits laugh at him, swear al
him, and some times tell him that
they will shortly have him fully in
their power to roast him forever
If he attempts to pray they intrude
and interrupt and tell him that Goo
will not hear him now, that he ha;
gone too far, etc. With some, tho
matter goes so far that the human
will is broken down completely ant

do not claim that all of the insane
are obsessed of evil spirits, but 81
! far as We can judge, nearly one hal

God, through his word has fore
