Shal! thou and thy son be with me

the host of ISeral into the hands of
the PhiliStincS." The we'll inform
cd demons knew better than did
Saul, the strength of the PhiliStincs.
their position and their army, and
the weakness of Saul'S position and
army, and that Saul was already
panic stricken and would be easily
defeated. Any one familiar with
the conditions would know that one
days battle would probably settle
the question and that the logical re
suit would be that Saul and his sons
would be killed. Notwithstanding,
tie demons did not fully state The
truth for two of Sauls sons eScap-
ed and lived for years afterwards.
Some scholars even deny that the
battle and death of Saul occurred
the next day, but several days later.
We cite this as a Biblical incident
showing the manner in which the
evil spirits operate.
With reference to hearing Of
voices of what is supposed to be
those of dead friends and relatives
we wish to say that these demons
! having been in existence for long
| ages and centuries, and possessing
minds far Superior to human
minds are not only familiar with
present conditions but are familiar
with past conditions and the history
/ of the lives of people. 1t would be
al easy matter, therefore, for such
demons to imperSonate dead per
son and refer to events familiar
| only to the persons envolved, and
| this would serve a greater means
of deception. For the same reason
and by the same methods these de
mons are able to produce other
great phemonina, such as hand writ
inc the painting of pictures, the
productions of flowers, conveying
of messages by telepathy, voices and
other means of appearing to repre-
sent persons who are dead. That
they are succeeding in deceiving
many of the bright minds of the
earth and through these deceivingS,
vast numbers of people no one can
altempt gain say. Naturally these
fallen angels would put forth great
er efforts following a great war in
which millions of lives We're de-
stroyed. and millions of others re
naming on earth with sad hearts,
and having a keen desire to know
something of their dead friends.
Under such conditions millions are
falling victims to their deceptiouS.
But one may suggest, why could any
falling easy victims to their decep-
tons. But one may suggest, why
could any evil come from this? We
answer that back of every act there
is a motive and the motive is either
good or bad. If the motive is bad,
evil must result. Beyond question
thesa demons are evil All their
thoughts are wickednesS. The chief
amongst all the devils is Satan, the
father of lies, the great deceiver of
mankind, and the enemy of God and
, of Righteousness and of everything
that is good. Ono. 3; 4D. The first
