l don't know when the devil first
started going to church but he went
to church in Jobs time and he has not
missed meeting since. The devil
is as sure to be at church as Sunday

a thunderstorm.
The Lord said Devil where did

Lord Calls DEVILS
Attention To Job.
The devil said, From walking to
and fro and up and down on the
earth" GOSH / feel we have got
him on the run now.
But You see how scared he is. The
devil is more frightened in this old
town than he has ever been since he
encamped here on this old city.
And the Lord called the devils at
tention to Job and he said. "Have you
considered my servant. Job? Have
you noticed him. devil?" oh, the
irony of it. Have you noticed him,

once read of a man who was
travelling in Q strange country and
he went down the road and saw
beautiful little cottage standing in the
midst of cluster of trees, with q
spacious lawn and flowers here and

rolling on the grass and a happy moth

he saw great big devils tearing around
to beat the band, sweat rolling down
their faces and on he went and he

the road and met a devil as big as
a touring car.
The devil said, "Wait minute,
stranger" He said, Hurry up
Devils Try To
Catch Christians.

Il am stranger and saw
little house and seven big devils tear
ing around to beat the band and /
came down to great big band and
came down great big magnificent
building and there is one little devil
up there and he was asleep. Can you
explain that to me, sir?"
The big devil said. "The best and

does not believe in Jesus Christ, and
one little devil can watch that gang
and he can sleep half of the time,

Now, are you a pastor of a church

me and beat it.
Have you noticed my servant,
Job?" That gets me, gets me every

keeping his eye on Job. He turned
to the Lord and said,
Does Job fear God for naught?
No wonder he trusts you You

Oh! yes, Job served God when he
had naught. Job was as religious
when he was poor as he was in his
plenty and because he was religious
