Satan is the arch enemy of God.
If we can keep the Devil out Of our

of our flesh, then we can win a

NO FIELD FOR COMBAT.

Rev. Johnson said Il pity the
man who takes this section Of the
Bible in Genesis as an arena for
scientific combat He commented
upon the discussion relating to the
origin of man and the contention
that he came through a process of
evolution from the ape or monkey.
We are not interested in where we
came from, but in where we are
going. Tell mankind that the wages
of sin is death. There are some who
say that this part of the Scriptures
is open to serious doubt.
THE SERPENT AND PUNISHMENT
They say that God did not punish
the serpent for he is beautifully
marked The snake does not eat
dust. He is a flesh eater. They ask,
Why should God punish the serpent
because the Devil took the form of
a serpent?" He drew an illustration
from the act of a forger and the
person, whose name was forged. God
could not rightfully punish the
serpent because Of these moral OBJ
iec ions. 1t was not upon the serpent
but upon the Devil. 1t means hat
Satan shall eat the dust. The king
dom of Satan shall he brought down
and THAT Satan shall lick the dust.
