sinner places as a God in place
Of God. Now We are all sinners
we all have this potential egp,
He only got so far away from the

Audrey, he had it under control.
truth and the right. He only er-
red little as we usually do.
But Sal and all her tribe and
his false friends played upon the
devil within him or shall I say
this false ego until they encour-
aged him to think he was God
rather than to Worship God. And
he was Oh the way to destructiin.
Those jealous Of him wanted to
destroy him. Those friends who
encouraged him to do the wrong
thing wanted to use him. They
continually lied about Audrey
and broke his confidence in her
by misinterpreting everything
she did. This was SO that they
could use his money, his inmlu
ence and his. worldly goods in
order to build up themselves.
They were always Of the inferior
variety who couldn't do him any
good HANGERS os. Those who stood
for something, were gradually
losing confidence in him.
Onnly Audrey remained faith
full because of her past associar
ton with him, because of hih
kindness to her family, because
Of their early life. Only she held
strongly to the belief that through
experience he would change and
would get tired Of his evil ways
before it was to late, And such is
love which doesn't die unless it
is actually killed.
She had heard that nancy jeal-
Gus people had plotted against
them when they were the hap

would tell that would make him

ed friends, licking their chops.
In the meantime they fawned
upon him, listening to his lies,
planning parties for him so that
he would look foolish and encour-

the meantime, they awaited his
ruin. They didn't care about her.
