Power of Satan Expected to Break Suddenly Under Blows Delivered by Christianity Last Battle With Evil Declared Likely to Be Fiercest in History of Church.
BT REV. BTROS J. CLARK.
Pastor First Vnited Brethren Church.
' "H hath saved urn. according; to his own
purpose and grace, which was rln n la
Chr4. Jesus before the world began."
3 Timothy. 1:9.
-t v ACK of nil that has ever been
t planned and executed by the
- ' divine mind is an eternal pur
pose. It Is but natural that man
should seek for the why and where
fore of the universe. Much of what
man seeks to know mar never be dis
closed to him. Man may never be
privileged to look behind the curta'n
and see all that God has purposed for
his creatures. But whatever that
purpose, if will be realised, eventu
ally. Satan maj retard, or delay, the
full accomplishment of God's purpose.
but he cannot thwart that purpose.
The little that we may discover
about the divine purpose can only
come through the Indirect teachings
and utterances of Jesus, as revealed
in his dealings with man. History,
both sacred and secular, reveals much
of God's purpose and plan. There
can be no profit to spy Into bis pur
pose. Just to gratify a morbid curi
osity. But If It enable us to apply
our powers for service in the most
effectual manner, then well and good.
Christ is secluded from the curious
and doubtful. He cannot be seen ex
cept by serious faith and unselfish
Inquiry. We may never fully dis
cover what the eternal purpose of
God Is. but of one thing we are sure:
That slowly but surely all things are
working toward the final fulfillment
of that purpose.
P rpoae la Manifest.
He who knew the end from the be
glnninfr. knows right where he is in
the midst of that programme. We
may be able to approach that purpose
somewhat by the process of elimina
tion, discovering some things that
evidently were not In his purpose.

Space now being available. It Is
convenient to give an outline of the
strange philosophy landing what is
called "liberty," found An the SS es
says that make up this volume.
Mr. Stearns poses as a young Intel
lectual who asserts that in the Unit
ed States it Is hopeless to try to
"foolproof civilization; and he as
serts that as htere are too many pro
hibitions and regulations In this
country. "Intellectuals" are forced to
go to Europe. Mr. Stearns' opinions
have such a ring to them that one
wonders after all if our author really
is not a humorist. That may explain
thinsrs. There have been occasions
in this country when an author, in or
der to get his articles printed, re
sorted to the expression of extreme
radical doctrine and opinions to
reach the public ear.
"The eighteenth amendment is but
a symbol of the times," Mr. Stearns
writes. "It stands. In fact, for the
prohibition of everything. In plain
truth, the whole country Is engulfed
In a flood of petty regulations of all
kinds, and energeUc organizations,
devoted to the task of meddling with
everything and seeing that every-j
body is as dull and stupid as them
selves, today hold the whip hand.

what frank and disconcerting eager

course, the young high school grad
uate of Topeka hat no desire to get
away, for he hopefully anticipates a
prosperous career of real estate spec

monstrous regiment of women In the
Mississippi valley tell him that he

It has been stated more than once
lately in the public print that delud

Mr. Ralph deserves credit for writ
ing such a helpful book in the Inter
est of the public health. It would
have been more beneficial, though, if
he had not. In making certain ex
p:nji:or.s In discussing new ways to
reach mental heaXh, used language
and phrasing which occasionally is
difficult to understand from the view
point of the ordinary reader.
It is easy to grasp the author's
.presentation of happiness, and the
evil effect of Its opposite, selfishness.

Everything that God has done, or is
doing, has a purpose. That purpose
was fully understood by him before
the world began.
God had a purpose in crea.lng the
earth and placing man upon it. That
purpose Is Delng revealed in the slow,
steady progress of revelation, as
manifest In his dealings with man, in
all ages and under all conditions of
his earth life.
It is very evident that God never
intended that the earth should ever
be the eternal abiding place of man.
God never Intended from the begin
ning that the earth should be more
than a temporary abode for man.
The sentence of death for disobedi
ence was not physical death, but
spiritual separation' from God. Man
wonld have passed through a change
similar to physical death, even
though he had never sinned. But
death under those conditions would
not have had Its terrors as we now
know It- The change would have
been so natural that it would have
been welcomed as a natural expectant
event In the course of human exist
ence. Penalties Are I-flleted.
It is the violation of the funda-
mental laws of life that is responsi- I
ble for the ignorance, the curse, the
selfishress, vanity, disease and cruel
ties that are existent on every hand.
It Is not an arbitrary affair with
God that it is so, but a fundamental
law that cannot be disregarded with
out its penalties. . The limitations of
human thought may forbid any view
of life beyond its own phenomena.
Secret things must remain secret
things until we pass our times of
probation and enter into the complete
fullness that God intended from the
beginning.
The eternal purpose of God is being
worked out In harmony with his '
fundamental laws of creation. The
ripened Christian faces death without
a shadow.- His dying couch carries
with It a fragrance of the better land.
God's eternal purpose Is seen in the
unconscious; the psychology of dis
turbing dreams; mental energy on
the rampage; will power while you
wait; mental concentration made
easy: looking for trouble; grubbing
for mind worms; infantile adults; a
treaty of peace; mental . gardening,
and building a new mind to order.
The reader Is advised by Mr. Ralph
in good and seasonable weather to
go into a boat or into a wood, to get
real solitude. Then, the patient Is
urged to "purge himself" mentally
"without mercy." Of course the pa
tient will feel better.
Pages are SIS. The appearance of
the book, especially In type and bind
ing, is excellent.

American readers are familiar with

Webster thus defines the word "Cre

from French or Spanish settlers of
Louisiana and the gulf states, and
preserving their characteristic speech
and culture."
Ms Bennett's "Madame Margot"
must be esteemed as a loved American

Madame Margot. herself, was a
beautiful woman. In Charleston,
where Margot lived with her daugh
ter, "the world was full of the sound
of sweet. fi,ute-llke voices of young
women calling after their lovers; and
the singing at small birds, made slen

cool myrtles. Life was simpler per
haps more childlike, though more pas

out a fault, unless it were a trivial
one. some 'peche mignon,' a guileless,
guiltless girlish sin like kissing one
self In the looking glass for lack of
another lover.
"Among the golden San Domingans
the loveliest of all admittedly was
Marguerite Lagolx. the milliner; by
her patronage Rita; by her familiars
Margoton; by envious rivalry Madame
Margot: and after all was over and
done, known merely as old Mother
Gogo. Hers was glorious physical
loveliness in its fullest maturity. It
was in an hour of inspiration the in
dolent god of beauty drew the lines
on which her body was built.
"Her passionate, rich-colored, hand
some face was like a line from an old
enchantment which took men's souls
captive, then cast them away without
the least regret, pr with a Clrean
spell turned them Into beasts. Her
neck was a deep-colored. Ivory tower
poised perfectly over her breast. The
dazzling, orange-tawney skin of her
broad bust turned to golden russet be
fore it reached her cheeks, and was
there flushed to dusky rose, like the
skin of a ruddy-gold peach.
"In the burnt splendor of her cheek,
the darkly eloquent blood in her veins
made its golden proclamation. Her
mouth was long and strangely curved,

finished work of redemption, as wit
nessed In the faithful, intelligent
consecrated Christian, who has been
regenerated by the power of the holy
spirit, lived his life and gone to bis
reward.
- The greatest achievement of man Is
not found in the realm of the ma
terial. He may be great as the world
Judges, but a minus quantity on God's
side of the ledger. As a result of
man's sin and the redemptive purpose
of God, man must pay the price of
becoming as God, or sink to the level
of Satan. God Is determined to re
deem man. physically, mentally, mor
ally and spiritually. In his process
of redemption God must begin with
himself and that part of man most
like him.
Man was created in the image and
likeness of God. That image is not
to be found in the physical form, only
in so far as that form may express
his handiwork as it is seen in all
creation, with man's body as only a
part of U. The divine Image Is to be
found particularly in man's spiritual
nature, his moral character, and his
mental capacity.
Therefore the saving process begins
with man's soul, and through t-hat,
eventually his body. God can save a
man's soul apart from his body; for
the body, even at best, was only In
tended as a temporary home for man.
God's purpose" is seen In the trans
formation of man's mind and soul
into the image and likeness of him
self. God is concerned in saving the
body as well as the soul; that is to
say he wants the body to function
naturally,- normally and happily in
the complete fulfillment 'of its pur
pose in creation, for the complete and
full term of its existence upon the
earth. j
Earth's Instruction Doubted.
Not only is God concerned in saving
man, .but he is equally concerned in
saving the earth upon which man
lives: his temporary abode. I can
not think that the physical, material
earth will ever be destroyed. It will
The upper lip was brief to a fault,
and curled back on Itself like a rich
pulped fruit which has parted In rip
ening. The full under lip cast a
heavier shade than the lips the old
masters chose, when they painted a
picture of the Madpnna, Her 'body
was cast In a glorious mold. She was
tall. In- figure perfect, and full of a
stately, tigerlike grace, the envy of
other women.
"In the sluggish grace of her heavy
lips and deep-lidded, brooding eyes,
she was as full of an indolent, sleepy
beauty as a midsummer afternoon.
Dressed in bright merino, crimson,
orange and blue, with a kerchief of
blood colored silk around her head
bound in oriental fashion, beads of
amber gold around her neck, and In
each ear a hoop of gold, she looked
like a great golden lily dusted with
sang-dieu."
Such is a sample of the remarkable
beauty of language of our author.
As for the incidents In the novel:
At first, beautiful Gabrlelle, daugh
ter of Madame Margot, is in a state
of pretty innocence, but as she ma
tures she loses In health, and asks
her mother about the meaning and
sensations of love. Her mother evi
dently has ' her own reasons In as
serting the duplicity of the masculine
sex, and warns her daughter to be
ware of all men. One day her ailing
daughter, walking in her garden, sees
a strange, beautiful youth to whom
her soul goes out as captive. The two
fall In love, and Gabrielle's form
swiftly reflects new beauty She
tells her mother she has a lover, and
the mother is filled with anguish.
Believing that her daughter Is in
peril, Madame Margot prays, in elo
quent and sobbing French, to God
asking for help. It seems to her
after a little while that God is far
from her, and that he has not heard
her plea.- Then she turns her back
on the crucifix, and says: "I will
call upon you no more."
A specter gases upon Margot, and
asks: "Why not try me?" It is Satan
He proposes to help her. She tells
him she wishes her daughter "should
be kept white to all eternity. For
this. I would give my soul." She
agrees. She gives her soul to Satan.
Gabrlelle begins to have astonish
ing adventures.

In a little more than two years or
so Mr. Hergesbelmer has not written
a new novel, but it now comes to
light that he has been busy at a new
novel which is just published. It is
called "Cytherea." and its text is
America of our day and love and pas

with these strongly-fashioned charac
ters: Lee Randon lost in the fascina

the silvery Mlna Raff of motion pic

again be an actuality. Not a dupli
cate of the old primitive Eden, but a
time is coming upon the earth, when
the "lion and the lamb shall lie down
together and a little child shall lead
them." A time when "none shall say,
"know the lord,' but all shall know
him from the least unto the greatest.
A time when the "kingdoms of this
world shall become the kingdom of
our Lord and his Christ." A time
when "wars shall cease, spears will

when one government will prevail
over the whole earth, one flag for

Inventions to Be Preserve.
I do not think that God will destroy
any good thing he has ever created.
Only that will be destroyed that man
has hopelessly perverted .by sinful dis
obedience until it cannot be saved.
Many things will be scrapped, no
doubt, that we think now are valu
able. But every scientlfio discovery,
every invention of man, every accom
plishment of his genius, that will or
can contribute to his real peace, pros
perity or happiness here in the earth
will be preserved.
The time may come when we will
have no further use for some of the

studies begin with Lincoln's youth
and last to his mature years.
Some of the author's views on Lin

creed, his great sermon, for Christ

other nations, brevity of speech, the
man who stayed with his jon, etc .

many extracts here given of Lincoln's

INSTITUTIONS' FOR ORPHANS
DECLARED MUCH IMPROVED
Persons in Charge Said in Most Case to Do Best They Can With
Resources Available for Children. '
BY SHEBA CHILDS HARGREAVES.
THE sad lot of the orphan child
has been a favorite theme for
melancholy poets and morbid
song writers since time began, but
the most that was done until recently
was the shedding of sympathetic tears
and letting it go at that. In fact, ten
der sympathy has been.,about all the
general public has 'been inclined to
give lonely orphans until the last few
years. But there has been, thank
Heaven, a quickening of the public
pulse which, has resulted in the founding-
of institutions for oaring ade
quately for homeiess children, as w-ejl
as leK&slation in their behalf.
This caring for homeless ch'ldren
is only 'one of the problems that con
front the nations of the earth which
are concerned with the lowering of
their rates of child mortality, but it
is a very large issue, for the death
rate among these children is much
larger than among those who are
reared by their parents. To reduce
mortality here means a great saving
of Httle lives, and with the general
spread of knowledge of child hygiene
will in a short time reduce the death
rate to a minimum.
Institutions Are Praised.
Too much cannot be said in praise
of the various public and semi-public
institutions for caring for home
less children. Of course there are
those who criticise .the methods of
these institutions--very often it is
those sympathetic Individuals who
wept so bitterly over the sad lot of
the children who do most of the crit
icising. But making due allowance
for human frailties, it is safe to say
that those who have the management
of these institutions are with the
rarest exceptions doing all that they
possibly can to care for the children
with the resources which they have
at hand.
The modern tendency in caring for
homeless children is away from in
stitutions rather than directly to
ward It. To be sure. Institutions will
always be necessary, but they will as
far as possible be only temporary
homes for children, where they may
be cared for pending the finding of
permanent homes - or returned for
medical treatment. In fact, the find
ing of foster parents for orphans is
carried on in connection with the
work of most such institutions. Of
course there are certain, types who
are beet cared for in institutions
feeble-minded children and those af
flicted with certain diseases could not
with safety to themselves or the com
munity be allowed to leave the spe
cial homes provided for them, even
if homes could be found.
Private Homes Tried.
The boarding out of children in pri
vate homes is being, tried out in va
rious places, but so far it has not
proven very satisfactory, but no doubt
this is owing to the lack of facilities (
for the rigid supervision which is
necessary to insure good care for the
children. President Roosevelt was a
very firm advocate of this plan for
caring for dependent children and
very likely the time will come when
such a system will be perfected. The
main fault with institutional care is
that the children lack mothering; in
spite of good care which they re
ceive, they take on the pinched,
starved look which is not found In
children In homes who have mothers

Many of the cumbersome and un

Better and safer methods of trans

When God is allowed to work,
mighty things are accomplished. Be
cause man's hands are used in per
forming a task, or man's brain, or
man's ingenuity is used. Is no sign
that It is not God who is working
out the problem. We are his Instru
ments to accomplish his tasks. If we
cannot be used then he cannot reveal
himself as he wishes.
The discovery and Invention of
telegraphy was heralded with the
message "Behold what God hath
wrought." When that great philoso
pher and mathematician declared that
he was only "thinking God's thoughts
after him" he had discovered a great
truth that no doubt made the heart
of God glad, and the angels around
his throne to sing "Holy, holy, holy
art thou Lord God Almig-hty. heaven
and- earth are full of thy glory."
There are some who seem to think
that God must fall before he can
succeed. That he must first suffer
defeat and falluretf his plans, then
try another until he finally finds the
one that will bring victory. Some
who seem to think that the world
must become more and more a terri
ble charnel house, or burial ground of
lost hopes, before God can redeem his
promise of "The seed of the woman
bruising the serpent's head."

not be all that they could desire and

There might be a suspicion that-this
is only a way of deceiving themselves
and others, perhaps they do not really
want a child aster all.
Of course It must be admitted that
there are grave risks attending the
adoption of children. TJhey may turn

power that is working In and through
man -for his complete destruction.
Poison has filled the whole earth; the
fountain head of man's life has been
infected; the heart has been turned
from God, and not until man willingly
surrenders himself to God for regen
eration will that condition change.
All history is but the story of that
struggle for mastery over the desti
nies of man. Sometimes it has seemed
that the "whole head was sick and
the whore heart faint" with the nau
sea from the corrupt putrefactions of
human nature. Men and women have
turned away from God; turned away
from the truth; turned away from he
light, to follow in the fox-fire of their
own imagination.
God' Voice Calls. '
God's voice Is callings-sis light is
sh-ining. Some are heeding his voice
and turning toward the light. Enough
to be,"yet. the salt of the earth, and
a. restraint sufficient to keep all
from going beyond hope.
There are enough good persona in
the world to save the world from
being completely engulfed by her own
wickedness. Enough to put jp.n the
brakes and save the rest of us from
a headlong tumble into the pit of our
own digging. If it were not for God's
people in the world today, that have
not bowed the knee to Baal or given
their sons in sacrifice to Moloch, or
worshiped at the altar of Mammon,
the world would be consumed by her
own iniquities. Elijah is not alone the
servant of GotJ; there are others as
true as he.
The fight is on, and will continue
to be on until Satan with his forces
surrenders. Sometimes the smoke
of battle is so dense that it is next
to impossible to discern friend from
foe. Satan's propaganda is being
spread insidiously among the camps
of Christ's followers, and many are
being deceived; their morale broken
until we wonder what the next move
will be. The hearts of men are being
tried and some are falling away from
the truth.
Satan's spies, have invaded the ranks
lng children into the world, because
there are taints in their lineage.
And it must be remembered In this
connection that scientists are rather
inclined! to discount the effects of
heredity lately and to place the blame
for defects in character more upon
environment, so taking everything
into consideration there is not much
more risk in rearing an orphan than
there is one's own chliM, no child
comes Into the world with an abso
lute guarantee of character.
There is this about the foster child
that is rather comforting to his par
ents, in case they have done their
honest best and he turns out badly
in spite of careful training. The
whole trouble for his downfall may be
laid to his tainted ancestry, while ir
their own flesh and- blood disgraces
them, it is disgrace, indeed, for It Is
due either to ancestry or to faulty
training or both, and it reflects upon
the family name.

of the church. They are' slyly sowing
the seeds of 'dissension. Many are
compromising themselves in conduct,
neutralizing their faith by yielding to
his crafty suggestions of neighborll
ness and. good will. His pose as an
angel of light has enticed many to lay
down the arms of opposition against
many of his cherished agencies. But
as soon as he is discovered -in his
real light and the evils begin to man
ifest themselves in the fruits they
are sure to bear there will be such a
revulsion from Satan, and a return
to Christ that the fight will be re
newed with mighty vigor.
Righteousness can never yield to
unrighteousness. God can never sur
render, to the devil. Satan is cun
ning and subtle, he may deceive for
a time, many may lose their souls
through his bewitching enticements;
some confusion may be manifest at
times In the ranks of the church; but
the church will emerge from the
conflict a victor, for the purpose of
its founder was "that the gates of
hell should not prevail against it,"
Satan will be permitted to work un
til he works his own undoing.
Satan's Defeat Kxp.ec ted.
I believe in the final tnlumph ol
right. One of the most sickening ex
periences is to yield faith to doubt
in regard to the final outcome of the
conflict between right and wrong.
Ever since Satan mystified Eve in
the garden and Adam was Influenced
by that same hypnotic power to lis
ten to his flattering proposals, he has
carried on his work of deception and
disaster in the affairs of men.
When the power of Satan is finally
broken, it will be sudden in its mani
festation. He will keep up the same
old appearance of power and reserve
long after it is broken. Even though
it is only a veneer front, he will not
yield until his complete collapse.
When Satan's power breaks and he
finally yields to the Inevitable forces
of righteousness, it will be a sud
den victory. It may have been slow
in coming, but as the reserve forces
deep seated prejudice against the so
called illegitimate child. As a matter
of fact, there la no such child he Is
the chlldi of Illegitimate parents and
in no way to blame nor affected by
their delinquencies.
Society is slowly but surely out
growing the tendency to- wreak ven
geance on innocents, as is evidenced
by the fact that such children readily
find homes in good families. For my
own part I would rather take such
an unfortunate child than one whose
birth was regular but, whose parents
were willing to abandon It to its fate.
If, any bad trait can be transmitted
rurely hardness of heart, which is in
grained in the very fibers of being,
would be the first to be handed down
to posterity. " I

of evil are being expended, the ac
cumulative power of Christianity is
increasing and the reserves of right- '
eousness will weep the earth in a
veritable flood tide of power, trans
forming in a day the places made
waste and desolate by the poisonous
tides of evil.
Satan will make his most bold and
desperate stand right at the very
close of his Influence and career, and
to many it will appear as though the
centuries of conflict had not weak
ened him. Then will God's kingdom
be set up In the earth and the golden
age will be ushered In.
The church of Jesus Christ will
continue her work as Christ's repre
sentative until Satan's kingdom is
broken. There is no power of earth
that can break the church, until her
task is finished. I think the time
will come when the church vlll cease
to function as such; but that time
cannot be until she has fully com
pleted her task, and God's kingdom
takes the place of earthly kingdoms
In this world. The church is not an
end, but simply the means to an end.
The church and the kingdom are not
one and the- same. When the king
dom age is ushered in the church
age will have passed away.
There are many signs of the near
ness of that time; co-operative Chris
tianity is one. The achievements of
science and the Inventions of man are
rapidly fulfilling many prophecies
that almost look like the morning
star of a brighter day.
I cannot think of Christ's second
coming as the end of the physical,
material world. To me all Bible
teaching on this subject, all prophecy
point to it as the end- of the age. the
time when a new age will be ushered
in, when -the Vlden age of prophecy
will be fulfilled, and the dreams of
ideal existence on the earth will be
come true. I can think of no better
privilege then to be alive on the
earth when that time comes. Evil
will not dominate as it does now. but
good will prevail and God's smile
will be seen in everything.
