ON HIS SATANIC MAJESTY
Declaring that there is a personal
devil and that he has no horns or clov
en feet, but sometimes even appears
in Prince Alberts with high vests and
while neckties, Dr. White last night
made a striking presentation of the
third chapter of Genesis, in which Sa
tan is introduced to the world. Follow,
ing this the Bible reading covered the
following: The nature of the devil, his
power, hit cunning, hit present sphere.
his present work, his ministers, how
the devil interferes with the servants
of God in his work, how all unsaved
men and women are under hi power.
Ihe origin of Satan, his destiny and the
duty of Christians. Be sober and
watchful; give no place to the devil,
and use the means of grace to Hand
against him. .
Some statements: "No Christian
government will ever vote million! for
hmirder. The devil is shaping the bust
nest and politic! of the world. One
thing I am athnmed of wat the casting
of a vote for Rootevelt."
