thev.were ashamed of Him. and that

; ati they read my soliloquy; : :Vt
IwaVpleasecJ at' what they aid:r-
That the I.deyil- coald. fay what he
pleated, that' the preacher could
urge, and praying- members could
plead, but they , wouldJ hot pray in
public,' nor spea't for Jesus in meet
ing. : -i V , ' .,v
I was quite certain that I told the
truth. 1 took the rounds on prayer
meeting, night to see what the preach
er wished would be granted. Not
one of the non -praying members
grayed or, spoke in meeting. Not
one of the new converts took part in
Please, Mr. Cburchraerhber, do
not again accuse the devil of lying.
I thought I would go around and
see how the different preachers view
ed ray soliloquy. As I entered their
studies, and leaned over their shoul
ders as they read,, I .heard each
preacher say: The devil hits hard
but lie is telling the truth.
Each preacher declared; that he
didn't dare to tell his people this , for
his bread and butter, his salary, de
pended upon keeping his mouth
closed.
I do not mean that these preach
ers are .preaching just for their sal
aries, but they know that they can
not get these non-praying members
to pray, so what is the use of their
stirring up the opposition of thesa
members?
I rejoice in this state of religious
attairs for it makes good the fact
that such members are my subjects.
Once I trembled when I ,was in
- .a
one preacner's stuav. 1 saw nim on
his knees and beard hint PJ
"Lord, may the devil prove to be
a
liar. May these non-praying, these
silent disciples, pray and speak in
meeting."
If this preacher's prayer should be
answered, and all church members
should openly pray and speak that
all hell would tremble, my power
would be gone, that I would be
bound by a chain, and I be cast into
the bottomless pit.
I tremble to think of having my
power shorn from me.
Why, the world would soon be
converted to Christ. But these
church members do not propose to
pass out from under my rule Just to
please the preacher or Christ..
1 still say that I have more in
fluence over "church members: than
Christ has. I still say that they will
not pray in public I still say that
they are not dead in love with Christ.
I still say that they are more afraid
of man than they are of the displeas
ure if Christ.
I can prove that by their own
scripture?. I once quoted scripture
to Christ when, I tried to tempt him
m the wilderness, and I gat the
worst of it. I quoted it wrong, so I
did not try again. But now I'm go
ing to try again; this time I will
quote Christ's own words, and quote
it correctly, too: "By, their fruits. ye
shall know them." There; that is
correct, ;. and that is proot that these
church members are my servants,
. But " . some cne will .say: "Mr.
Dattt,. aren't you afraid to speak the
truth on, this subject tor fear oi los
