notwithstanding the anti-Christ has tried with all his wisdom and powers in order to destroy the faith of the true christian and to stop up his path, but the great path and -way of christians leads right from hell to heaven. Isa. 16; John 14: 6. Now here is the wisdom of the anti-Christ. St. Math. 7: 15. "Because of false prophets which came to you in sheep's clothing, but in word they are ravening wolves: and again hear St. Paul on this subject. 2nd Thess. 2: 1, 8, 12; 2d Pet. 2.

The sons of men when the light was small in the world, went among weak minded people, and then from behind the door of darkness, brought out his bible, and it is only warranted of men and not of God, and that is the reason there is no light.
