Grounds for Belief Found in the Bible and He Says that Paul Expressed Fears of This "Devil."

JESUS WAS TEMPTED BY PERSONAL DEVIL If One Does Not Believe This Then He Must Hold Christ , Was Tempted by Own Sinful Ambitions. ' Program for the Week. 3:30 p. m., Friday.

That there is a personal devil and that he has many devices to keep or win men away from Christ was the purport of the sermon preached on Wednesday night by Evangelist Mahy at the East Main Street Friends' Church. His authority for believing there la a personal devil he secured , from the Bible, .where he found .many passages making references to such a personality and especially so In the teachings of Christ and In the writings of Paul. It was shown that Paul believed la a personal devil and that he was afraid of him. Mr. Mahy expressed hla surprise that some, men are willing to accept the teachings of the Bible on other subjects but sneer tt f&a axIiUaceof a personal devIL XZUoJm aayeweetaHjL..jaaHj: Bant spirit and clearly and explicitly assigns to him a personality, and he declared that if you take the personal devil, out of the story of the temptation of Christ, you either reject It entirely or believe Jesus waa tempted of hla own sinful ambitions. "I can't believe that of my Lord." .said the speaker. Devices ef the Devil. Having established the existence of a personal devil the apeaker then told of some of the devices to bring about evil. One of them Is to cast a doubt on the word of God. This was tried on Eve la the Garden of Eden and worker so well that the devil baa been trying It ever since. This doubt gets Into high places. Into the professors' chain aad Into hooka. The devil puts a question mark after everything. Another of hla devices Is to transform himself Into an angel of light and his aagela Into advocates of the gospel. This, said the speaker, will account for the great following that la secured by false religions. The devil Is back ef the whole business la the category of false religions, the apeaker put Christian Science, Spiritualism and Uattarlanlsm and declared that Chris tian Science baa no regard for Christ aa the Christian knowa him. If these religions would leave the Bible alone and start a new religion, the Chris tiana might not have so much to say. But when the foist It on us on the strength of our own Bible, It la time to resist The speaker declared that many follow craxy fada until they become useless to the church and to society. " - ., Another device of the devil Is to blind the eyes of unbelievers to the glory ef the gospel for fear they will believe aad be saved. Then he fills pople'a minds with bis own glittering , views. One of the devil's ways Is to He throws light In your eyes

until yon are dasaled and then atlckaitlso charged .with swindling two Bal

They hinder the church and hold her back because they are put there by the devil for that purpose and work over time. The devil puts wicked purposes aad wicked plana into men's hearts. then lays a snare for them. Then he seeks to destroy by unusually fierce , temptation every man and woman who promises to be especially useful to Jesue Christ and he hinders and opposes the, work of God's people by every ageacy la hla power. To offset the devices of the devil God has given some clear warnings end they Include being sober, being watchful, neither give place to the devil, submit to God and resist the cavil, "for your adversary, the devil, Cxa about like a roaring lion seeking wissa ho may devour.'

It waa only necessary for her to take a few strokes all of which were to her humiliation. to Indicate conclusively that as a skating costume the Greeclan robe has the Parisian hobble beaten to a "fragile." Going waa so arduous that was necessary for her to be pushed by the crowd much to their enjoyment It was almply a matter of "hope for the best" In making the turns. ' The opening waa most auspicious for an excellent aeaaon although some surprise waa evidenced by the regular attendants that there waa but one or two musical selections rendered by the old. familiar stationary harmony machine.

WHITE PLAGUE WAR JS&N IN EARNEST

Women's Clubs in Indiana Are Taking Active Interest in the Sale of the Seals Over This State. The selling season for Red Cro?s Christmas seals has opened throughout Indiana and several hundred thousand of the little stickers have been distributed to local agents from the Red Cross Bureau, at 246 Federaf building, Indianapolis. . The selling campaign is being conducted by the same committee which has had it In charge In former seasons, : it, being made up . by Noble C. Butler, chairman; Rowland Evans, secretary,, and James W. Lilly, treasurer, the operations of the bureau being directed by Lannes McPhetridge. Thia . Is the third year that the Red Cross Christ mas greetings have been sold In In diana. The proceeds go to the Red Cross fund for combatting tuberculosis in this state. ; The sales the ..first year amounted to about $4,000, aad last year reached $7,800. The Indiana committee has expended the funds by erecting colonies of frame cottages for the fresh air treatment of tubercular patients, the cottages being on the city hospital grounds at Indianap olis, South Bend, Frankfort, Vincennes and Evansville. The commit tee hopes that as the sales increase from year : to year to establish the colonies in all of the larger cities of the state .where local organisations will be willing to look after the wel fare of the patients. The first con signment of stamps for Richmond arrived today. ' In addition to the colonies, .many In dividual patients have been treated at the expense of the Red Cross commit tee in, sanitariums, and several ,are now receiving attention at these Insti tutions. Since it was first organised the committee has been able to help many victims of the plague to a "permanent cure. Members of the commit tee say that they are anxious to make the Christmas seals money go as far as : possible toward wiping out the plague, and they will help any deserv ing patients that are brought to the attention of the Red Cross. ' Change Name to Seal. The Red Cross haa changed the name of the little sticker from "stamp" to "seal" the change .being regarded as necessary since so many ; people year after year use them under the impression that they take the place of. postage stamps in sending letters and parcels by mall By adopting the name of "seal" the Red Cross hopes to get entirely out of the public mind the idea that the seals will pay postage. Another step in this direction will, it is understood be taken by the postal authorities in requiring the seals to be placed on the back of letters and parcels, Instead of on the address side. The CbriBtmas seal for this season is brighter than those of other years, the Red Cross, the central figure 'of the design, being especially conspicuous in its setting of green leaves. The inscription reads: "American Red Cross, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year." A much stronger selling force is being organized over the state In the hope of largely increasing the sales this Christmas "season. Mrs. : Grace Julian. Clarke, president of the Indiana Federation of Clubs, has sent a letter to about 240 presidents of local organisations asking that they ' form Christmas seals committees to promote the sales in their communities. "The effort of the Red Cross to combat tuberculosis in Indiana is a splendid philanthropic work." Mrs. Clarke's letter says, "which seriously needs the active help of our clubs. It can be made broader and mere effective by giving the Red Cross our co-operation and the time la at hand to show our willingness to do so." The local1 presidents are now sending the names of their seals committee chairmen to the Red Cross Bureau, and through them the seals will be on aale In a number of Indiana towns not reached last year. The Red Cross has asked over 1.000 fourth class postmasters in Indiana to take the seals on consignment and several hundred have agreed to do so. This will get the seals on aale In general stores in the small towns and villages for the first time where they will he brought within reach of farm as well as town people., . , CHILD SWALLOWS PIN 'Lafayette.
