Recovered from a sickness of any kind, lie must kill a Molumedan. If he is a braver man he will be a better devil worshiper if he kills himself afterwards. In shaking of the following, his satanic majesty, I have used the jrsonal pro noun of the masculine gender because in Persia the women are not supposed to have a soul, unless they are successful in stealing one from a devil worshiper when he is praying. In which caso the man loses his soul and the benefit of his prayers. This is done by bimply tjuch lug a niin while he js at his devotions. The devil worshipers meet once a day jn a little kind of a knoll, where they ...in i i !1 ,t i rf.-r inn !irl in n. place in the open air set apart for this particular purpose. They kneel around (jO the ground so as to form a circle each man wjUi his gun by his side and if at any time while praying they should bee a woman approaching the one who sees her 11 rt , rises and takes his gun and shoots her, and then kneels down and goes on with his prayers. In thiscounrt y it is different, the women are treated differently. They are supposed to have as much soul to save as men and in all religions and in every thing in their field sae that of politic s the doors standing open to her as well an the men. Yet this Persian gentleaien who understands all the doings of t:i3 devil worshipers in his own country, says we have devil worsh ipers here only we dont call them that. Saturday night July 17th demonstrated this fact with out any further argua- ment. In foriegn countries where the people worship any one but our God the people are heathens. Here the people worship the same way and are called christians. There is some difference between the devil worshiper here and tliosa of Persi. In Persia the devil worshipers publicly proclaim their allegiance to thei rsatan ic host aal are proui to own his lead ership. Here the people publicly denounce the ownership of such a leader, and con demn his works as infernal and openly follow in his wake while proclaiming their love to Christ and confessing him to be their one example. These people surely are not seeking the one way, "the right way, ilie only way" to serve God, and serve him right. But they have found one way and the true way to serve the devil and serve him well. From our county paper we learn that a saloon is soon to be opened here in U w.i. His satanic m.ijjsty in the s'lap of a .-a-loon keeper is coming from Crawford to settle in our midst. If he does ha will furnish an excellent opportunity for the people once more to take lessous in doing the works of the evil one and most especially for the little children whose tender minds are more impress ionable aiid easy moulded, will he furnish an ample opportunity to becoma thoroughly grafted in the devil's work, and the instruction they will receive at his hands are likely to 1m more lasting then any they shall receive at home, in the public school or in the Sunday school or church. Anil they will perhaps Iw prouder of his leadership than are chris tian people of this present generation. They will have the best chance of their life to learn the one way the only way and the rtif to serve the false prophet to Die best of their ability. We cannot serve God and mammon. We must serve one or the other. To serve God we must do his will and fol low in the path he has made for our guidance. But the only one path and that a narrow one, hot it grows brighter and brighter the longer we follow it. We follow mammon and the path is broad and bright at the commencing but it grows darker and darker the longer we follow and its end is darkness. Which way will you choose? There is one right way that leads to a perfect day. There is one wrong way that leads to death. BiTTEB Sweet. ' 1 (.rand Opportauity.
