Satan is still at his original work of contradicting the declarations of God; and in this degenerate age he finds plenty of men and women to act as his advertising agents. In a description of a Spiritualist gathering, which we not long since read, occurs this declaration: “The balconies were tastefully decorated with mottoes, among which were, ‘The fear of the Lord is the beginning of folly.’” Also a specimen from “Christian Psalms Improved,” was given, as follows: “Broad is the way that leads to life,
And thousands walk together there;
But Error shows a narrow path,
With here and there a traveler.” We can account for the fact that men will utter declarations so bold and blasphemous as the first, and change a hymn to so utterly contradict common sense and our every-day observation, only on the ground that we have reached that perilous period in the last days, when men should be given over to strong delusion, and be left to believe a lie, and all the lies, and the boldest lies that Satan can invent. Has not the blasphemy of apostates and skeptics about reached its hight? “Walk while ye have the light lest darkness come upon you.”
