“The Devil Saith Unto Him, It Is Written.”

The devil continues his ancient practice of quoting Scripture when he thinks he can turn it to good account for himself. Here is one of his latest attempts, through some of his subjects—an advertisement taken from the Providence Journal:

RAFFLE.

That splendid watch and chain, at the LAFAYETTE BILLIARD SALOON, to night, 13th June, at 8½ o’clock. “Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it shall be.”—St. John 19: 24.
Comment is unnecessary.—A. P. in Advent Herald.
