The Devil in a Gentleman’s Guise

By P. S. Henson

THE devil does not walk abroad as he used to, with horns and hoofs and a forked tail, and a breath that smells of brimstone, but he comes in the guise of a gentleman, with eyeglasses on his nose, encyclopedias under his arms, and the learned lingo of philosophy on his lips. He does not squarely and impudently affirm that there is no God, but shakes his sapient head, and shrugs his shoulders, and says he doesn't know, and he rather suspects that nobody knows.—P. S. Henson, D.D.
