"DECEIVING AND BEING DECEIVED."

The first verse of Second Timothy, third chapter, reads, "This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come." And the thirteenth verse of the same chapter says, "Evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived." Not only are these "evil men and seducers" acting as deceivers, but they are "being deceived" themselves. They are deceived by the same deceptions with which they deceive others. And this gives an earnestness to their work that will greatly conduce to the production of the "perilous times" in these "last days."
