Do Not Parley

IN the matter of temptation, the only safety lies in immediately and with all the soul resisting the enemy. He who pauses to parley will nearly, if not always, yield. The devil is not wise, but he is exceedingly crafty, with the cunning of all the practise of the centuries. Truly it would seem that man from his own reason would know that he had no shrewdness of his own to meet the prince of craft. The only thing which will meet his wiles is wisdom — such wisdom as is based on the fear of God. And having the fear of God, no one will stop to parley with evil.
