beginning of "blessing—release from
some' of our dar&ftgfcs.- The ^feeing of
the true wage of sih—that it is death
and not eternal torment—is one of* the
most important ^features connected
with our enlightenment. When we
learn that. the. dead are really dead
and, as the Bible declares, will not
know anything Until the resurrection,
then we begin to see the beauty of
God's Plan—the need .of Christ's death
the need of His second coming the
need of His Kingdom the need of-a
resurrection the need oif an opportu
nity for all mankind to come to a clear
knowledge of the great Truth of' re

and the opportunity then, by God's
gJCace, of attaining eternal life—either

Jesus Cast Out Devils.
Our great Redeemer manifested his
power by casting out1 demons from
those who had become obsessed. And
we read further that he commissioned
his Apostles to heal all manner of dis
ease and to cast out unclean spirits.
Wfc are]- told that they did this^-and
numerous instances, in illustration, are
given us. One" man was obsessed by
a legion of these spirits. No wonder
the poor fellow was crazy. But after
they were cast out he was clothed and
in his right mind and beicame a disciple
(Luke vili," 26-36).
