As I did so. a Parisian approached me and said. "Do you not see something amusing op there.' "No." I said, "It seems to me ail relig­ ions."' Inwardly I was asking myself, is this an atheist, or is he making a fool Of me? "Do you see those figures?" he in­ quired. pointing to a group representing a soul being weighed in the balance to see if it be found wanting. "You observe an angel standing on one side and Satan on the other. Satan seems as if he were watching to s^e if there was fair play." "Yes," I answered but I fail to see any­ thing amusing in that." "Just look un­ der the scales." he replied. I looked, and there underneath was a little imp hold­ ing up the scale. That is the way Satan gives fair play. A man says "I will re­ form. I'll uu'nd my life. Til give up drink." "All right," says Satau, and he seems to stand aside and give you fair play. Do not trust him. He has some f/' t' unseen imp against you. If it be not ^ ' strong drink, it will be some other sin. „" i The only way to get clear of all these is * . to get Christ beside you; his power and , grace will outweigh all the evil influences of Satan. . i ' |vfe - m it* ' \ * ,im ; - ' F.
