Another interesting Sermon in
the Course at Triiniy
" 4 Episcopal Church
Rev. Frederick A. Coleman's topic
in Trinity Episcopal Church, yesterday
morning was. “The Devil as a Hin-
drsnce to Religion." ’Hia text was
from St. John ii. 80: "The Prince of
this world." Mr. coleman's introduc-
tory included a recital of the snsres'
laid by the devil with consummate
skill. showing how be arranged his
allurements. baited his traps with ease
and pleasure. and masked the outcome
so as to beguil e
I,.‘Coiitiliuliig. Mr. Coleman said in
”The teaching of Christ Himself on
this subject is very clear and to the
point. He endorsed the popular Jew-
ish belief of His time and acted more
than once as one who at great spir-
ltuai crises had conflict with a person-
al agent of evil known as the devil
The personality of‘the devil is fully
proved by Holy Scripture. where fre-
quent allusions are made to his exist-
ence, nature and work. under various
titles and names. Our Lord endorses
the idea of a personal devil and ex-
pands the idea so as to almost fully '
reveal what he is.
There are many names given to this
person in the Bible but there are two
especially by which we designate him
and by examining these we shall lust
see the nature of the obstacle which
he places in our way and laterposee
between us and the realisation of our
religious ideal and true aim. "The will
of the Lord be done." To call that evil
spirit which we speak of by the names
of Devil or listen shows us that our
attention is invited to particular as.
pacts of his- assault for which we must .
prepare and arm ourselves. in his
roles of the Devil, that is. the slander-
er. and Satan. that is. the adversary.
we face him in the most formidable
ones. And to these two i now turn
your attention.
The Devil. the slanderer. in this
character he assumes three roles or
characteristics. First. as a slandarer
of God to man; secondly as a slender
er of man to (led. and thirdly as
slanderer, of man to man.
As a slandcrcr of God to man. This
is the first role he assumes in the
lllble. “And the serpent said unto
the woman. Ye shall not aural die.
1"or (led doth know that in the d’ayye
1st thereof. then your eyes shall be
mound. and ye shall be as God. know:
.nn good and evil." Here the Devil is
trying to persuade live that death is
not, the penalty for disobedience but
only a scare to frighten away from
the fuller onloymcnls of life. and that
if there be a fall it will be a fall up
ward and not downward; sn‘increase
of knowledge is the best answer to
any such petty restriction. It is a
slander tom lm it the relationship lie-
tween (led a man and as religion is
a personal relation betwedn man and
a personal (led any effort made to to»
pair that relationship is slander and
sin. and that is that what the Devil
sets about to do. This is easy to see.
but it_ls not so easy to see the subtle
figure which stands before the oath
of life which a man has decided to
follow as the best way for him to do
ind work for his God. Neither is it
mite so easy to detect the baaeful in
tissues which strives to make as dis-
trust our God. and to deny His provi-
dential care for each and every one
‘li us.
We can see his influence again when
We notice how many are asking what

ihouid. and not what He has said:
