Awful If the icene that meets uc
a» we go with our Lord across tha
aea of Galilee and draw up to the
ahore of the country of (he
Garlarenes. Distressing beyond
words Is the plight of the man who
Is under the power of a legion of
the demons of Satan; inspiring is the
Assurance that Christ is victor over
the devil and hie hosts, soul-search-
ing Is the disappointing picture of
the men as they evaluate their
brother’s spiritual need over against
personal gain.
The same mighty conflict between
the two great spiritual kingdoms,
of good and evil. God and Satan,
goea on in our day. Jesus Chriat
Is still “greater . . . than he that
U In the world” (I John 4:4). Equal-
ly true la it that we must eeeh one
of us choose what la to be our at-
titude toward the conflict, and es-
pecially toward the Christ
L The Fewer of Satan (vv. 1-5).
Foolish men sometimes speak
boldly about Satan as though ha
were only a weakling, or perchance
but a creature of legend.
The devil who is but one being,
operates through many evil spir-
its, or demons. They are every-
where active, and it appears from
Scripture that they seek a physical
body through which they may func-
tion. Demon-possession, which was
so common In our Lord's day, still
exists, especially on the mission
field There are some who believe
that the almost unbelievable cun-
ning and brazen wickednesa of mod-
ern gangsters is an expression of
demoniacal control
Spiritism la another activity
which seems to be the special field
of demons. It is evidently not al-
together a fraud, but rather the
■imulation of the dead by evil spirita
who are the familiar spirits of me-
diums. Christian people surely will
bsve nothing to do with such dan-
gerous and ungodly practices, and
others imperil themselves by every
such contact
The text graphically portrays
what becomes of a poor soul who
has gotten Into the dutches of
Satan. It la a dark and terrifying
picture known to us even in this
year of 1938. But thank God. there
is a way of deliverance.
It The Victory of '.irtst (vv 5-
It).
Tho command oi Jesus (v. I) evi-
dently preceded the cry of the de-
mons (v. 7). Notice that the de-
mons who bated our Lord bad no
doubts about Hie being the Son of
God. They knew Him. How strange
It la that many votcea that deny
His deity come from the pulpit
the professor's ehelr, or over the
radio, in the name ef Christianity!
The demons knew His power, also,
for though they adjured Him not to
torment them, they realized that
they must obey Hie command to
“coma out of the man.” They
asked permission to enter the swine.
The keepers of the swine fled to
tell the unmis. They end others
came to see what had happened.
They caw the demoniac seated,
clothed and In his right mind, “and
tew greatly rejoiced and magnified
fltir name of the Lord.” Did they?
No, indeadl “They were afraid''
(v. 48), '‘and they began to pray
Mn'la depart” (v. 17).
Why were they afraid? Two rea-

No one bnslnem is to complete in Itself that it can survive and prosper
alone. It requires modern bnstaeaa methods, good stocks of merchandise, and
advertising by its fellow business concerns to help keep it alive.
A half-desen concerns can keep a number of non-advertisers going a
while, but sooner or later the live-wire towns that are neighboring, will cut
in on the business.
Every town, to be progressive, most have a live newspaper, to keep the
community affairs to the front, and maintain fcnterest and pride in that com-
munity among its inhabitants.
The advertiser is helping maintain the newspaper. Without advertising,
the newspaper cannot exist. The amount of advertising used by the merchants
Is reflected in the quality of the newspaper.
If yon are neglecting to advertise, If you are Just ridding along—you
are taking unfair advantage of your follow businessmen. Ton are gamming

Why not start now by adding your strength to tho drawing power of
