Many titles are given the devil in the Scrip ture—the father of lies, the dragon, a roaring lion, a serpent. If he appeared in any of these aspects that would be enough for me, but you know we do sometimes entertain angels -unawares, and there is another name given him which describes his most dangerous dis-. guise—‘an angel of light.’ When the devil puts on a long-tailed coat and goes into the pulpit or occupies a chair in some college or seminary, then—beware!
