THE GREATEST OF ALL BATTLES
The large tent was again crowded lastnight to hear Mr Mace give his address on 'The Greatest Batt-lo in the World.' The illustration was trom the well-known Biblical story of Ecclesiastes ix., 13 to 18 —the story of the capture of the little city by the great king, and its deliverance through the wisdom of the poor wise man. "The whole of the -Bible," said the speaker, "is focussed on Christ. In this chapter is given a graphic picture of God's great redemption. The greatest battle in history, time, and eternity, is mentioned here." Quoting Ezekiel xxviii., Mr Mace very vividly described the personality of the great enemy of mankind. Th-e common idea of Satan with horns and hoofs was shown to be erroneous, and not according to Scripture, he being before his fall the most marvellous of God's creations. The tendency to attribute to Satan the responsibility for all mankind's sins was due to the failure to realise the corruptness of our fallen nature. To-night is question night.
