MEETINGS

WHERE SATAN’S SEAT IS. A lecture in the Druids’ Hall, Tainui Street, on the above subject is to be delivered by Mr E. P. Clark, of Melbourne, who some months ago lectured in Greymouth. There lias been much speculation as to who Satan is and the part he plays in God’s scheme of things. The theory that he is the Manager-in-Chief of Hell is advanced by some, but. the Scriptures speak of him as the adversary of God, and as such he would not be placed in charge of any part of God’s scheme. He, however, has a dominion and a seat from which to govern.

In explaining just where this is located the speaker will answer such questions as What is the Soul? Where are the Dead ? Did God create Satan and consequently become the Author of Evil- etc. The present social order is in a state of flux and both the cause of this condition and the Divine remedy are interwoven in the Scriptures with the life and activities of Satan, hence in exposing the methods adopted by him and showing how these will eventually result in his overthrow, the liberation and blessing of mankind will be made clear. Attention of our readers is directed to the advertisement appearing in this issue for time and place of lecture. Seats are free and there will be no collection. Mr E. P. Clark will lecture at 6.30 p.m. each day at the following places next week :—Monday, Hokitika, Town Hall; Tuesdav, Kumara, Memorial Hall; Thursday.
