There is a way which seemeth right unto a e n d man , but the thereof are the ways Of death o 14 : (Pr v .

HIS SCRI PTU R E came t o mind as we

o O f thought Of the conditi n backsliders , and

who others , have been caught in the Satanic “ ” Tongues delusion , which , during the past few w years , has s ept like a pestilence over the globe . A person who has fallen from grace is m a de p lo r

t o able state and is be pitied , even when he

his n how realizes conditio , but much more dread ful it is t o be possessed with demons and not know O it . f all calamities that could possibly befall

t o a person this side Of eternity , this appeals us as b eing the worst . When the Holy Spirit is grieved

IS away , the door open and demons enter as angels Of

n light and take possession Of the heart . They do ot “ sa o y , We are demons and have come t sink your ” soul into perdition , but they talk like angels . In 6 D EMONS AND TONGUES

t o other words , they claim be the Holy Ghost , and thus deceive and destroy the soul . From a personal knowledge O f and actual ac quaintance with many who have been swept away “ ” by the Tongues delusion , we know , that through disobedience or refusal to consecrate themselves to

God , they lost their spiritual bearings and have O been backslidden , some Of them , for years . f course it was Satan ’ s opportunity to pick them up

O f and make them dupes his religion . When the truth is fully kn o wn it will be found that the “ ” fe w Tongues adherents , with exceptions , are per i sons O this character . When people refuse to take

O f the rugged way the Cross , they are continually looking for something to ease their consciences ;

Satan sees that they find it . He stands at their right “ ” hand and says , This is the way , walk ye in it , and

t e without controversy they Obey . When they

’ e at e dl p y go against light , and refuse God s counsel

o and reproof , He turns away and leaves them t “ . N their fate God helps those who do His will . ot

every one that saith unto me , Lord , Lord , shall enter into the ki ngdom O f heaven ; but he that doeth the ” O f 7 will my Father which is in heaven (Matt . Apostate Gentiles have turned their ears unto

O f fables , ignoring the word God and walking after

n O f the traditio s men , hence the soil Of their hearts

’ fo r o wn o is ready the devil s p lanting . The g od i o - seed f nds no l dging place . But God is merciful

t o e has enough not leave them without warning . H ’ SATAN s MIGHTIEST WEAPON 7 a few p e Op le jn these days Of awful peril who are f exposing the works Of the devil , and faith ully proclaiming His word and truth .

so - The called Apostolic movement , known as “ ” t o the Tong ues , is an invention Of Satan shut peo

’ t o O f ple s eyes the apostate condition Christendom . Its purpose is t o make a great religious display and lull the multitudes t o sleep in their cradles Of carnal security , just at the close Of the Gentile age . Satan knows that his days are fe w and he must lose no time ; that the day is n o t far distant when the angel will descend from heaven with a chain to

f it bind him and cast him into the bottomless p , where the key will be turned o n him for a thousand years . His mightiest weapon Of warfare is a counterfeit religion . He must make people b e

rowm lieve that the world is g g better , and he disguises himself and comes as an angel Of

so - light , bringing with him this called Pente costal baptism with the sign Of tongues . To his satisfaction the great multitudes Of professors have cooled Off and many are ready for j ust such a coun t e rfe it o r t o accept anything under the name Of

Pentecost he may hand Out t o them . He tells them ’ ! ! . 14 : that echariah s prophecy ( ech which says , “ ” is At evening time it shall be light , being fulfilled in the spread Of the “ Tongues ” movement over the “ T H E LAT E R N ” globe , that T RAI is falling upon the Gentiles and there is now a world -wide revival and that hundreds and thousands are receiving their 8 DEMONS AN D TONGUES

“ n Pentecost . The prophecy which says , At eveni g “ time it shall be light , and those concerning the lat ter rain , have reference to the Jews , and will be ful

filled after they are gathered back to Palestine . All this talk about the latter rain is a misappropriation O f

Scripture that belongs to the Jews , as is plain to be “ : ! re seen Be glad then , ye children Of ion , and joice in the Lord your God : for he hath given you the former rain moderately , and he will cause to come down for you the rain , the former rain , and the latter rain in the first month . And the floors

O f shall be full wheat , and the fats shall overflow il with wine and O . And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten , the cankerworm , and the caterpiller , and the palmerworm , my great ” army which I sent among you ( Joel 2 : 23 Gentiles have no claim whatever to the litaral fulfil

O f hro he c ie s ment the p p concerning the latter rain . Instead O f light coming to them they are being e n shrouded in the greatest spiritual darkn e ss that has

O f ever been known in the history the Gospel age . Many persons have signed pledges and quit the drink and other habits without ever hav ing been converted , and there may be in the “ T ongues movement those who have reformed , but this they could do and not have a particle f O spiritual light . Salvation begins in the heart and works outward . Those who have once had the Spirit O f God are not so likely to fall back into the Old paths Of outward sin ; they SPURIO US LOVE are more likely t o be brought under the power

thel r Of some delusion , never getting eyes Open until they wake up in perdition . Satan does n o t care how high a person ’ s Outward standard Of morals may be just so his imps can have a lodging a hi place in his heart . He can better ccomplish s

i n o t purpose when one s outwardly wicked . There is a spurious love existing among the “ ” is Tongues folk which extremely revolting . When Satan is trying t o deceive a person with false religion he is t o o shrewd to come as a roaring D lion , but brings his counterfeit Of ivin e love which always appeals t o the carnal mind and is readily

wh his accepted by those o are caught by heresies . ” The “ Tongues people claim miracle -work ing power in the healing Of diseases j ust as the

Christian Scientists have claimed it for years . At the beginning Of each new era in the history Of both

G e h Jews and entil s , t ere have been great demon

r i h s t at o ns Of power . The true Churc will never lose

' the gift s o f the Spirit n o r the power Of working

is n ot miracles . It necessary , however , at the close Of the Gentile dispensation for miracles t o be

o H is worked t prove the divinity Of Christ . di vinity has already been established .

In fulfilment Of prophecy , men have hardened their hearts ; the Holy Spirit has been rejected and demons are strongly intrenched in human habita

is tions , and , like a criminal , apostate Christendom under the Divine sentence and must pay the p en 10 DEMONS AND To N GUEs

Go d t o re alty . owes no favors those who have fused His counsel and insulted His Spirit . The gallows for their execution , figuratively speaking , is already prepared . There are a few people , however , who have kept their garments unspotted from the world and are robed and ready to meet their coming

Lord when He appears in the clouds Of His glory .

When a religious demon enters the heart , he will sing , preach and pray through his victim , and in fact do almost anything that o n e d o es who has real salvation . H e is usually equipped with plenty

O f religious paraphernalia . He has a lingo that

Of um sounds like the language Canaan , and the wary pilgrim will be taken in his net . He even talks about the blood Of the atonement and the coming O f Christ . If H e did not there would be no danger O f his deceiving the very elect . He comes with an open Bible and claims that his arguments are based upon the word Of God ; he can quote scripture and pervert it to perfection . A smooth -ton gued hypocrite thus demonized can do

‘ more real damage than a host Of sinners who make

O f no profession . The fountain iniquity from within sends forth an unclean stream ; the tongue speaks perverse things . It is a critical time when those who p ro fess to be righteous , neither call for j ustice nor plead for the truth , and we personally know that many among the “ Tongues ” people who claim “ the baptism ” with the sign Of PERVERT TH E TRU TH 11

are t o tongues , ever ready pervert the truth . They will take up and spread an evil report and they always find a hearing among those Of their

ow n . O f kind The love the truth is not in them . “ ’ Isaiah says Of such , They hatch cockatrice eggs , and ’ weave the spider s web : he that eateth Of t heir eggs

o ut dieth , and that which is crushed breaketh into ” a viper . N O stronger statements than these could

o be made . There is nothing m re deadly than the

v wh n t o sting Of a iper , and those o liste falsehoods ’ e s an d and repeat them hatch cockatrice gg , a nest Of v t o ipers are turned loose bite and destroy . When o n e listens to and accepts a lie he is becoming in oc u

O f e lated with the poison a viper . Thos who have the spirit of Jesus will not do such things ; they will n o t subsist o n falsehoods and take up an

t o evil report and carry it others . The spider

his weaves a web and captures prey in its meshes , and s o does a tale -bearer weave his stories so as t o

A - catch the innocent and unwary . tale bearer is an encumberer Of the gro und and should be looked “ who upon as such by all love the truth . Their webs

n o t shall become garments , neither shall they cover themselves with their wo rks : their works are works

is Of iniquity , and the act Of violence in their

s : t o hand (Isa . 59 Truth is fallen the ground and

G o d a false standard is lifted up . will arise , and according to the deeds O f the wicked He will repay

‘ t o his r hi to s . fury adversaries , ecompence enemies When John the Baptist told his hearers Of 12 DEMONS AND TONGUES

Jesus who would baptize them with the Holy Ghost “ and fire , he said , And now also the axe is laid unto the root Of the trees : every tree therefore which

o bringeth not forth g od fruit is hewn down , and ” “ ” c ast int o the fire (Luke 3 : The Tongues

do c t rin e l n tree is not only corrupt ( y wro g) , but it O f is lodging all kinds unclean birds in its branches .

The Gospel axe must hew it down , and there are not many who are able to wield the axe . This tree sprang up in a day and bears unmistakably the

O f . ro fli a fruit corruption Any person , however p g t e he may be , can get the tongues . All he needs to do “ is to asso ciate with the Tongues folk and seek i according to their directions . If he has any d ffi culty they will assist him by their magic devices , even taking hold and working his jaws until u satisfactory res lts are Obtained . A legion Of devils were cast out O f the Gada rene and seven were cast out Of Mary Magdalene . I f we could only know ho w many are hiding under “ ” neath a cloak Of professio n among the Tongues people it would be a great revelation to some who

Old are deceived . Many an spiritualist has attended their meetings and felt himself perfectly at home . He recognizes the same spirits operating in a “ ” Tongues meeting that he does in the seance . D evil worshipers in India have had the gift O f

o tongues , and Mormon p lygamists in our own land “ ” n O f claim to speak with the to gues angels . There never was a better time for witchcraft to become

I4 DEMONS AND TONGUES guise Of the Holy Ghost in this “ Tongues move f ment . But we are going to make the e fort and leave the consequences with God . The principalities and powers O f darkness cannot stand before a prevailing Church ; not because its members have any strength o r might

Of their own , but from the fact that the God Of the universe hears their cries and c o -Operates with them . H e has all power in heaven and in earth and besides Him there is no God . When man reaches the limit Of his strength , he may expect something marvelous to take p lace , especially when the enemies O f righteousness have set themselves to

o destr y the work that God has called him to do . “ ” The Tongues adherents , whether they are

o r e aware Of it not , are being us d Of the devil to

N TH E 1 2th chapter Of Matthew we find that Jesus rebuked the Pharisees who were seeking

e SO aft r a sign . These Pharisees were dead spirit ually that they did no t know their Messiah when He came . They claimed that He was an impostor, and o ut utterly rej ected Him . They said He cast devils l n by Bee zebub the prince Of devils . Whe they de a “ sired sign Of Him , H e replied , An evil and adulterous generation seeketh after a SIGN ; and

When people turn aside from the truth and gO t o seeking signs , they open their hearts to be de c e iv e d by men and demons . These Pharisees had

no t no conviction and desire o re pent Of their sins . 16 D EMONS AN D TONGUES

They were already condemned . Heathen Nineveh received J onah ’ s message and repented in sackcloth

nd a ashes , and mercy was extended unto them ; but the hypocritical Pharisees who were seeking after

signs refused to repent , and in their rags Of self righteousness were turned over to become the habi tatio ns Of demons . “ When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man , he walketh through dry places , seeking rest ,

but they are from beneath and not from above . It is the same Old spirit of necromancy and witchcraft

that has been manifested in all ages . Witchcraft belongs to the works Of the flesh ; wherever people are given to the over -indulgence Of their

Ignorant Of the true principles Of salvation they are unable t o understand the strange spirits that operate in a “ Tongues ”

God shall send them strong delusion , that they should believe a lie : That they all might be damned who believed not the truth , but had

themselves teachers , having itching ears ; And they

shall turn away their ears from the truth , and shall ” be turned unto fables . We never saw SO many with itching ears as are “ ” found in the Tongues movement . They are listening to hear O f Signs and wonders and they sit J UDGED BY ITS FRUIT 1 9 fascinated while remarkable stories are being told

who Of how people , it has been claimed , have been

Los Angeles , California , had blest and sent to her .

We have known this man for years . When we first met him he was a practicing physician and had

f r been a backslider o years . We are to j udge a tree by its fruit and we know that his ministry is not

t he bringing forth fruit Of righteousness . Like others he is looking for signs and wonders , while those under his ministry are perishing for the

O f in the upper room . In these last days awful peril and Old church apostasy we find a person who is presumptuous enough to claim that o n e hundred per sons were converted under the above conditions in a “ single meeting . Jude says Of such preachers , These

“ are spots in your feasts Of charity , when they feast

Of stars , to whom is reserved the blackness darkness ” for ever . w This man , we positively kno , has helped to prepare the soil in Los Angeles for the “ Tongues ” “ heresy . The Scripture says , For by thy words thou shalt be j ustified , and by thy words thou shalt ” be condemned . He told us about some gold mines

in which he was interested , and frankly stated that

H is some day he expected to be a very rich man . ow n words were sufficient proof that he had fallen “ . 1 : from grace Matthew 9 24 says , It is easier

for a camel to go through the eye Of a needle , than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom ” n ot t o Of God . He evidently was expecting take “ the track that Jesus took , who said , The foxes have holes , and the birds Of the air have nests ; but ” h his the Son Of man hath not w ere to lay head . “ James says , Your gold and silver is cankered ; and the rust Of them shall be a witness against you ,

w a and only in this y can they live the life Of faith . “ Without faith it is impossible to please him .

O f Rich men who make a profession religion , Openly defy God ’ s word and trample His laws under their feet ; they have persecuted His prophets and martyred His saints in all ages . J esus “ o O f called them a generati n vipers and said , How ” can ye escape the damnation O f hell !

“ WE N OTIC E in looking ov er the Tongues publications that their pages are all stamped with heresy . They teach that the baptism with the Holy Ghost and tongues is a distinct work from sanc “ t ifi i n an ifi i n cat o . They call s ct c at o the baptism with ” c ha blood , and laim that the Holy Spirit s nothing t o do o with this baptism , that the H ly Spirit did

fo r not die humanity . What could be more abom inable in the sight Of God than this ! While like the third blessing heresy so popular among many

fe w backsliders a years ago , this doctrine is much

: worse . Ephesians 4 5 says clearly there is but “ O o n e o n e ne Lord , faith , baptism . When car n alit y is destroyed by the sanctifying power Of the

H o n e oly Spirit people become in Christ , having

o n e o ne been baptized by Spirit into body . Advocates Of the “ Tongues” heresy do violence

O f to the unity the Godhead . They divide up the

work Of, salvation among the three persons and I - run nto tri theism , when they deny that th e Holy

our san ifie r Spirit is c t . The Word declares that

n ot e n ' there are thr e Gods , but o e Go d in three 24 DEMONS AND TONGUES

persons . The Holy Spirit is the third person , the

executive Of the Godhead . He convicts the sinner , i regenerates the penitent and sanct fie s the Christian . The Word teaches that we are sanctified by the

Holy Spirit , that is , the Holy Spirit applies the

de file blood , cleansing the heart from all spiritual

ment , taking possession Of the temple and occupy

ing the throne Of the heart . “ sa The disciples , the Tongues folk y , were

o sanctified before Pentec st . It seems strange that any one who has had spiritual light could be swept

v away by such doctrines . We ha e every evidence that the disciples had the carnal mind until Pente

cost , when the Holy Ghost fell upon them and a utterly expurgated the last rem ins Of it . The baptism Of the Holy Ghost and sanctificatio n is

o n e o n e and the same work, and any who teaches differently has either never known Christ o r is a

backslider under the control Of demons . Why should we go back on this standard teaching which God has blest in all past ages ! The great work O f

Pentecost was the destruction Of the carnal nature ,

o r O f the execution the Old man Of sin . The plan Of salvation has never been changed ; it has been

se the same in all ages . Two works of grace are t

— san c tific at io n forth regeneration and . Regener ation is the imparting Of life by the Holy Spirit to

San ifi ati n the dead soul . ct c o is the removal O f the

carnal nature , or the body Of sin that , like a dead h corpse , clings to the soul after it as been regener TH E TH IRD B LESSING 25

4 ated . In the seventh Of Romans (verse 2 ) we read , “ 0 wretched man that I am ! who shall deliver me from the body Of this death ! ” The next verse gives hope ; thro ugh J esus Christ there IS deliver ance . The Holy Spirit utterly destroy s this body

5 111 fits H is Of and the temple for own indwelling, and takes possession . A few years ago an advocate Of the third bless ing heresy told us that the fact that the disciples were all O f one accord in one place when the Holy Spirit descended proves that they were sanctified before Pentecost . He had been in Canada and different parts Of the United States gathering a few people together and erroneously teachingthem that it is impossible for regenerated people to b e Of o n e accord , and used this as his strong argument that the sanc tificat io n Of the disciples took place before c Pentecost . He almost suc eeded in making some Of o ur own converts believe he was right and tried t o convince us that we had been teaching them wrong . While he stood with his Bible in hand delivering his message t o us in o ur o w n home we Opened a revised version and showed him that the

‘ ” One accord was missing ; that the scripture simply “ O f reads , When the day Pentecost was now come , ” o n e lac e A c ts : 1 they were all together in p ( 2 , When he saw the complete absence Of “With o n e ” o n a accord , which he was b sing his argument , he was utterly confused and began to whirl around “ S o Go d in the floor and hout Out , Glory t , glory to 26 D EMONS AND TONGUES

” ‘ t o ! This e nde d his God, glory God work in the

e West . A short time afterwards we learn d that he had died . The “ Tongues people believe in laying aside

Off doctrines like a person would lay a garment , “ sa — then they y , Become passive cease to strive ” — and tongues will come . This is hypnotism the same spirits at work that are found in the spiritual ist ic meetings . Paul repeatedly warns Timothy about the do c “ 4 : e 1 . 1 6 trines . Tim says , Take h ed unto thy

e : s lf , and unto the doctrine ; continue in them for in

o doing this thou shalt b th save thyself , and them that 1 3 s “ hear thee . The th ver e says , Till I come ,

t o give attention to reading , to exhortation , doc t rine The fact is , we cannot get along without

doctrine , but God forbid that we should endorse

the doctrines Of devils . There is no way for the devil to proce ed with his work in a “ Tongues ” meeting until he has induced people to give up sound doctrines , then he c an operate upon their mental and spiritual organ isms , and after they have accepted the false he has them completely under the control Of his imps , and most any kind O f outburst Of demon power is likely to follow . It may be speaking in tongues which no o n e can understand o r e ven in language that some

t o As the Gentile age draws a close , there will be greater manifestations Of demon power than have O ever been known in the history Of the world . ne Bible commentator has said the devil ’ s fire will fall “ - fire and many will be deceived . Man has fox , and

' ” fl e re when they O d it unto the Lord . It hardly seems possible that so many people could be deceived by the false doctrines current in “ ” who the present Ton gues movement . Those have refused spiritual discipline are unable t o tell the dif

t o tion when they come as angels Of light . Professing know Go d they failed t o keep the rugged track and gave way to the works Of the flesh in some form . The devil saw his opportunity t o deceive them and took advantage Of it . We find that many persons who have become the victims Of the “ Tongues” delusion have claimed

r the baptism O f the Holy Ghost fo y ears . O f course 28 DEMONS AND TONGUES they were backslidden when they came in contact with this demon worship and they concluded that

they had never had their Pentecost , and threw Open the doors Of their hearts and invited the “ Tongues demon to come in , which he did , only

o o t glad to get the chance . I f a legion Of devils begged Jesus to let them gO into the swine they would have no hesitation in entering the heart Of a human being who persistently entreats them t o come in . The fact is these demon seducers are tak ing possession Of those whose hearts were once the temple Of the Holy Spirit without being re “ ” n sisted . In accepti g the Tongues heresy people virtually say that all previous claims they have made to salvation are false , and that for the

v first time in their li es they are being enlightened .

They make God out a liar . If they had any salvation they would hold fast the profession t Of their faith wi hout wavering , but , according

to instructions , they renounce their former teach

God ings and spiritual light as not being Of .

O f to The testimonies such people amount this , We have been hypocrites during all the years

the power from God and giving it to the devil, who , with his imps , is operating through them . It certainly is time for the lovers Of truth and right “ ” e o usne ss t o rise up in arms against this Tongues movement and contend for the faith that was

once delivered t o the saints . “ w S : Again e quote , from the ame paper Large numbers who know that it is Christ that is received

san c tific atio n in conversion , and who believe in as a

O f subsequent work grace , declare that while they

did not receive the Spirit in conversion , they cer ’ ifi io n ‘ ainl san ct c at . N t y did in Again we say , O ,

Jesus Christ is made unto us wisdom , righteousness ,

an tificat io n . s c , and redemption Then if the Spirit reveals u n to us after we are saved that the Christ we received as our Savior in conversion is also made

sanc tificatio n unto us and faith appropriates it , it is

sac tific ation not the Holy Spirit we receive , it is in

Jesus Christ . Further , the Holy Spirit will wit ness clearly to o ur san c tificatio n and will bring great blessing and j oy to the heart Of the person who is separated unto God through the precious

blood Of Christ . But all this is not receiving the ” Holy Ghost . A few years ago , we met people

o who had g ne into the third blessing heresy . They

went from one extreme to another . After they

as had claimed to receive the Holy Ghost , a

O f third work , they sought a blessing dynamite .

Of lyddite , which , they said , was even stronger Q UOTATIONS 31

who than dynamite . At this j uncture those had at first advocated the third blessing made a protest declaring that they would not go any further . Then their meetings broke up in a row .

’ This was God s way Of answering o ur prayers in behalf O f those who were being swept away by the false doctrines The persistency shown by some Of the adhe r ents Of the present “ Tongues ” heresies in trying t o get others under the same demon -working power is shocking , but thank God , there are a few persons yet who cannot be brought under the control O f de i mons . There s a saying that we have Often “ Yo u fOOl heard , can some Of the people all Of the

O f time , and all Of the people some the time , but ” all you cannot fool all Of the people Of the time . “ sa For We can y with St . Paul , I know whom I

2 . 1 : that day ( Tim The next verse says , “ o H old fast the f rm Of sound words , which thou hast heard Of me , in faith and love which is in

t o Christ Jesus . Paul had reference here sound doctrine . He says also that all that were in Asia turned away from him and mentions Phygellus and h Hermogenes . These persons w o turned away may have kept up their profession , but they embraced

o r false doctrines , in other words , the doctrines Of devils . He mentioned Onesiphoru s who had Often re 32 DEMONS AND TONGUES

O f freshed Him and was not ashamed his chain . By this we know that those who left him were ashamed

Of his chain . There was too much reproach in con

i n n e c t o with it for them . They wanted a popular religion , and Of course the devil had it for them . Paul declared that he was not ashamed Of the

w O f a Gospel , that it is the po er God unto s lvation “ ” unto every one that believeth . The Tongues people laid down the Cross before they embraced

O f O f the doctrines devils . There is no reproach the

Cross connected with getting the modern tongues ,

from the fact they originated in perdition . There are some persons among them who claim they are being persecuted . This may be true , but it is ’ N O f not for righteousness sake . O doubt some them in their deceived and deluded condition actually

f v su fer . There are all kinds Of di isions and dissen Sions among those who are given up to demon

worship . There are carnal professors who have not yielded themselves to these spirits who will oppose

those who have . It is the same Old carnal warfare that has been manifested in churches and political

parties all down the ages . All classes Of people are found seeking the tongues without repenting Of their sins or meeting the conditions O f the Script

ures in any sense . Those who have been rebelling against God for years will go to a “ Tongues ” meet

n ing and seek to gues to ease their consciences . “ Isaiah describes their spiritual condition : The

whole head is sick , and the whole heart faint . GOD ’ S WARNINGS 33

The day is n ot far distant when all those who have been found taking part in their meetings would gladly gO into the holes and caves Of the earth if they could hide from the presence Of the Lord . The “ ghastly works Of t he devil in Ton gue ism must and will be exposed . Fo r years Go d has been warning people that

H is j udgments were about to fall u pon the earth , and those who h ave had spiritual understanding Of the Word have stood in the pulpit and drawn vivid pictures Of the power Of demons that will be e manif st in the latter days . Many books have

fo r e s but alas pr achers , writers and other , demon power is manifesting itself in a different way from what they expected . While they have been at ease 3 34 DEMONS AND TONGUES

H is chief end is to blaspheme the H oly Ghost and sweep true religion O ff the face O f the earth . Stories that are being circulated in regard to the healing Of diseases , are his strongest bait . “ Many go to the To ngues meetings and seek to be healed Of their diseases , and have no thought Of restraining their appetites o r otherwise discip lin

O f ing their bodies , or glorifying God in their lives

se e as cross bearers . They want to signs and wo n de rs b ut , God will have nothing to do with them , and Of course it is the devil ’ s opportunity to build up his own kingdom by promising them health . When Israel murmured and gave way to their “ fl e shly lusts the Psalmist says that God cast upon

fie rc e n e ss them the Of his anger, wrath , and indigna EVIL AN G E LS tion , and trouble , by sending ” ’ O f o among them . We see here that one G d s ways Of punishing people is by sending evil angels among them .

‘ But God has been m erciful enough n o t t o leave those who are being deluded without suffi cient warning . The multitudes are being deceived through hypocritical preachers and professors . “ O f e s Jesus said , Beware fals prophet , which come ’ t o o u y in sheep s clothing , but inwardly they are ravening wolves .

15 t o o (Matt . 7 We fail see any go d fruit from “ ” the world -wide revival that the Tongues people

i is cla m in progress . They actuallyhave the audacity to tell us that four hundred people in a certain local ity have received the baptism O f the Holy Ghost . They say most Of those who are receiving this n baptism are young women , and that you g women more readily receive the to ngues than others . They should read Acts 16 : 1 6-1 8 and find o ut where “ their s o -called baptism originated And it came t o

ass as t o o s p p we went prayer , a certain damsel p

us sessed with a spirit Of divination met , which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying :

The us same followed Paul and , and cried , saying ,

G o d These men are the servants Of the most high ,

she did many day s . But Paul , being grieved , turned

t o the and said spirit , I command thee in the name

t o c Of Jesus Christ ome Out Of her . And he came 36 DEMONS AND TONGUES

o ut the same hour . Paul permitted this unclean he e spirit to cry out many days before r buked him , and no sooner was it done than the masters Of the

e s young woman , s eing that their gains were lo t , drew Paul and Silas before the rulers and had them beaten and cast into prison . The devil was certainly enraged when he had these two saints cast into prison and their feet put into stocks . D emons in that locality would n ot consent to vacate their strongholds without a protest , and no doubt a conference O f arch -fie n ds was held in pandemonium t o de vise plans by which the work O f Paul and Silas might be stopped , but we find them at midnight

Singing praises unto God . After the demons were routed , God had to work a miracle to deliver His

O ff tear the mask those who are deceiving others , he will have the combined forces O f perdition to

N o it to reform . For as it was in the days Of ah and

O f is a true picture the fallen church . Preachers and

o - pe ple are living self indulgent lives , led away with divers lusts . Scarcely a daily newspaper can be picked up without an account Of o ut -breaking sins among prominent church members in which minis

-diluv ian s the ante , by inspired writers you will find that the same sins which destroyed them are the — curse O f the nations t o -day they are eating and drinking , marrying and giving in marriage , thus sh wm o g that the flesh life predominates . The sins

e o Of the flesh , like the dreaded dis ase Of lepr sy , have eaten away the Vitals Of religious organiza tions which have fallen to the very depths and can never b e recovered . O f all the cunning craftiness that Satan has e as O f ver displayed an angel light , we believe the climax has been reached in this latter day sorcery Of “ ” n the Tongues movement , but we are o t sur

as is O f prised , it in direct fulfilment Scripture . “ 4 : 1 N 1 Tim . says , ow the Spirit speaketh e x t pressly , that in the latter imes some shall depart

Paul in this epistle o T mo t o thy has no reference people at large , but is showing the backslidden condition Of the Gentile h church in the last days . Multitudes w o are giving hee d t o seducing spirits and doctrines Of devils will

e e v e nev r humbl themsel es nough to admit it . They are unwilling t o believe that the e nemy has been n t o e crafty e ough d ceive them , but the fact is he has SO as done , and they might well find it o ut first as e e th last . In very land and clim e backslidden holiness movem e nt has furnished fruitful soil fo r the “ ” the f r Tongues , just as Old church has o Christian

e f r h Sci nce . This accounts o t e rapidity with which 40 DEMONS AND TONGUES

“ the Tongues movement has spread over the

-fire globe . It has g one like wild , sweeping almost

n It s e everything r cours . We quote the following from a “ Tongues paper : “ It will soon be four years since the present

so N outpouring Of the Spirit became general . oth

so N ing we have ever seen spread rapidly . othing o n earth seemed to promise so much to the people

Of the earth . We saw from the first that if it was O f God it would ultimately carry everything before c it . We were soon convinced that it was from , and j ust as fully convinced that it would practically revolutionize the theorie s and teachings Of men so e far as th y relate to the baptism Of the Holy Ghost . It was so manifestly from God that it seemed to us all who really knew the voice O f God would gladly accept it . In all essentials it so closely resembles the samples given in the word Of God that it seemed to us all the world would give it a glad

e me mie s n b e welcome . The denou ced it fiercely as

ing O f the devil . They seemed to think it a gigantic stroke O f Satan to swallo w up all the real spiritual

life Of the world . On the other hand many who had received the Holy Spirit failed t o se e the plan f Of God and thus the work su fered at their hands . It was sadly misrepresented both by its enemies ” and its friends . NO o n e with a knowledge Of the Word and spiritual understanding can fail t o se e from the T H E GREAT APOSTASY 41

“ forego ing statements that the Tongues move

n o t ment came from below and from above . That the great apostasy O f the latter days is upon us no One can doubt and the very that this move ”fact ment could have such a rapid spread under these

f it is n ot conditions is proo that Of God . After Pentecost the early church had to meet all kinds

Of opposition in the spread Of the Gospel . The

o n resistance the part Of the Jews , heathen and all classes was so great that none Of the apostles died

o n e a natural death , with perhaps exception . The world was not evangelized then In a few months o r

D has years . own through the centuries it taken the blood Of hundreds and thousands Of m artys t o establish N ew Testament doctrines an d ‘ lift up the u cross Of Jes s Christ . In the history Of every true religiou s organization the greatest heroism has been ff manifested . Privations and su erings and perse cutio ns O f every kind have always characterized “ ” the true Church . But what has this Tongues movement all amounted t o ! With o n e broad stroke Satan has swept the globe and left nothing behind

has but devastation and death . The means been furnished for scores and hundreds t o go t o foreign lands to preach In what they supposed was the na

tive tongue Of the Hindus , Chinese and every other

t o nationality . But their surprise they find that “ ” e are Of n o use t o their tongu s them , that they

no cannot be understood at all . Why did t the Holy Spirit re ve al this to them be fore they started ! 42 DEMONS AND TONGUES

“ : 1 John 1 6 3 says , Howbeit when he , the Spirit Of

is : truth come , he will guide you into all truth for he shall not speak O f himself ; but whatsoever he

: shall hear , that shall he speak and he will show you things to come Those whom the “ Tongues”

people have sent to foreign lands , if they have not had the means to return , had to settle down

f v s and learn the language O the nati e . Their great schemes O f evangelizing the heathen proved to be air-castles or floating bubbles that burst when t they reached their destina ion . The Holy Spirit is

God , and we certainly credit Him with having

intelligence superior to this . You will notice in “ the above quotation the writer says , Many who had received the Holy Spirit failed to see the plan ” O f f God , and thus the work su fered at their hands .

Reader , imagine a person baptized with the H oly ’ Ghost and yet unable t o s e e God s plans and the

f O f work su fering at his hands . What kind person is the Holy Ghost ! Is He not the third person Of the Trinity ! “ For there are three that bear record

in heaven , the Father , the Word , and the Holy

: s Ghost and the e three are one . And there are

three that bear witness in earth , the Spirit , and the

: water , and the blood and these three agree in ” o ne (1 J ohn What God knows the Holy

Spirit knows , and the H oly Spirit will not direct

o n e any contrary to the Father and the Son . Is it the third person O f the Trinity that these people are receiving who claim t o have the Holy Ghost with the DISSENSIONS 43

f ! Ve rrl sign O tongues y , they have received an arch h fiend w o has come in the disguise Of an angel . “ is sad The same writer says , It more than t o se e some trying to establish their claims as origin ”

r . at o s and founders Of the work We might add , that so far as its origin is concerned there can be t o no doubt as that , for the work unmistakably

it s . bears the marks Of father , the devil The per

‘ who so ns here referred to , are trying to establish “ ” their claims as the originators O f the Tongues movement Of course claim they have received the

o r baptism with the Sign Of t ngues . If they have e c e ive d the Holy Ghost why should they be making false claims o r trying to organize something that God does n o t want organized ! Why do they want t o “ ” “ o r be called the projectors field directors , if this is contrary t o the Holy Spirit whom they claim t o have received ! “ O t o This writer also says , thers have worked get committees appointed o r councils and have worked t o get t o be the chairman Of such councils ” “ r . O o committees He also says , nly a few Of these men are ambitious schemers ; most O f them ” t o se e is simply failed the plan Of God . You see it claimed here they have their Pentec ost and are r eally friends to the work , but do not understand

’ God s plan , yet they are accused Of being ambitious “ ” for leadership and t o be called the proj ectors and ” “ ! he n o t directors Of t work . Are these the mani fe statio n s Of carnality ! A person could n ot even 44 DEMONS AND TON GUES be saved and have such unholy ambitions and desires . ’ Thank God , we are not ignorant Of the devil s devices and are ready to expose his works any where they are found . With few exceptions , he has swallowed up nearly every religious publication in “ ” the land and stamped it with Tongues , and on every page the trail Of the serpent can be found . If

- us St . Paul were present to day to help fight in this battle against principalities and powers , and against unclean spirits he would expose the black arts O f these hypocrites and compel them to make a bonfire Of their papers and books as he did in

O l the days O f d . At Ephesus the mighty power O f God was

’ made manifest in the revival that followed Paul s preaching , who entered the synagogue and spoke

O f boldly the things concerning the kingdom God . “ In this revival divers were hardened , and believed

e O f not , but spake vil the way before the multi tude Then Paul departed from them and went to the school Of Tyrannus where he continued t o

fo r teach and preach the space Of two years . All that dwelt in Asia had the privilege O f hearing the

O f word the Lord Jesus , both Jews and Greeks . God never turns people over t o be ravaged by evil spirits until they have hardened their heart s against

to the very core . Among its adherents we have heard O f the most outbreaking and flagrant sins .

-lo v e ism Free , like the coils Of a serpent , has wrapped itself around some Of the “ Tongues ” victims and sunk them into the lowest depths Of

immorality and degradation . These persons have invariably professed the Pentecostal baptism with

tongues , some Of them speaking , as they have

ff . claimed , in many di erent languages In the wake O f a Holy Ghost revival the devil always stirs up the forces Of darkness and does his

O ut most ghastly work . When evil spirits are cast they seek for other habitations and usually find an entrance to the hearts Of those who have refused to walk in the light . When Jesus cast a legion O f devils out O f the Gadarene they entered into the swine and the whole herd plunged over the preci

o s e a pice int the . They much prefer to live in human beings and will take possession Of them when the opportunity is given them to do so . The swine is an unclean beast and is a type Of carnality . Wherever the carnal nature is found in hearts evil spirits seek a lodging place . Jesus said ,

“ The prince Of this world cometh and fin de th noth ” ing in me . When carnality is destroyed Satan has no more claim on the human heart ; there is nothing t in it hat belongs to him , hence it behooves every regenerated person to get sanctified as soon as pos sible after his conversion . May the Lord not only deliver people from eating swine flesh , but save ’ SCEVA S SEVEN SONS 47 them from the Old corruptible nature Of which it is

o ut hold against the pleadings Of the Spirit , but after resisting fo r a time they grew hard and indifQ fe re nt to the strongest appeals that were made t o them ; they became critical and could scarcely se e

o r any good in anything anybody . Then they t urned away altogether and sought the company Of

who those were Of a reprobate mind . Such per ‘ sons have found congenial afliliat io n s among the “ Tongues people . The seven sons Of Sceva had heard the Gospel at Ephesus an d were given the opportunity t o r e

so O f righteous he does at the peril his own soul . Like the sons Of Sceva and the man possessed

with demons , there is Often a clashing Of swords “ ” among the Tongues people . Evil spirits are un willing to be routed by their own kind without a

protest . Some are stronger than others and refuse to vacate their tenements at the command Of those who

are presumptuous enough to attempt to rout them . In a Western city there were four different “ bands Of Tongues all fighting o ne another and

professing to have the Holy Spirit . They were

S O at loggerheads , some Of them would tell those Of other factions that they had devils in

them . This continued until a prominent leader among them commanded the demons to come o ut

who O f Of a young woman was not his band . It

baptism , speaking fluently , they said , seven or more

she o ne languages . When fell to the floor in Of her sp ells she was approached by this honored advocate Of “ Tongues” who took it upon himself to com u mand the evil spirits to come o t Of her . One can imagine “ the consternation Of many

The father Of young oman , “ ” n To n ue ist was c om was at first an e thusiastic g , ’ p le t ely at his wit s e nd ; he took his daughter away from the meetings and had nothing more t o do who with them . The leader commanded the evil “ ” spirits t o come o ut is an advocate Of the To ngue s heresy and is widely known as a writer and pub

’ admitted that some Of his people had the devil s tongues and that their lives were crooked . “ We quote the following from a Tongues

ublishe E d b . . paper p y A A Boddy Of ngland . This article written by the wife Of the publisher, whether so o r n o t he intended , is a repudiation Of t “ ” n n o Tongues doctrine . We k ow Of editor that “ ” has been more widely quoted among the Tongues

t o do so speak in tongues , if he expects , but I do believe that merely sp e aking in tongues is n ot nec e ssarily a convincing Sign that a person has got God in him . “ Of course the deep spiritual work may be done after a person has spoken in tongues , if he

Undoubtedly this editor and wife have had experience wit h those who spoke in tongues that manifested demon power in some way , which they were not able to reconcile wit h the “ baptism in the !

But most any can get “ ” so the tongues if he expects to do , whether he

D on Los at enver . He was his way to Angeles ,

California, and took the Opportunity Of visiting o ur School while passing through the city . We did not kn ow he was in the building until he walked

He had a strange appe arance which somewhat o ur t aroused curiosity , and as he claimed o be a on t o preacher Of the Gospel we called him pray . o f He responded with a good deal fervor, but Oh the feeling that came over us ! We thought Of e d mons , snakes and other slimy creature s before he

s r n had fini hed p ayi g . After he had left the room a number Of the students told that they felt that he was possessed with evil spirits . He was very untidy in his appearance ; he wore no collar and had a gre enish looking brass

Night after night as the messages went forth under the unction O f the Spirit the forces Of darkness strongly

resisted us , but God gave the victory . H undreds and even thousands attended the services during

o ur labors at Los Angeles . Preachers from high steepled churches were frequently seen in the

understand , told his people that we were preaching

the truth .

ex e and get right with Him , but this , with few c p

to do . tions , they refused The devil was even then

preparing a net to catch their feet , and after they hardened their hearts and resisted the pleadings Of hi the Spirit , they were taken into s net and carried away in the most hellish outburst Of demoniacal power that has probably ever bee n known under the name Of religion . ’ We had a prese ntim e nt o fGod s j udgm e nts c om on the the ing city , simply from fact that many , like S s the on Of Sceva , had hardened their he arts against the r t uth and tu rne d away . We frankly told the m PEOPLE WARNED 55 in the public services that some thing o ut Of the or

inar was t o Los A n ele s and d y coming g , there were at least a score Of persons present who had the sam e im

t o the n pression and testified fact . We did ot know

how God was t o j ust going visit them , but knew a

e was scourge Of som kind near at hand , and Of all the calamities that could have fallen upon a people , we verily believe that this demoniacal outbreaking

is is Of tongues the worst . It bad enough t o be p o s sessed with demons , but when they get control Of the vocal organs and talk about the blood Of the

is atonement , the coming Of Christ , etc . , it more than most people have ever thought they we re cap able O f doing . e are Many reliable persons , som Of wh om with u o - us saw the s t day , have told Of things they in

who Los An e les we nt missionaries , were laboring in g ,

o r have imagined that eve r had been told them . While dictating these lines Sister N who is fo r us us writing , stopped and told the following

the story . When I visited Azusa Street Mission the first person that attracted my attention was a

n ho woman with a thin , white silk waist o w stood

t o sad shaking from head foot . She had a , far away look i n her eyes . There were several rows Of chairs

her The in front Of that were filled with seekers . 56 D EMONS AND TONGUES

was colored man , Mr . Seymour, preaching , but my attention was attracted to the woman who contin ued to shake until a man sitting in front Of her slid u do wn o t Of his chair and went under a spell . “ wh I then lost sight Of the woman . The man o

c o n fell in the vision was pale and thin , and t in ue d in his position o n the floor until atter a num ber Of seekers had gathered around the altar . Then he aros e and staggered t o them and began to shake his hands in front Of their faces and wave his arms over their heads and moan . H e was apparently

was unconscious while he doing this . Then he put his hands o n the heads Of the women and began t o shake their hair . Some Of them lost control Of themselves and went under a spell . He rubbed a ’ man s jaws until the victim tumbled over and re mained apparently in an unconscious state fo r half d t o an hour , when su denly he began stutter and a jabbe r . Those who claimed to h ve the tongues

‘ o ut H e has has h cried , the baptism , he t e bap ’ t ism ! A young c olored woman was doing her best t o get the tongues ; she went through all kinds Of muscular contortions in her efforts t o get her

t o tongue work .

‘ While work at the altar was goin g on a colored woman had her arms around a white man ’ s neck

fo r praying him . One man Of mature years leaped

his to Out Of chair and began stutter . He did not a utter a distinct syllable , but s fast as he c ould A ‘ TONGUES” M EETING 57 make his tongue work he said tut tut tut tut tut

O f tut tut . This , course , they claimed was evidence that he had the baptism . The woman with the

on S silk waist appeared again , this time inging a far-away tune that sounded very unnatural and re pulsive . There were others who mingled their voices with he rs in the production Of these strange notes . “ While the altar call was being made a woman walked up to the front and kissed a man . It was

man whO o ne evident that the , was of the prominent

missio n was n o t workers in the , her husband or even K a relative . issing between the sexes is a common “ ” ” occurrence in the Tongues meetings . The following In part is from the p e n O f one

who a Of Our preachers , in company with nother “ ” brother attended a Tongues meeting . We ar ’ c sat rived about eight O lock . We took seats and

: quietly until 9 30 . The brother who was with me had met one Of the leaders in L and as the

w e work around the altar had begun , thought it would be all right fo r him to speak t o this man and hand him some Of Our tracts . He then spoke to

r who was the preache in charge , and asked him if we might have the privilege Of giving o ut some Of o ur so literature . He gave his consent all could

‘ hear him . He said , Take their tracts ; they will

’ o u O t o do y no harm . f course we were glad have the Opportunity , and went through the audience and gave them Out . 5 58 DEMONS AND TONGUES

Some o f the people became very much ex cited and began to mutter in tongues . They asked God to strike us down with His j udgments right

E . O there . This was said in plain nglish ne Of the

o ur leaders , whom brother had previously met , called him a liar , a blasphemer , dishonest, etc . Then followed a controversy between this man and the preacher in charge; o n e telling the other he did not believe the half he had said . The people in the audience Observing the discord saw that if o ne did O had the Lord the other not . f course

n these persons had the to gues . “ As a natural consequence the work at the altar

as w broken up , and the preacher in charge told the people to bring the papers and tracts we had t o handed to them to the platform . He wanted

o ut t o make a bonfire Of them . A few responded his request . He then called for a bucket and put the pape rs and tracts into it and burned them . D uring the meeti ng he acknowledged that some Of

’ ‘ ’ their people had the devil s tongues . But Of course ,

‘ ’ he said , some have the genuine tongues . “ There was o ne person at the altar who ap e are d t o p be an honest seeker , but the controversy between the leaders , and other things he heard evidently caused him to seriously consider the situa

O f tion . He told the good experience he once had , but for some time he had been dissatisfied and was struggling to get free . Scores like this man go t o “ ” the Tongues meetings expecting to get some A ‘ TONGUES ” MEETING 59

We quote the following from a letter received LLA OF from a man who , through reading the PI R F ’ IRE , was delivered from the devil s tongues in a city in Pennsylvania “ I attended the “ Tongues” meeting at H Here I found men and women

ing one Of the workers got hold Of me and said ,

Holy Ghost , we command Thee to go into this

soul . The workers were jabbering and shaking

their hands over me , and a hypnotic demon power

(as I know now) took possession Of me , and I fell among the people on the floor and knew nothing

for ten hours . When I came to my senses I was

she Of her . She called for us to pray with her that might be delivered from it and its influence . We responded and prayed with her for hours . Previous to this time the spirit had been talking about the

God as the things Of , such Calvary , blood , glory , B u . t revivals , etc now he begin to talk in a fearful ,

a us profane manner and c ll all sorts Of names . In the name o f Jesus we commanded the unclean spirit to depart from her , but he , stoutly refusing ,

us o ur told we better not waste time , but go home , for he intended to stay . Therefore he began to torment the sister by accusing her O f disloyalty t o

God and pronounced curse upon curse upon her, predicting her destruction and death in the near u f ture . He began to tear and pull her around the room in a terrible way . The more we prayed the more furious he became—cursing and swearing at us . I am not nervous , but I felt a cold shiver run ning down my back and felt as if the room was

filled with demons . The climax was reached when

o n O f we laid hands her in the name Jesus . We could not possibly be mistaken concerning the reality Of things , for we heard him curse , swear and

The conditions have been such that it would be impossible to publish the things that have occurred there , things that they have actually seen and heard .

s as l e great tress put upon the gift Of tongues , wi l b “ seen in the first verse Of the next chapter : Though

o f o f s I speak with the tongues men and angel , and as have not charity , I am become sounding brass ,

r . 14 o a tinkling cymbal Paul says in chapter , “ e 1 vers 9, Yet in the church I had rather speak

five words with my understanding, that by my voic e I might teach others also , than ten thousand words in an unknown tongue . These scripture s are sufficient t o show the estimate that Paul put o n the gift Of tongue s . The Corinthian church was ’ born o f the Holy Ghost under Paul s ministry and naturally we would expect the gifts o f the Spirit to be made manifest and t o be placed where they b e

how t - o long , but about his latter day m vement which unmistakably bears every evidence Of being

n born from beneath and o t from above . The fruit

Of the Spirit is not in it . N either are the gifts Of the Spirit made manifest which the Corinthian o f church possessed. Their woeful lack spiritual

e who discernment is appalling . Peopl are converted Often possess the gifts Of the Spirit t o a marvelous “ S e degree , but the Tongues people how that th ir

lights have been totally eclipsed . We know the fruit Of the Spirit whe n we se e e t o o a it . We have b en long in the Christi n war fare t o be de ceived by the witchcraft and sorcery

was a with the Holy Spirit . There no m nifestation

as o f strange tongues in this baptism , but as truly ever the disciples received the Holy Ghost o n the day Of Pentecost we were baptized by the same

O f Spirit . The power God rested upon us from day t o day and marvelous results followed fro m o ur ministry in the conviction and conversion o f sinners

i n f e and the sanctific at o o b lievers . It would take volumes to give o ur readers even a partial account Of the results which followed the outpouring Of the

Holy Spirit upon us .

O e o ur ur natural timidity , which had hinder d

fo r so n was service the Master for lo g , swept away . O ur tongue was touched with a live coal from the

diflic ult altar . There was no y to command language

n in our ow t ongue . We were enabled to express o ur thoughts in words that we had never used f before and scarcely knew the meaning o . They would come to o ur mind and fit into t he right place when we were standing before an audience . At times the pressure Of the Spirit was s o great u pon us it seemed the earthen vessel would almost break . Just before delivering a message where there were vital issues involved there were times when we were unable t o stand o n o ur feet for half o r o f w three quarters an hour , but hen the moment t o came deliver the message strength was given us . e We have never lost the pow r of the H oly Ghost . We still have the Spirit that discerns between the false and the true .

7 0 DEMONS AND TONGUES while we were preaching they understood every word we said . We remember a German woman especially who was converted in o ne o f o ur

v o ur first revi al meetings . She grasped hand and

us e gave to understand , in German and brok n

E she e e nglish , that had understood v ry word we

was she had said . She asked if understood other preachers who had preached in the sam e meet h f s e she . ing , and a firmed that did not This is

n only o e incident o ut of many o fa similar character . “ 2 : 8 ho w Acts says , And hear we every man ” o wn ! b e in his tongue , wherein we were born We

e i li ve there s as much in hearing as in speaking . When the Holy Spirit speaks through a person it is p ossible for Him to make p eople to unde rstand , even though they are n ot acquainted with the language t o in which the message is given . I f we were called foreign fields we would not expect to put in years learning the language Of the people t o whom we

fo r went to minister . We would have faith divine illumination and help to acquire the language o f

the natives in a short time . If all the people who were present on the day ’ of Pentecost heard Peter s message in their o wn language this was a greater miracle than the gift Of

tongues . Most any Old clairvoyant can mutter and

o n e speak words that no can understand , but there

o f is a limit to the power demons , there are things in the spiritual realm that they are unable t o

comprehend . ’ MO SES R OD 7 1

When Moses and Aaron cast their rod down before Pharaoh it became a serpent . Then Pharaoh called up the sorcerers and the magicians , and with the ir enchantments they did the same thing ; they t cast down their rods and hey became serpents , but

“ for the boils were upon the magicians , and upon ” all the Egyp tian s ( Exo dus 9 : The claims that the “ Tongues people have made O f being able to speak the languages O f the heathen have been proved false time and

so - again . They found that their called tongues O were a complete failure in foreign lands . ften times when they thought they were speaking in the tongues o f angels they were using the vilest lan guage that could possibly fall from the lips Of a

w o n e human being . We ill give instance with which we are familiar . A person who had received the tongues thought he was talking about the coming

who of Jesus , to a Chinaman , listened for a while and then started after him with a knife , threatening his a e life . When the Chinaman was asked what c us d

so him to become angry , he said the person with the tongues was cursing him and his gods and using other language too shameful to repeat . We have known persons who were reared in homes where several languages were spoken , and while they were unable to speak in more than o n e

O f language , under the hypnotic spell demons in the “ ” s Tongues meeting they have been able to speak ,

me asure in in a , these foreign tongues that they were O familiar with when they were children . f course they would come out O f a spell claiming t o have “ is un de r the Tongues , when the fact , a prolonged

O f nervous strain , through some kind strange phe n o me n a that we are unable to explain , they were GOOD MEMORIES 7 3 enabled t o recall things that had been forgotten fo r the years . We note fact that those who claim to have received the tongues are Of extremely nerv o us e o f e t mperament , many whom , at some tim in ff their lives , have su ered from nervous prostration . The writer is personally acquainted with a number of persons o f this kind who now are identified with “ ” the Tongues movement . It must be remembered that some p e ople have good memories and as they go from place t o place “ ” coming in contact with the Tongues people they learn a sort Of lingo that makes it appear that they “ e All hav received what they call their Pentecost . they need is to utter a few sentences in some fo r e ign tongue and they are fellowshiped as having the baptism Of the Holy Ghost . In this country there are multiplied thousands o f people whose parents e e e wer foreigners , whos native to ngu they never

e o r learn d , but are more less familiar with , and when seeking the tongues it is easy t o recall the e t languag they heard in heir childhood days . We remember certain phrases in the German lan guage that we learned from a neighbor when w e

e is n o wer a child . And this doubt true o f many Of “ ” the Tongues people . Most Of them , we under

s stand , can utter only a few sentences at be t . We asked o n e Of o ur missionarie s if she could

she n t speak German . She said could o , but we found that She c ould understand he r parents when

- e in they w re convers g in the German language . We 6 7 4 DEMONS AND TONGUES suppose that in a “ Tongues meeting they would

call such a person an interpreter . We have he ard persons in the Western states mimic Chinamen p e r fe ctl so ffe y , that it was impossible to tell the di r “ ” To n ue ism ence . And when g is sifted down it will be found that the cunning craftiness of de p rav e d humanity figures in it more prominently o n e o f than any has any idea . C HAPT E R VII

with such rapidity around the globe . The soil o f fl e shly lusts has been so well prepared among back sliders that there has been no difficulty for heresy to and witchcraft , the works of the flesh , become strongly rooted .

o f The colored race are the descendants Ham ,

familar and all , perhaps , are with the conditions

o n o o n his e t o do s . There was blush che k when

who was t o fl eshl He was a man , no doubt , given y E lusts , and as the curse fell upon Adam and ve in

disob e die nce so the Garden for , God in like manner , sent a curse upon Ham for his lack o f modesty and

fo r his respect father .

for e With due consideration the color d people ,

e and with a heart interest in th ir spiritual uplifting , we must say it was very fitting that the devil should “ ” choose a colored man t o launch o ut the Tongues movement in which the works o f the flesh are so 80 DEMONS AND TONGUES plainly manifest in these last days when the Old Red Dragon has well -nigh swallowed up every re ~

i o n l gio us move ment the globe . There is no other race through which the D ragon could work more effectually than through the colored race . The colored people to -day are not responsible

sin e for the of Ham , and can r ceive salvation through the atonement like all other nationalities that have come under the curse of the sin o f o ur

first parents . But that does not alter the fact that the curse o f fl e shly lusts did especially fall upon

e Ham and his desc ndants , and every colored person should be enlightened on this subject so that he may make vigorous warfare on this the besetting sin of

our his race . It is duty to deal with every indi vidual in such a manner as to be helpful to him in w making the fight against the orld , the flesh and the devil , and when we discover the weak places in people ’ s characters we should deal with them o f honestly and with a spirit divine love , warning

se t them against the traps the enemy has for them , and help to build them up rather than let them go o n in ignorance and lose their souls .

so The conditions were dreadful in Sodom , where the people were cursed with the sins o f the flesh that the men would have done violence to the angels who came to warn Lot if they had not been restrained . No wonder the wrath o f God burned against them and rained fire down upon th e m . The contaminating influence o f Sodom was so great S ODOM 81

Lo e o f that t , with the assistanc the angels , could

o f not delive r all the members his family . While his wife was being hastened from the city she looked back with longing eyes up o n Sodom and the lightning o f God struck her and turned her t o a pil lar o f salt . What an awful lesson for those who are fondly twining their affections around things that pertain t o the flesh ! Men and women pamper the flesh and indulge the appetites until they become so weak in mind , body and soul that they are almost beyond

e D r covery . The Red ragon , through the flesh , has cut human life down until people are old and feeble when they ought to be in th e ir prime God had t o smite the men in Sodo m with blindness t o keep them from seeking to carry o ut their evil designs

o f s with the angels . Think the e depraved human s beings , the la t night in Sodom , with the persistency ’ o f demons trying to force open the door o f Lot s house bent o n accomplishing their nefarious pur o o n p oses . The Almighty let these things g down record for an object lesson to the world . He raised the curtain for a short time and exposed their shame l and debauchery before he let it fa l , never to rise O D e again . The ld Red ragon had swallow d the whole city and with wide open mouth was ready to devour the angels from heaven . ’ Lot s plea to stop at ! oar was a plea for the

f was indulgence o the flesh . He not ready , like E o . lijah , t gird up his loins and run for his life His 82 D EMONS AND TONGUES mu scles had become soft and his will power so weakened by the life in Sodom that it seemed a great undertaking to him to go any great distance from the city . The angel , seeing his weakn e ss , granted

st 0 ! his request to p at oar until , perhaps , he could ff recuperate and make another e ort , but before he was in a place of safety he had to reach the moun

are are tains . There some persons who unused to the rugged way o f the Cross whom the Lord will

o r bear with for a time , but sooner later they must reach the mountain top , where the flesh , with the f a fections and lusts , must be crucified . When Joshua entered Canaan God commanded

n H him to utterly exterminate the Canaa ites . e was to make no covenants with them nor show any mercy .

in The Canaanites , descendants of Ham , like the habitants of Sodom and Gomorrah , had become so corrupt they were unfit to encumber the ground and

in i God determined to destroy them . Their cup of q uit y was full , and while they were giants , Joshua was

o n e h told to fear not their faces . At time God sent ail stones upon thearmies that fo ught against Joshua and killed more of them than were killed by the sword . H e caused the sun and the moon to stand still fo r a whole day when he was being avenged upon these

o ne workers of iniquity . God will fight for any

o n e who will make war the flesh . The uns en armies of heaven are at the command o f those who wage vigorous warfare against all the sins o f the “ flesh . He says of his spiritual priesthood , But FALLEN AN GELS 83

e O le l an holy nation , a peculiar p p ; that ye shou d Show forth the p raises o f him who hath called ” yo u out o f darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter When the Syrians warred against Israel the Lord opened the eyes of El ijah ’ s servant that he might se e the innumerable host of heaven that was ready to take part in the battle The mountain s E “ were full of chariots and horses . lisha said , Fear n ot fo r , they that be with us are more than they ” that be with the m . This shows how the angels o f God are engaged with us in battle against the

o f e Many them are ambitious to become great lead rs , as is clearly manifested by the way they work through human beings who try to obtain honors ’ and distinction in this world . I f Satan s ambition

o f was to excel the Almighty God , of course many those who co -operate with him are o fa similar char
