n or woman, with a pen in hand and an unoccupied chamber in
the heart, and the breed of Devils who hang about the domestic hearth,
hoping to find rooms to let, chuckle in glee.

Wives who have believed themselves happy and satisfied, husbands who
have been unconscious of any lack in their lives, have fallen by the
wayside through an interesting correspondence with some sympathetic
"affinity," who was Devil-instructed to lead them into trouble.

After a man or woman falls into the Devil's snare they both call it
Fate, and proclaim their inability to combat the powerful influence of
"destiny."

But destiny is _man himself_.

The Angel dwells always within him, ready to say, "Get thee behind me,
Satan," if the man really wants it said.

The Angel and the Devil both are completely under man's control; the
work of man, here in this sphere and in every other, is to develop the
_character which will enable him to get back to the Source_.

Unless the man directs the Angel to take the ascendancy, there would be
no growth in wisdom for him were the Angel to interpose. So he remains
silent and lets the Devil do his work, in order that man may find out
for himself the pain and folly of such dominion; and in order that when
he again encounters the Devil, either in this plane of existence or some
other, he may be able to say as Christ said, "Get thee behind me."

Always have there been Devils; always will there be Devils, while
humanity is evolving from the lower to the higher states.

But always is there the Angel, ready to lead the soul to conquest and
victory if the soul will call.
