FOREWORD
There is a great lesson for all women and men in this wonderful story.It is one that will impress with its power. But I am glad to say that Ido not believe fully in its truth. The Devil here wins his victory, ashe has won many. But each year, as men and women get better, thevictories of Satan are fewer. Good men and good women fight against eviland do not yield.
This tragic, heart-breaking story, by the wonderful new writer, tellsone side of the battle between good and evil that goes on in every humanheart. It has its lesson for all men and women.
It is a powerful warning against playing with fire. Its lesson, taughtin the downfall of the man and woman, is "Keep away from evil, and theappearance of evil."
Beatrice Fairfax.
