Of all the myths which have come down to us from the East, and of all the creations of Western fancy and belief, the Personality of Evil has had the strongest attraction for the mind of man. The Devil is the greatest enigma that has ever confronted the human intelligence.

It is to be hoped that a new interest in the religion of the Celts may thereby be aroused. Large print 17 point font.
The reader will find in this book a firm assurance of God's care of mankind as a whole and of each human being.

Wherein especially the Three Principles are founded, which are the only original or fountain whence all things flow and are generated. Large 12 point font, Not a scanned book, new reprinted edition.
