The last, I think; for, O my poor old Harry Jekyll, if ever I read Satan's signature upon a face, it is on that of your new friend."
If thou didst but get this art, so as to outrun him in his own shoes, as I may say, and to make his own darts to pierce himself, then thou mightest also say, Now do Satan's temptations, as well as all other things, work together for my good.
Often have I wondered whether, had a North American Indian, or a South-Sea Islander, visited the place, he could have been persuaded that he had come to a land of Christian men. Certainly an angel from heaven would have looked upon the assemblage as a multitude of Satan's imps let loose upon the world. They tell me that the fair and its bedevilments have pretty well been knocked on the head.
The news soon reach Diabolus, and an infernal conference, or dialogue of devils, is revealed by our author; who had watched the course and causes of spiritual declension, and was not 'ignorant of Satan's devices. The malignant craft and subtilty displayed in Satan's counsel, are described in a manner far beyond an ordinary imagination.
This one a half-breed shepherd was quite friendly, and he received Satan's advances with affable condescension. Then another came and another, and little Satan's head got quite confused.
He passed to the sin of Fra Battista that promising young apostle handled it soberly yet gingerly, hinted extenuating circumstances the pride of life, young blood, the snares of women, Satan's favourite sitting-places, etc. drew a tear or two from his own eyes and floods from La Testolina; and then called Fra Battista to come forth that he might purge himself or be purged by the canon law.

Here, sidling along the floor, she picked up the pink shoes to which Walden had called her attention, first one and then the other. "Well!
"'The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? "No, daughter, one who fears God need fear nothing else; neither men nor devils, for our God is stronger than Satan and all his hosts." "And wicked men are Satan's servants, aren't they, papa?" "Yes; for they do his will; obey his behests."
Satan's service is alluring it begins in pleasure and ends in sorrow "the dead are there!" Christ's service begins in duty and ends in delight "Blessed is the man who endureth temptation." The devil's path is like a forest road at eventide; it grows darker and darker until all is lost in the blackness of the night. Christ's path leads from darkness into light. "He is risen!"
