Read the Introduction by Rev. Robert Maguire, D. D.

Council of War

"A Council of War.—Devils hold conclave, and speak their mind, as wrath, or hate, or wily policy dictates. Unable to climb to heaven again, and loth to brook submission in their fall, they voted an assault on Mansoul—that holy, happy, innocent place, where Godlike man, the image of his Maker, dwelt. This met with universal approval, was hailed with shouts of joy, and pandemonium echoed to the sound."[2]
