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

Ear-gate


"This was the gate of audience, and through this gate the words of the tempter must penetrate, if the temptation is to be successful. Into the ears of our first mother did the wily serpent whisper the glozing words of his seductive wiles; and through Ear-gate he assailed her heart, and won it. To give audience to the tempter is the next step to yielding up obedience to his will."[2]
