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

Mr. Mind the Clerk

"All the associations of the Will are consistent with its present depraved condition. The Mind is subject to the Will. As the Will dictates, so the Mind conceives and brings forth its thoughts, and develops them into deeds. The Will that is itself perverse will be sure to pervert the mind. Thus the joint action of the Will and the Mind in the service of Satan is for the uprooting of all holy principles, the casting away of the last small remnant of God’s word treasured up in the soul, the darkening of every gleam of light that dawns upon the understanding, and the violent resistance to the calls and admonitions of the conscience of man."[2]
