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

Mr. No-Truth

He defaced the image of Shaddai, and replaced it with an image of Diabolus.[3]

"NO-TRUTH is that principle of the reprobate mind that strives to banish God from even the thought of the heart. It was this element of the soul that destroyed the image and erased the superscription of SHADDAI from the gates, and set up the image of DIABOLUS. When this rabid form of sin lays hold upon the heart, it seeks to destroy every trace and vestige of even the remembrance of God. Well is it for the soul when it gains the mastery over this element of the carnal nature."[2]
