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

Mr. Profane

"The hearer of the letter—Mr. PROFANE—indicates that spirit in man that sets at nought things Divine, and urges the soul to direct communication with the Evil One. Every evil thought or desire in the heart is a medium of communication with Satan; for in entertaining such, we consult his pleasure, and, as it were, seek counsel at his lips."[2]
