30 BEGONE SATAN
"Yes, what he says is true. My auto is a complete
wreck. But he was not able to harm me personally."
A quick reply came from the devil : "Our aim was
to get you, but somehow our plans were thwarted. It
was your powerful Patron Saint who prevented us
from harming you."
News of this accident soon spread abroad and the
people in deep sympathy with their beloved pastor,
collected enough money to buy him a new car, so that
the devil would receive no satisfaction from his pranks.
Again and again the devil gleefully reminded the pastor
of this incident and warned him to "be ready for a
whole lot more of fun."
The devil also betrayed himself by saying that he
is often the cause of similar accidents in order to bring
people to quicker ruin.
In that way he can get his revenge
and give vent to his anger because lawsuits frequently
result as a consequence, which, in turn, are responsible
for much hatred and misunderstanding
among people.
The reader may make his own conclusions and
resolutions regarding this. It cannot be so readily
denied that the enemy of mankind actually plays a
great part in such accidents. Is he not a "man-killer
from the very beginning?" Hence a timely warning to
those who use the auto for evil purposes, who decorate
it with all sorts of nonsense and who even display
figures alluringly immoral. The Church has provided
a special blessing under the protection of St.
Christopher
against evil and disastrous influences.
Therefore,
it is customary to put one of these blessed medals or
medallions in cars for safety's sake. St. Paul calls
attention to the fact that the very air is filled with
evil spirits.

It should be noted that Satan did not use the tongue
of the poor possessed woman to make himself understood.
The helpless creature had been unconscious
during the greater part of the trial.
Her mouth was
