charms


The most powerful charm of Satan(Brooks, "The Golden Key to Open Hidden Treasures")Honors, riches, and pleasures are the three deities, which all people adore, and to whom they continually sacrifice their best thoughts and energies. These, for their unparalleled vanity, may well be called "the vanity of vanities!"Honors, riches, and pleasures are but . . . a mere shadow, a vapor, a feather in the cap, a breath, a froth, a dream, a nothing.They are without true substance. Like in a dream, you imagine they have substance--you grasp at them and awake--and they are nothing!And yet, they are the most powerful charm of Satan, whereby he lulls men to sleep in the paradise of fools; to cast them, after they die, into the bottomless pit of eternal woe!
