Deceptive Benefits—Those who give themselves up to the sorcery of Satan, may boast of great benefit received, but does this prove their course to be wise or safe? What if life should be prolonged? What if temporal gain should be secured? Will it pay in the end to have disregarded the will of God? All such apparent gain will prove at last an irrecoverable loss. We cannot with impunity break down a single barrier which God has erected to guard His people from Satan’s power.—The Review and Herald, January 15, 1914. {Ev 606.4}

Bedragerisk hjælp. - Dem som giver sig selv til Satans trolddom, kan prale af den hjælp de får, men viser det at deres handlemåde er klog og sikker? Hvad hvis livet blev forlænget? Hvad hvis (607) der sikres timelig vinding? Vil det betale sig til sidst at ignorere Guds vilje? Al den slags tilsyneladende vinding, vil i sidste ende vise sig som uopretteligt tab. Vi kan ikke ustraffet nedbryde en eneste barriere som Gud har rejst, for at vogte Sit folk fra Satans magt.- The Review and Herald, 15. januar, 1914.
