Christ gave his own life that men and women might be lifted above the cheap, common, perishable things of this world, to the life which measures with the life of God. But Satan has thrown his shadow athwart the pathway of thousands. He desires to darken the spiritual horizon by eclipsing the light shining from the throne of God. He is pleased when man uses his God-given powers in games and amusements, in selfish nothingness.

Kristus gav sit eget liv, så mænd og kvinder kunne løftes op over billige, almindelige og forgængelige ting i denne verden, til det liv der måler sig med Guds liv. Men Satan har kastet sin skygge tværs over tusinders stivej. Han ønsker at formørke den åndelige horisont ved at fordunkle lyset, der skinner fra Guds trone. Han er tilfreds når mennesker bruger deres gudgivne kræfter til spil og fornøjelser, til selvisk intethed.
