This discourse produced such an effect, that when he descended from the pulpit, many of the congregation pressed forward to shake him by the hand; and he is now in a more fragrant odour of sanctity than ever." THIS DISCOURSE PRODUCED SUCH AN EFFECT THAT WHEN HE DESCENDED FROM THE PULPIT MANY OF THE CONGREGATION PRESSED FORWARD TO SHAKE HIM BY THE HAND AND HE IS NOW IN A MORE FRAGRANT ODOR OF SANCTITY THAN EVER
 anything monstrous or preposterous that may be proclaimed or established under the cloak of religion. The greater the falsehood, the more greedily it is swallowed. There is that scoundrel and hypocrite Sheepshanks, for instance, who was so completely exposed a few weeks ago: he has taken a chapel somewhere in the Tottenham Court Road, and preached for the first time last Sunday. He has now become a dissenter; and in his initial sermon he dwelt boldly and long on the errors of which he had been guilty. He declared that he had been sorely beset by Satan, to whom he had for a time succumbed: hence his disgraceful fall. But he proceeded to aver that he and Satan had since then had a long and desperate struggle together, throughout an entire night, in his bed-chamber; and that he eventually succeeded in sending the Evil One howling away just as the day broke. He therefore proclaimed that he had now emancipated himself from the thraldom of hell, and was a chosen vessel of heaven once again. IFEST TO PUT FAITH IN ANYTHING MONSTROUS OR PREPOSTEROUS THAT MAY BE PROCLAIMED OR ESTABLISHED UNDER THE CLOAK OF RELIGION THE GREATER THE FALSEHOOD THE MORE GREEDILY IT IS SWALLOWED THERE IS THAT SCOUNDREL AND HYPOCRITE SHEEP SHANKS FOR INSTANCE WHO WAS SO COMPLETELY EXPOSED A FEW WEEKS AGO HE HAS TAKEN A CHAPEL SOMEWHERE IN THE TOTTENHAM COURT ROAD AND PREACHED FOR THE FIRST TIME LAST SUNDAY HE HAS NOW BECOME A DISSENTER AND IN HIS INITIAL SERMON HE DWELT BOLDLY AND LONG ON THE ERRORS OF WHICH HE HAD BEEN GUILTY HE DECLARED THAT HE HAD BEEN SORELY BESET BY SATAN TO WHOM HE HAD FOR A TIME SUCCUMBED HENCE HIS DISGRACEFUL FALL BUT HE PROCEEDED TO AVER THAT HE AND SATAN HAD SINCE THEN HAD A LONG AND DESPERATE STRUGGLE TOGETHER THROUGHOUT AN ENTIRE NIGHT IN HIS BED CHAMBER AND THAT HE EVENTUALLY SUCCEEDED IN SENDING THE EVIL ONE HOWLING AWAY JUST AS THE DAY BROKE HE THEREFORE PROCLAIMED THAT HAD NOW EMANCIPATED HIMSELF FROM THE THRALDOM OF HELL AND WAS A CHOSEN VESSEL OF HEAVEN ONCE AGAIN
