DEMONS

There are grades in devilry as there are in human sin. All men are evil, but all men are not alike evil. All devils are full of sin, but they are not all sinful to the same degree. Do we not read in Scripture, “Then goeth he and taketh unto him seven other spirits more wicked than himself?” It may be there is a gradation in the wickedness of devils, and perhaps, also, in their power to fulfil their wicked impulses. 549.27
