Plot Summary

This Tract starts with a man in a suit walking down the street and who is being observed by demons. He approaches a young man and sits next to him, asking this man if he knows when God was killed. The young man states that he does not know when God was killed, so the man in the suit begins to tell the story of Jesus and His sacrifce for mankind, which results in the young man converting to Christianity. The demons decide to regroup and attempt to stop the young man, using everything they can to dissuade the young man from following Christ, such as familial stigma and the use of a young woman to tempt him. The efforts fail and the demons continue their attempts, but ultimately fail. Their failure to pull the young man away from God results in the demons facing Satan and being punished.
