    He came again and made furious attempts to get at the man but by the power of the priest he had to withdraw again.
    The third time he appeared, flames of fire blazed from his mouth and nostrils and he roared like a wild beast. He did his best to get at the man but the power of the minister of God was again too great for him and he disappeared never to interfere with that man again.
