Prison Walls Built with Clay and Paper

Needy Miners and settlers in British Columbia were stripping Fort Alcan of lumber, electrical appliances, and plumbing when they made an amazing discovery. While dismantling the jail they found that the mighty locks were attached to the heavy doors, and two-inch steel bars covered the windows, but the walls of the prison were only wallboard made of clay and paper, painted to look like iron. A good heave against the wall by a man would have burst the wall out. Nobody ever had tried because nobody thought it was possible. Many Christians are prisoners of fears that that are nothing when pushed against. Satan can do nothing against a son of God, but he loves to put barriers of paper-mache in the path of a believer to make him think he is stopped. (Source Unknown).
