I have heard conflicting meanings of "dark satanic mills". Do you know of a commentary (sp?) which will give me an insight? I feel sure one of you will be able to clear up the meaning for me. I never cease to be amazed at the helpful people on AB.

Thankyou., Mustafatickl . The two interpretations given in your link are the ones I have heard, but still don't know the answer. I don't think we ever will. In his sermon today the Minister certainly offered the mills in the cities; I nearly started a discussion with him after the service, but thought better of it!
Kind regards,
E.
