  SAINT, n.  A dead sinner revised and edited.
      The Duchess of Orleans relates that the irreverent old
  calumniator, Marshal Villeroi, who in his youth had known St. Francis
  de Sales, said, on hearing him called saint:  "I am delighted to hear
  that Monsieur de Sales is a saint.  He was fond of saying indelicate
  things, and used to cheat at cards.  In other respects he was a
  perfect gentleman, though a fool."
  
  

  Saint
     one separated from the world and consecrated to God; one holy by
     profession and by covenant; a believer in Christ (Ps. 16:3; Rom.
     1:7; 8:27; Phil. 1:1; Heb. 6:10).
     
       The "saints" spoken of in Jude 1:14 are probably not the
     disciples of Christ, but the "innumerable company of angels"
     (Heb. 12:22; Ps. 68:17), with reference to Deut. 33:2.
     
       This word is also used of the holy dead (Matt. 27:52; Rev.
     18:24). It was not used as a distinctive title of the apostles
     and evangelists and of a "spiritual nobility" till the fourth
     century. In that sense it is not a scriptural title.

          1.  Symbolic Automatic INTegrator.
       
          2.  Security Administrator's
