THE IMMACULATE CoNCEPT1oN.-The
more we think upon this abominable dog
ma, the more VIC become dlsgusted. The
idea that the Virgin Mary. was born with
out original sin is simply ridiculous, and
the vicegerent of Satan, who styles himself
the "vicegerent of Christ" knew when
he announced his decision, that he was SEN
ding forth into the world one of the most
outrageous falsehoods which human being
could invent.
The Papal Church has always worshiped
the Virgin, and have always addressed her
by the most blasphemous titles. Only look
at some of them, for instance:-" "Queen Of
Heaven" Mother of God," "Mediatrix," ="
&C., &C.; actually taking the glory and
honor from Father and Son, which belongs
to them alone, and bestowing it upon her
And no Plus TX, with true papal effron
terry, announces as bis decision that she
was bred without sin. Can anything be
more absurd, more revolving, nay, more
blasphemous. We cannot bring our minG
to believe that it will have the effect inten
ded, we cannot believe that poor human ma
ture, frail as it is, will swallow this las
piece of Romish humbuggery, but OH the
contrary we do believe that it will eventu
ally be among the things which will lea(
to the overthrow of him "who sits in tn
Temple of God, showing himself that h
is God" That that time will come W
have no doubt, for Holy Writ gives sur
promise of it, and, though a Being Q
'long suffering" God will not permit sue
blasphemy to endure forever The bound
of this damnable system of deception an
wickcdness are set, beyond them it canno
