luck would follow the person having
possession of it in the event that i

There was likewise promise thai

According to the history of the
letter it was written by Christ just
after his crucifixion, signed by the
Angel Gabriel ninety-nine years after
the Savior's birth and presumably
deposited by him under stone at the
foot of the cross.
On this stone appeared the legend,
Blessed is he who shall turn me
over"

meant, or seemed to have sufficient
curiosity to investigate, until the stone
was turned over by a little child and
the letter which follows was dis
covered.
whatsoever works on the Sabbath
day shall be cursed. command you
to go to church and keep holy the
Lords day, without any manner of
work. You shall not idle or mis-
spend your time in bedecking YOUR

and vain dressing, for l have ordered
it day of rest. will have that day
kept holy that your sins may be for
given you.
You will not break my command
ments, but observe and keep them,
they being written by my hand
spoken from my mouth. You shall

Good Friday and continuing the five
days following in remembrance of the

cause them that are not baptized to
