LAST LETTER WRITTEN BY
CHRIST.

SuflSt. LII Ills tetttI was an inJuUc-
ton that it should be published to
the world by whoever found it, to-
gether with the statement that mis-
fortune and bad luck would follow the
person having possession of it--in the
event that it was not given publicity.
There was likewise promise that
whoever may have copy of this in
his or her possession will prosper and
be followed by good fortune.
Denver Weekly Post has received
some hundreds of requests to print
this letter, so if it will relieve the
superstitious fears of any one, here
1t is: According to The history Of
the letter it was written by Christ
just after his crucifixation, signed
by the Angel Gabriel, 80 years after
the Saviour's birth, and presumably
deposited by Him under stone at the
foot of the cross. On this stone ap-
peared the legend, BLESSED is he who
shall turn me over"
No one knew what the inscription
meant or seemed to have sufficient
curiosity to investigate until the stone
was turned over by little child, and
the letter which follows was discover
ed.

The story goes that the little child
who found it passed it to one who
became a convert to the Christian
faith. He kept it, howevr, as sacred
memento of Christ, and it passed
down to different generations of his
family for more than one thousand
years. During this period the family
suffered repeated misfortunes. Migra-
ted to different countries unti' finally
one of them came TO America, bring

tied in Virginia, then moved further
south, still followed by misfortune
when finally the last member daugh-
ter, approached ner death bed and she
called neighbor, Mrs. Thompson,
giving her the letter and related its
history for more than one thousand
