SOME QUEER FACTS OF THE
CATHOLIC" BIBLE.

GO. OIL New DIRK, and was approved
by James Cardinal Gibbons, the
great Catholic monster of papal pow
er in America.
If you will allow me space in your
messenger of TRUTH" the Jefferso-
MAN. | would like to share with
your readers, some criticisms on the
teaching Of this Catholic Bible In
Acts 238, where our King James
translation says, repent and be bap-
tized," this Catholic Bible says, "do
penance, and be baptized" | have
also, another one of their books en-
titled, Roman Catholicism" And
marked with emphasis, "The Peo-
pies Book" This last book, which
seems to be practical interpreter,
says that doing penance'' consists
Of devotional process by which
faltering members get straight with
God, from fall after baptism. Ac-
cording to their definition of the
word "penance," can't see how the
5000 on the day of 'Pentecost" had
time to go through with the neces-
sary Catholic maneuvering (for they
have lot of it, and get through
in time to be baptized that same day.
A great many people are already
little skeptiCal over the suppositiOn
that they were all dipped that same
day, without any of this penance de-
lay. Then again, I can't see how
this work could come under their
definition for the 'penance' is
again quoted in their Bible, as com
ing before baptism
ID Rom. 7-2 of this Catholie BIZ
BILE which Mr.. Gibbons approved, it
reads thus: THE woman that hath
g husband, while her husband liveth
is bound to the law. But if her
husband be dead, she is Ioos9d from
the law of her husband. Therefore,
whilst her husband liveth, she shall
be called an aduteress, if SHE be
with another man; but if her hus-
band be dead, she is delivered from
the law Of her husband; 50 that she
is not an adulteress, if she be with
another man" l have quoted it just
as find it in this book. Now read
our King James bible, and see the
difference now. Let q young priest
read from their Bible and explain
this scripture to young widow who
has lately lost her husband, and
needs cOnsoling: let him also eX-
plain that it is Gods desire that she
marry no more, let him explain also,
that it is his (Priests) duty to put
away all sins of the flesh, and that
he is sent Of God and cannot sin;
then you have CATHOLICISM"
What do you think of it "boys?"
Where is your rope? Where is there
a STOPPING tree?
When this kind of teaching is
brought to bear upon our women.
and at the same time our children
are being taught by the nuns, that
they, (the nuns) are better than the
children's own mother, and that the
priests are better than the children's
own father, and let the Catholic
garb' which tho nuns and priests
constantly wear be ever before their
faces as an object lesson of what
they have SO learned, then and there
the whole affair formulates a system
of corrupting influence, that fair
minded and moral people are not
willing to tolerate. The Protestant
teachers do not use such uniforms,
Or they would be objected to by 9TH
CT denominations, the same as the
Catholics. 1t is not so much on ac-
count Of their being Catholics, that
they are being objected to in Florida,
as teachers of public schools, but
more because Of their Catholic in
fuences' in the schools. The pub
lie schools do not want religious in
