lust; the very embodiment
and focus of the virus of hell. 1t
is the very matter and pus that
runs from the corpse in hell. 1t is
the pollution and rottenness of the
decay of ages. 1t is the cesspool, the
recipient, the reservoir of lust, of
vile thought and communication,
adultery; the birthplace of sexual
criminality with mems wives and
young girls, and the convent is
earth's terminus and hell, the lake of
fire is the dumping ground 1t is
the criminal college; the mother of
prostitution; the author of pauper-
ism. From it emenates poison to
society, homes, our schools and gov
eminent. [ speak in love. No time
to trifle. The Anaconda is drawing
itself over many a threshold and
singing thousands to death Hank!
A voice from the tomb; the blood of
the innocent crying out. In what
sense is the confessional box needed?
The WOrd of God says in John 1:9:
IF we confess our sins, He is faith
full and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unright-
eousness.
You go direct to God Almighty,
through Jesus Christ, to confess your
s1ns-not in a concealed and Sc
cluded place and alone. No wife can
go with her husband. Here the priest
asks the vilest of questions, and of
course the husband could not be
present. He asks the most delicate
and intimate questions. But under
ic, 10
priest? What business has he to get
in box and ask delicate females
questions that no minister of Jesus
Christ or true gentleman on earth
would ask? Right here in the con-
fesslonal many have been ruined, and
many become mothers as a result:
and, men, you are paying your mon
ey to priests and to a church that is
running your daughters, and stealing
the affections of your wife until he
knows more about her than you do.
She has many secrets kept from you,
husband, but not from that licentious
priest
This is all true, dear reader, and
can be proved by thousands of wit
nesses. May it not we'll be called
THE Open Door to Hell?" Last
month dear brother gave "The Cos
pei Worker" to some in the place
where he was at work, in this city.
1t was the January number, with the
article, Break Open the Doors and
Look H." and it caused much excite
ment. Bloody threats and curses
were made, and two could not sleep
all night-they were so stirred over
the truth in it. Was any one ever
benefited in any way by going to the
confessional box? If it is advice you
need, why go to that secret place?
Dear reader, Jesus Christ never
instituted the confessional. Would
He call luStful, licentious, drinking
men to ask you such low, vile ques-
lions, which are unbecoming to any
one to ask another? I am sure you
say no, and begin to see the awful
ness of it. You might as we'll con-
TESS to dead dog. The Romish
Church teaches you can not be saved
unless you confess to priest Read
this from their own teaching: eff
any one shall say that priests who are
in mortal sin have not the power of
binding or lOosing, or that priests
are not the only ministers of absolu-
ton, let him be accursed" This
does away with Jesus blood. 1t
makes God second to this fellow in
the confessional box They say that
every sin, the vilest and lowest, and
most criminal, by man or woman,
