JOHN BRENNAN'S LIE.
It Travelled Round the World and
 Caused Lots ot Anxiety.

N bTdvSb0o nO0uU eu0 pvOtbO ~Vo
 Caused Lots ot Anxiety.
 One of the silliest lies ever told was the famous invention of Sailor man John Brennan of Sligo. It was made out of whole cloth. There wasn't the shadow of foundation for it, but there was so much that might have been true about it that it was cabled round the world where ever men go down to the sea in ships, and for several hours it kept hundreds of people on the rack of anxiety.
 About 3 o'clock in the afternoon of Oct. IA, 1891, a bulletin was post ed at the New York Maritime Ex- change that the City of Rome had foundered off St. Shotts, off the coast of Newfoundland. About the same time the newspaper offices got dis patch from St. Johns, N. F., saying that Sailorman John Brennan of Sligo, Ireland, had got into the lit tie town of Trepassy that morning from Peters river and had declared that he was probably the only sur vivor of the City of Rome, which had struck on the rocks and gone down. He was in such a condition of exhaustion that nothing more could be got out of him until he had had rest and nourishment.
 That story was cabled and tele- graphed everywhere, and at once the newspapers began to strive for further details. The first effort was to get confirmation or denial. It was found at once that the City of Rome had sailed from New York at such a time that she must have been near St. Shotts when Brennan said she was there. That looked like confirmation. The evening papers got out extras, with lists of the pas sengers and crew, pictures of the ship and her history. The offices of the Anchor line agents were crowded with persons eager for news. But there was no news. Friends of the passengers focked about the place. The Maritime and Lloyd's registers were searched for reports of other ships with names similar to that of the City of Rome. An Italian Citta di Roma was found, but when she was tracked it was found she was all right.
 Then the newspapers began to prepare to send men to the scene of the wreck. Boston papers got men off for Halifax, there to take ocean tugs for St. Shotts. All the time the telegraph and cable were work ed for further news from Newfound- land. At last there came dispatch from the cable station at Cape Race to the Anchor line agents here:
 "Your City of Rome passed here on Tuesday. All well," it said.
 That was alI For the next twen- ty-four hours the truth hustled to overtake the lie. It succeeded, but it was q hard chase. Brennan had absolutely nothing on which to go in making up his story He couldn't have known even that the City of Rome was in New York or had sail ed. He just fired in the air, and, as may happen once in ten million times, he hit the mark.

A Sharp Buyer.

An Irishman passing a shop where d notice was displayed saying that everything was sold by the yard thought he would play joke on the shopman, so he entered the shop and asked for yard of milk. The shopman. not in the least taken aback, dipped his fingers in bowl of milk and drew line yard long on the counter. Pat, not wishing to be caught in his own trap, asked the price,
 "Sixpence," said the shopman.
 All right, sorr," said Pat. Roll it up; I'll take it" "-Dublin Express.

Bro, Garrett VIII you please
Iexplain thru your paper, this; -
lst. Cor, $50. For our learn
ing and instruction.
| | wish 10 thank ynu for past
favors. remain your Brother
IN Christ. L. G. Morrow, Il, |.
Now friend Marrow we cstce u
| it as favor, that you have asked
this al important question.
For it certainly does US good
that we can have the priviledgc
OF answering questions. That
men who believe in the one man
theory cannot answer satisfac.
tory. For we believe that with
the Two men theory we have the
key that unlocks the entire truth
to men who are seeking after
truth. And this fact we set
forth as q mission work Of the
CREssET. And the Editor
thinks that he is loing Gods
service. when he answers the
Bible questions asked by the
people.
So we say that We appreciate
any Bible question, that may be
asked by anyone, let his or her
belief be what it mag. The next
thing for ny to do DIS we look at
the truth is TO say something to
cause the reader TO go to think.
ing. For, since the theory of
the one man has been set up
which was in the beginning of
the sixteenth century. men has
not thought for themselves.
For this reason we first ask,
who it was then and should be
now baptized for the dead9
And second, who were the
dead that those had to be Dap
tizad Tor?
And third, Why did they have
to be baptized for the dead?
And fourth, the resurrection?
Now we have before our readers,
foa: propositions. Those pro.
positions cannot be answered
satisfactory under the one mcn
theory, that is. the theory that
Adam ia the garden was the
first man. This is a false theory
and makes more divisions. and
suparstitons than all other the
cries put together. For Goa
has said in his word that he
created a man male and fg,oale
on the sixth day, please read:
And God said, Let rs make man in our
image after our likeness: anu let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
the earth and over every creeping thing that
crccpeth upon the earth.
50 Goa createdma in his own image in the
image of God created he him male and female
created he them. Gen. l-a6-27
Then after he rested one day
He formed another man, please
read:
And the Lord God formed man Of the dust
Of tue ground and brcathed into his nostrils
the breath of life and man became living
soul -
and the Lord God took the man and put him
into the garden Of eden to Dire IS it and keep it.
Gen. . :, f y Is
This is the second man, and
God gave the first man dominion
over all the earth, and the sec.
ond one he placed in a garden.
Dear reader we shall ans wer
the second proposition first, and
then the first, The second pro.
position is who We're the dead?
Those who we're called dead
men were the ones, created on
the sixth day. They only lived
for this life and at death they
were no more. they went down
! to silence. The first evidence
that we shall give on this point
is this:
But God came to AbimeeUh in dream by
night u.l,l said to him behold thou art but a
dead man for the woman which thou hast

TO QUESTION NO. 50


Christ had to be atoned for, and
for this reason there was a por.
ton of the Jews as above stated
were baptized for them. There.
fore Paul said.
And 50 il written The t:rSt man A,tam was
made living soul the last Adam was made
YairAeDinE spirit. .ar y -
This proves TO Us jus5 what We
said above. Adam in the garden
was made q living soul, as it
reads;
And the Lord God formed nan " Tue ,l,.s..
OF Che srnunl and hrea,sed into his i,ossri.s
the nrca'h Of life; and nan became IL living
aou!. Gen. 2 T
This man was the first COM
plete man, He had both the nat.
ural and the spiritual life in him
This the created man did not
have the one created on the sixth
day spoken of in (Gen. 1 -2G-27)
This man was not a complete
man as it reads,
They have moved me to ieal.
ousy with that which is not God
they have provoked me to anger
with their vanities: and | will
move them to jealousy with
those which are not a people;
I will provoke them to anger
with foolish nation"
(Deut, 32-31)
We learn by this that the Gen.
tiles were not complete people
until after Christ died on the
cross then Peter said.
But We are chosen genera
ton royal priesthood an holy
nation peculiar people that We
should shew forth the praises of
him who hath called you out of
darkness into his mary elIous
light.
Which in tine past we're not Q
people, but are now the people
OF God which had not obtained
mercy, bat now have obtained
mercy ]. Peter. a-0-lu
And it was for this reason that
Christ went ard preached 10 the
dead as he says.
''l'or for This cause was the
gospel preached also to them
that ore dead that they might be
judged according to men in the
flesh but live according to God
in the spirit" Il Peter. 4-6)
This is the second Adam that
was made quicking spirit, they
were quickened from the dead
by Christ, anGChrist made them
a people, a living people, that is
a complete people. This was the
reason for others being baptlz.
ed for them. They were not a
complete people until this time
and the reason they we're not
complete they lacked salvation
eternal life) Please read.
I say then have they STUN.
bled that they should fail? God
forbid but rather through their
fall salvation is come unto the
Gentiles for to provoke them to
jealousy" (Rom. LTD
The reader mus5 see what The
Gentiles lacked to make them a
people. This the Israelites did
not lack. This ended the proyerb
of the eating of the sour grapes
and the time has now come when
every one has to die for their
own sins. For this reason we
repeat that the first believers of
the 1sraclites had to be baptized
for the Gentiles that was resur.
rected from the graves. Now
dear readers il you say that VIC
are not right. Then of necessity
you will have to take the Roman
Catholic Theory, and that is that
there is a purgatory aud that
when a soul goes there and not
baptized then it becomes neces
airy for some one living To be
baptised for them, that they may
be taken out of purgatory. This
we know is not the fact. Hence
we must accept the truth of Gods
