Ahu uOW. lhC TilSS5 was OJ
our Slue but could lot help US.
We mad to .OOk 10 some Other
source, Iur the cleansing power
The world fadeu away, tue
Priest sunk out of sight.
At this moment. The Christ
the reaeemer OF manklnd APP
peared upon TIC scene with his
cleansing power. and beat back
the powers Ut darkness, and the
glOfious sunlight, of the golden
day Oh life shOne over our lmmor-
tai soul and VIC were made free
indeed.
So dear Catholic reader we ask
you to stop and think. That is
think that when you 80 into tie
confession BOX, vIerc you have
to Imagine Jesus Christ in per-
son setting there III The Priest"
And yet you might be looking on
one who has gwen his entire be.
ing unto Satan \ i there can
be n1tnln2 mere sure, than he is
the servant ut stu. For his
teachings is wrong. For when
he claims that he has power to
forgive sins, he knows he is
wrong, and cannot do that.
Therefore he becomeS an i'm,
poster. The Priests may say to
you that the apostles had this
power. And that this power
was banded down from the A,
postles TO the Pope of the pres
ent time and from him to the
priests. And in order for the
penetant to get the benefit OF
this power, he must go into a
confession box And there cor
Tess all his sinA+he has committed
10 Il priest dolly authorized t., re
ceive them. And pay ,he priest
an amount of money to S4tisfy ~
that YOU already paid him. Then
with an up lifted hand says y
absolve thee from thy sins
and from that very moment the
sinner is parduued for ali eter
nifty"
! My Catholic Reader, here is
where it is time for you to begin
tn think for Yourself. Aud to
zee who you are serving, whether
it is God or man, and to know
for yrueseiT whether or no you
arc a slave, to those inposters.
For when you are under the
belief of the confession box
which all Catholics are-yor
then are a slave to the priest I'm
der this unScciptural belief.
This we prove from the occur
ance happening on the day @
Penticost, when the Apostles
was asked by many new con
verts, the question, Men ane
brethren what shall we do?" anc
Peter replied.
Then Peter said unto them Rcrcut and b
baptized every one of you in the name of Jcsu
Christ for the remission of sins and yc shs
receive the gift of he Holy Ghost.
For the pron,isc is unto you and to YOU,
Children ana TO all that are afar oil even Il
many as the Lo d orr God shall cnll.
Acts. 'a-3e-eH
Peter did not say to some
'!priest, raise up your hand anc
absolve these who are beginning
to know what to 90, from tbeil
sins Hut said untn them Re

Of the Lord Jesue for TEE re
MISSION OF SINs Peterdid no
