Letter Attributed
To The Savior
Those Who Keep Copy In the House
Believed to Have Peculiar Bless
ings. Curse Put on Anyone Who
Falls to Give II Publicity

A letter purporting to have been
written by Christ after the crucifi xion
and deposited by Him under stone
at the foot of the cross is being gil
EN- wide circulation by the newspapers
Of the country. A Logan woman has
clipped It from the Herald Repuhi.
can and asked The Logan Republican
to reprint 1t.
An Injunction to have the letter
published has frightened some into
whose hands II has fallen, and, Ike
the cd chain prayer, 1t threatens mis-
fortune on those who deliberately
withhold 1t from others. The belief
that Christ really gave the Ietic. to
be srread broadcast has inspired
many to aid in giving 1t publication.
The story Is that little child turned
the stone under which the letter was
hidden and that the document was
given to a convert to the Christian
faith.
This convert kept It as sac"s d
nomento of Christ and down through
generations in his family 1t was Until
100 years were passed. Misfortune
attended the family always, accorl-
ing to the tale and at last one IF the
members came to America, bri lging
the letter with him. Mrs. Fannie
Workman Of Marion, Ind, claims TO
know the history of the document
from that time on. According TO her,
the owner of it went to Virginia and
after a series of misfortunes The last
of the family passed out. A Mrs.
Thompson, a neighbor Of the family
took the letter and had IL published
in the Rome (Ga.) Tribune of Octo-
Der 81, 1891. Mrs. Workman cut it
out and kept 1t in her home. She
mrde no attempt to have It repub-
liGhed until lately, and says that she
wa punished for her failure to give
it publicity.

suffered misfortune until she printed
