Mr.. Sunday and all other preachers
who realize the fallacy of this great
doctrine Of devils" q Timothy AID owe
it TO the people who trust them and
| who make UP their collections, to tell
them the truth. More than this, they
owe il to God that this foul stain upon
tile Divine character be denounced
They owe 1t to themselves as men to
stand for and speak out the truth and
to assist iii opening the eyes OF the
poor deluded world
The Pastor hopes that Mr.. Sunday
will yet realize that no one can long
maintain moral standard higher than
that which he attributes to his God
The injustice and persecution Of cen
turtles is largely attributable to the
false doctrines which represent the
Creator as demon who unjustly and
unloying.y created our race with the
knowledge and intention that nine
hundred and ninety nine out of every
thousand would endure an eternity OF
torture. OF this as Gospel the Pastor
has been ashamed for forty-four years
| A better understanding of the Bible
has led him since to preach
The Not Ashamed Gospel of christ.
Beginning his discourse the Pastor
said, Everybody knows that the word
Gospel signifies Good Tidings, as In

Jesus" Behold. bring you Good It'd

all people has been turned completely
