lit possible to know for certain whether
the souls prayed for, actually get out of Pur-
gatory? No!
1t is all matter Of faith.
The peculiar merit of a good Catholic is,
that he believes something so absurd as to be
superhumanly idiotic.
When was Purgatory discovered?
Not until hundreds of years after Christ.
When did the Roman Catholic church first
formally make doctrine Of it?
Not until the Council of Florence, in the
18th century!
IF it is in the Bible, how came they to over
look it SO long?
Let us now turn to the New Testament, and
to the Primitive Fathers, and search for the
true doctrine On this subject.
If there is one fact more wildly set forth
than any other in the Scriptures, it is, that
every soul is to be Judged by the record made
on earth.
The deeds done in the body!
At the Last Day. ''the fire shall try every

When a man is dead his qc0rjss are dead:
there are no more labors no more good deeds,
no more mistakes, no more transgresslonS, no
more joys, or sorrows, smiles or sobs: it is
all done: and the record, finished with the
parting breath, is Interchangeable: what's writ,
is writ.
AS Father Cyprian said, "When we depart
hence there is no more place for penitence, no
more effect Of satisfaction; here, life is either
lost or gained; here, provision is made for
eternal salvation by the worship of God, and
the fruits of faith Let us follow Him.
Here He opens to us the way Of life; here,
He leads us to the Kingdom of Heaven"
The favorite Father of the Roman Cath
olics is St. Augustine, who says
'Whoever finishes this life can have moth
ing after 1t, except what he merited IN It,"
That's plain enough, should say.
Not until thousand years after the days
of Father Cyprian, and St. Augustine, did the
usurping Pope Of Rome officially adopt the
monstrous Pagan idea Of midway station
between Tartarus and the Elysian Fields.
The Pagans believed in these underground
stopping places, but never dreamed of con-
verting them into Spiritual Bank, with the
Pontifex Maximus as President, Cashier, and
Board of Directors

Our Methodist brethren--I must admit

1t is impossible for Papa to move a peg

This must be very sore point with Papa.

Why New York Children Do Not

Sandersville, Miss, March T. 1917
N EAR SIR: 1t is for information that | write
- you this letter concerning a statement made
in the last issue of The Jefersonian for FEBRUARY,
1917. Please explain why there are two hundred
and twenty-five thousand children in New York
City that don't hear the gospel preached. There
is quite space for argument as to why these
children don't hear the gospel preached.
Thanking you in advance for your kindness,
remain, A Sincere Friend,
S. B. GATLIN.
ANSWER
When you picture in your mind city con-
tanning millions of people, you see that there
are bound to be large portions of the popula-
ton, stepped in poverty, herded together in
closely-packed tenements, depending for
living upon whatever jobs they can get, or
upon charity, or upon vice, or upon crime.
It is SO in all of our big cities, and you will
see some of it in practically all the towns.

travagance that was almost incredible; and in
