and have found the greatest cause is EATING
pork.
1--WE today are eating the same hog that
was forbidden by the Divine law of Moses
nearly six thousand years ago. 1t is the same
swine that was known as a city and country
scavenger - that ate the carcasses of Jeru-
salem.
history of the Egyptians, that if they ate of
the swine that they would be covered with
bleeding sores, sores seeping blood, raw and
angry in appearance, and the marks of the
use of the swine as food were stamped on the
face of it's victims, all down through the
centuries, filling the whole history of man
with direful story of it's deadly effects.
III every person in the United States
would quit the use Of pork for five years, it
would starve out all the doctors, and make
it slim business for the undertakers. There
would not be one crime to where we now
suffer from land filled with criminals
"A hog is an unusual animal; scarcely any
poison will kill it. The poison of rattle
snake does not hurt it. I have seen big hogs
in den of rattle snakes eating live snakes as
fast as they could smack their jaws, with
snakes biting them and they seemed not to
they would root in the ground for more, as if
they were made to destroy snakes by eating
them.
Il find that the same swine spoken of by
Moses are the same swine destroyed by the
Jews, and the same swine we eat now
Jesus cast the unclean spirit into the
swine and they ran down the steep into the
sea and met their death; because it was I'm
lawful to feed swine on the land where they
were feeding
Jesus regarded them as unclean and out
OF their place on unlawful ground, and that is
why they were destroyed. They were kept
at that time to eat dead things, and to clean
up whatever filth they had in their cities, and
because they were known by the Gentle and
Jew as unclean. 1t became law that swine
were not allowed on green pastures and in
all places as were the sheep, the OK, or the
horse and fowls.
Hog meat is poisonous to every man who
eats it. 1t kills a world of people every gen.
eratlOn. 1t is as dangerous as the venom of
a snakes tooth. 1t is no more food than dog
meat 1t is Identical with eating a common
hyena, and there is very little difference in
the two animals, save the hog has the strong
est stomach; but they are both scavengers
and both contain deadly poison that will kill
The Romans at the time of Jesus were
afraid of swine. They talked about the poi

scrofula would take hold of them. Any ami

l know why you are sick, you eat what God
told you not to eat, and it is killing us to do it.
1T makes people murder to eat pork. and
many fights start just because two men are
filled with pork chops. God does not want us
to eat pork or oysters. Oysters are the filthy
scavengers of the sea, and hogs are scaven-
gers of the earth. Neither one is fit food
because they are made to eat up the filth, and
make it healthy for the people who were I'M

have made great study of the oyster
and it is a,scavenger of the sea, picking up
the worst filth that we have on earth. We eat
the oyster as we get it and there is no way of
cleaning an oyster. So we eat them as we
get them, filled with the filth that they con-
tain such stuff as rotten decaying matter,
and whatever else is poured into the sea and
their stomach is filled with poison, and they
are created to consume poison, and we think
we should consume oysters.
ANY person who eats pork and oysters is
eating up the filth of the sea and the filth of
the earth. The hog was made to clean up the
filth of the earth and man thinks he was made
to clean up the hog.
''Jesus Christ was Jew and He conformed
to all that was required by the laws of Moses,
and it is certain that He never ate pork nor
oysters From the beginning it was unlaw-
full.
"God does not punish people, and it is not
Gods fault if you eat oysters and pork until
the whole race is extinct God told us in the
law not to eat these things, that they shall be
unclean to you. His wisdom was sufficient
for the wise. He did not create the hog for
man to eat, nor the oyster. They are scaven-
gers and they are poisonous to man.
