Purported Letter From Christ

whatsoever works on the Sabbath
shall be cursed. l command you TO
go to church and keep holy the
Lords Day without any manner OF
work. You shall not tide or mis-
spend your time in bedecking your
self in superfiuities of costly apparel
and vain dressing, for l have ordered
il A day of rest. l will have that day
| kept holy that your sins may be for
given YOU. You will not break any
commandments, but observe and
keep them, they being written by my
hand and spoken from mouth. You
shall not only go to church your
selves, but also your man servant,
and YOUR maid servant. Observe my
words, and learn my commandments.
You shall finish your work every Sat
urday at o'clock in the afternoon,
at which hour the preparation for
the Sabbath begins. ] advise you to
fast five Fridays in the year, begin
ming on Good Friday and continuing
the five Fridays following, in remem-
brance of the FIVE bloody wounds
received for you and mankind. You
shall love one another and cause
them that are Lot baptized to come
to church and receive the holy sac
rament, that is to say, baptism, ana
the supper of the Lord, and be made
a member thereof and in so doing L
will give you long life and many
blessings. Your land shall be re-
plenished and bring forth abundance,
and 1 will comfort you in the great
est temptation, and surely ne tnat
doeth to the contrary shall be cursed.
I will also send hardness Of heart on
them, and especially on hardened
and impenitent unbelievers. He that
hath given to the poor shall lind II
profitable. Remember to keep holy
the Sabbath day, for the seventh day
I have taken as a resting day to my
self

advertisement it must be understood
that we do not endorse the idea con-
veyed in the foregoing article, but, in
istead, deem it as absolutely contrary
in every respect to the character OF
the Savior, as shown in the New Tes-

such statement, judging from His
life, He would have so stated openly
to His Disciples, and to those with
whom He was daily associated, and
not left hidden letter, which is al
legged to have been carried around a
thousand years before being pub
