be healed by a relic-a bone, which
according to tradition came from the
saints wrist.
This is st. AIMS Day, when the
healing power of the relic IS believed
to be potent to all who have faith"
There are bones of st Ann in Italy
and also there are many bones of st.
Ann in the Province of Quebec, Can
ada, where shrines are visited by the
illiterate, ignorant and superstitious
for the purpose of being healed.
AS America is founded upon prin-
ciples and not on old world supersti-
tions and traditions 1t Is the duties OF
those who know differently to inform
the ignorant and superstitlous that
there is no virtue in old bones of per
sons. neither of sheep, goats chickens
nor bullocks. 1t use to be the custom
for people to worship the sun, moon.
stars and believe in human sacrifices,
and the later the sacrifice of animal
as scape goats for the bad doing OF
the people. 1t used to be a custom to
worship the bones of ancestors and to
preserve them.
When the children of Israel got tired
of being slaves for the Egyptians and
went on a strike, they took with them
the bones of Joseph. They carried
them for forty years and finally buried
them in Shechem in Palestine.
But how different with Moses.
There hath not arisen a prophet in
Israel like unto Moses, whom the
Lord knew face to face Moses died
and was buried in the land of Moab
"but no mar knoweth of his sepul-
chre."
What was Gods plan to not let the
people know where Moses was buried -!
Evidently to hinder the people from
making his burial place a shrine for
worship and the worship of his bones
by carrying them on their journey to
the holy land.
The essential part to worship was
. the moral laws given to Moses which
were kept in the ark, or box . The
moral code, the civil code, hygiene
code, known as the Levitical laws
laws given by God and written by or
under the direction of Moses, were the
expression Of Gods mind and the
essential thing to be reVered and Wor-
shipped. The laws were the express
sion of the mind and spirit of God.
Those principles, moral, ethical, spir-
itual, were the essentials for preser-
walton and worship and not the bones
of Moses. They are in the Bible, the
book. Hebrews had their religion in
a box. People now have theirs in a
book on the parlor table and take
little interest to learn what is in the
book.
When the people first settled in
Massachusetts and New Jersey they
did not bring bones of people to WOr-
ship. They left the bones Of their an
e~estors and old world traditions be
hind. but they brought the Bible and
used the LeviJieal laws for their rulers

In order to become Americans for
eigners must be taught not to wor-
ship old world saints nor some old
bone of a sheep or goat pawned off on
the illiterate and superstitious. Men
with good judgment who stop to think
Will know that the bones of any person
and animal would crumble into dust
in a few hundred years.
these Superstitious things continue
- Sc exploited by publishers of daily
newspapers who should have brains
enough to expose frauds on the peo-
pie and teach the principles of Moses
and Jesus, the Christ, and how to live
them and not help exploit the pockets
Of the ignorant and superstitious.
America and Americanism cannot
be maintained by letting such ignor-

We are just getting into the psy-

st. John says, "The law was given
by Moses, grace and truth came by

about the old bones of saints, which

st PAU told the PHILIPPIANS, "Let

Many think a newspaper not the

There is no virtue in old bones only
