Can't Publish 1t

Frequently during the past fiji
teen or twenty years the Enterprise
has received a reprint purporting
to have been written by Christ. The
Enterprise has never published, and
never will, as we believe it sacri-
lege to ascribe such mediocre thing
to our Savior. This week we receiv-
ed the same article, taken from the
Fayetteville Observer, and if the
sender will furnish his name we will
return it to him.
