Abraham, to follow out the pagan
custom. took his only son Isaac TO
mountain to offer him as SacfiIlte'
Jehovah told Abraham he was to De
the father of a great race, the 1oun-
der of a great religion, so ne showed
Abraham a ram to saerltlce instead oI
his only son Isaac. Hence JehoVah'
the Supreme Spirit creator OF the
universe. the Father Of Life, truth
Love, led Abraham to be the teaeher
that the sacrifice of ram, bullock,
dove or chicken was sufficient to take
the place of the first born.
Abraham greatest descendant was
Jesus of Nazareth who died on the
cross, as a sacrifice once and for all.
i Since his death as a blood redeemer
there is no need of a blood sacrifice.
To the Jew he became the Lamb OF
God. To the Gentle he became the
end of human sacrifice, that taketh
away the sins of those who believe on
him.
What Is Transubstantiation?
Yet there are thousands Of edu
Gated, intelligent men and millions Of
people who hold the superstitions, be
lieve that Jesus of Nazareth should
be sacrificed in a wafer consisting Of
flour and water, which can be
changed into the actual flesh and
blood of Jesus, the Christ, and that
good old fashioned Intoxicating wine
can be changed into his blood and both
become actual god. That is called
Reconsideration Then those who
believe it eat and drink their god to
become god-like.
Of course, we have read about the
cannibals eating the missionary and
/ becoming good and others drinking
plenty of wine as a method of wor-
shipping, Bacchus, the pagan god of
wine to whom temples use to be
built.
A little settlement called Arden,
near Wilmington, Del, held cere-
mony to Bacchus three weeks ago.
The Chinese located the intelligence
in the stomach. Among the Jews the
heart was used for intelligence. In
English the intelligence is located in
the head and the mind is the soul of
man.
The most advanced psychologist in
religion today believe that sacrifice
ended with the crucifXion; that the
stomach religion Of eating a god in a
wafer is a continuance of pagan su-
perstition which originated with the
ancient Chaldeans and Persians; that
the teachings of Jesus, the jew is the
highest standard of righteousness.
St. Paul, the founder Of the Chris
tian Church, told the Romans eth
Chapter) that God made Abraham the
father Of many nations. For not thru
the law was the promise of Abraham
or his seed, but thru the righteous
ness of faith in Jehovah, we become
the children of God and thus establish
the law.
st. Paul told the Philippian to
"Have this mind in you which was in
Jesus Christ, who existing in the form
of God counted not the being on an
equality with God, Jehovah, counted
not the being on an equality with God
o thing to be grasped.'
In this ending we are far from
Abraham the beginning of our faith,
the founders of our Christian faith,
thru his greatest descendant, Jesus
of Nazareth, called the Christ, because
he was the Spirit Jehovah in man and
established as an example the highest
moral and ethical standard Of righte-
BUSINESS.
Solomon said: "As a man thinketh
in his heart [mindl so is he"
Some believe that religion should be
taught in the schools. Why not give
the public information thru the news
papers and get common understand
ing.
