Purported to Have Been Written by the
Savior and Found at the Foot of
the Cross—Its History.
The Greenllnlil (Teim.) Times Us pub
lished what is purported to be u letter
from Christ written just after His eni-
eillxion on the cross. Tho letter was
published nt the request of Miss Ruby
Crutchfield, Trezevnat, Touu,, who said
that she had luid tho letter three years,
ami that bail luck had continually i'ol-
Icweil her until she doeidod to obey its
injunction and have it published. Tho
letter says: "And ho that hath a eopy
of this letter without publishing it to
others shall not prosper. Hut ho that
publishcth it to others shnlt be blessed
by Me, and if their sins shall be ns many
ns the stars of the night, und if they
truly believe, they shall bo parddned. ’ 1
History of the Letter.
Mrs. Fannie Wortman, of Marion, Inch,
knows something of the history of the
letter. It. was when bIio lmd the let
ter published that Mrs. Crutchfield is
supposed to have gotten possession of it.
The following is taken from a Marion
paper: "Mrs. Wortman says sho lived
in Dallns, Ga., until laBt August, when
sho came to this city. Sho said the let
ter givon below wob first found undor a
stone at the foot of the cross on which
Christ was crucified and that on tile stone
wns written, ‘Blessed is lie who shall
turn me over.’ No one know what this
inscription meant until a child, turned
tlie stone over and discovered the letter
written by Christ Himself. The letter
came into the hands of a man who had
been converted and who kept it us a sa
cred instrument of the Savior. He, how
ever, refused to have it published, ac
cording to tho orders of Christ, and as a
consequence he never prospered.- He kept
the fact that he possessed tho letter a
secrot, and on his death gave it to his
oldest son. Thus tho letter wns kept in
the family for over a thousand yenrs and
was brought to this country by early set
tlers. ’ ’
It wns kept ii secret by the family
while they lived in Virginia, but they
never prospered, and ill-luck continually
followed them, as it did their ancestors.
On tho death of the only daughter, the
letter wns turned over to a lady by the
name of Mrs. Townsend, who, not wishing
to disobey the orders of Christ, at once
hail it published in The Tribune, of
Rome, Ga., Oct. 31, 1891. The Citizen,
of Dalton, Ga., copied the article niul
Mrs. W'oi'tmaii, of Marion, Ind., clipped
that she never gave it out for publicn-
son for a number of years. She lias
never lied it published, and states that
she lias had bad luck since she has been
keeping the article and believes t-lmt her
misfortunes have nil come from the fact
that she never gave it out for publica
tion. In the letter was written tho Com
mandments of Christ and signed by tho
Angel Gabriel ninety-nine years after the
Savior’s birth.
The Letter.
Whosoever works on the Sabbath day
shall be cursed. I command' you to go
to. church and keep holy the Lord’s day
without any manner of work. You shall
not idle or misspend your time in be
decking yourselves in superfluities of cost
ly ' apparel and vain dressing. For I
have ordered it a day of rest, I will
.have that day kept holy. That your sins
may be forgiven, you will not break my
commandments. But observe ami keep
them, they being written by my hand and
spoken from my mouth. You shall not
only go to church yourselves, but also
your mail servant and your maid servant.
Observe my words and. learn my com
mandments. You shall finish your work
every Saturday at six o’clock in the af
ternoon, at which hour the preparation
for the Sabbath begins. I advise you'to
.ast five days in the year, beginning on
rood Friday and continuning tho four
days following in remembrance of the
five bloody wounds I recoived for you
anil mankind. You shall love one nnoth-
er and cause them that.are not baptized
to come to church and receive the Holy
Sacrament, that is to say, baptism, and
the supper of the Lord, and be made a
member thereof. And in so doing I will
give you long life and many blessings.
Your land shall be replenished and bring
forth abundantly and I will comfort you
in the grentest temptation. And surely
lie that doetli the contrary slml be
cursed. I will send hardness of heart on
then), and especially on hardened and im
patient unbelievers. Ho that hath given
to the poor shall find it profitable. Re
member to keep holy the Sabbath day I
have taken as a resting day to myself.
The Injunction.
"And lie that hath a copy of tliiB let
ter written by my baud and spoken by
my mouth and keepeth it without pub
lishing it to others shall not prosper.
But he that publishcth it to others shall
•be blessed of me. And if their sons be as
many as the stars of the night, and if
they truly believe, they shall be pardoned.
And they tliat believe not this writing anil
my commandments will have my plagues
upon you and become concerned with
your children, goods, cattle, and all other
enjoyments that I have, given you. Do
but only think of what I have suffered
for your sake. If you do it, well for you
in this world and the world which is to
come. Whomsoever shall have a copy
of this letter and keep it in their house
nothing shall hurt them, neither pesti
lence, lightning nor thunder. And if any
woman be in birth and put her trust in
Me she shall be delivered of her child.
You shall hear no tnore news of mo ex
cept through the Holy Scriptures until
the day of judgment. All goodness anil
prosperity shall be in the house where a
copy of this letter shall be found. Fin-
issued. ’ ’
