P_ BILLUPS, G. P. A. 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. ’ ’ MT. CARMEL. Rev. V. A, Roark filled his appoint ment, hero* Sunday.
