Atlanta .Han Claims to Have a Lot-, tor Written by Christ. (The following is published at the request of an aged lady lu tho upper part of Oeonee, who, having carried tin; clipping constantly for a number of years-ever Blnce it was pub lished in The Courier several years ago- has found it io be a great source of comfort to lier. We re publish tho article with tho com ments made on same at the time lt was first published. Tim lady re ferred to ls now in her 84th year:) (Edw, Y. Clark, In Atlanta Journal.) (The following clipping was sent to Tile Courier by a Georgia reader for publication. As to the claim of Christ as the author, we, of course, simply lay lt aside as so much "stuff." If the possessor of the lotter believes it, what matter? "As he believes, so be lt." In it there is much of what might technically be termed "rot." Take it for what it. is worth, which ls not a great deal.) There ls In tho possession of an Atlanta man, a W. H. Pasco, who liveB at 62 McDaniel street, and who works for the Southern Saw Works, a letter which he believes was writ ten by the Christ. So firmly does he believe this that he is trying to obey its mandates, and wherever he goes has it published, for fear If he does not the curse pronounced In it for failure thus to do will fall on his head. The letter, which ls said to have been written more than two thou sand years ago, fell Into the hands of a family living in Virginia, who have kept it in their possession from the time they got lt until 1879, ttl having been handed down from fa ther to eon and so on. At that time a copy of it was given to Mrs. M. F. Towson, a near neighbor, and she gave a copy to Rev. P. C. Fletcher, of Rome, Ga. A copy of the letter also got into the hands of Mrs. W. W. Qlllam, who, up to the time of her death lived near Cowpens, S. C. W. H. Pasco fell into possession of a copy of the letter while on a trip recently to Spartanburg, S. C., and prizes the same very highly. He says that all those who have a copy of the letter prize it very highly and believe the letter to have been writ ten by Christ Himself, never for a moment doubting its genuineness. The preface to the letter is ns fol lows: "This letter was written by Jesus Christ, and found under a great stone, round and long, at the foot of the cross, 18 miles from Iconiura, near the village called 'Messopotamia. Upon that stone was written and en graved: 'Blessed is he that shall turn me over.' All the people that saw it prayed God earnestly and de sired that He would make known to them the meaning of this writing, that they might not attempt In vain to turn it over. In the meantime there came a little child about six years old, and turned lt over with out help, to the admiration of all the people that stood hy, and under this stone was Cubasses' family and in this letter was written tho Com mandments of Jesus Christ, signed by the Angel Gabriel ninety-nine years after jur Saviour's birth." Tho Wonderful Letter. The letter itself reads as follows: "Whosoever works on the Sabbath day shall bo cursed. I command you to go to church and keep the Lord's day holy without any manner of work. You shall not idle nor mis spend your time In bedecking your selves In superfluities of coBtly ap parel and vain dressing, for I have ordered lt a day of rest. I will have the day kept holy that your sins may be forgiven you. You shall not only go to church yourselves, but also your servant and maid servant. Ob serve my words and learn my com mandments. You shall finish your labor every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, at which hour tho preparation of tho Sabbath begins. I advise you to fast five Fridays in the year, beginning at Good Friday, and continuing tho Ave Fridays fol lowing, in remembrance of the five bloody wounds I received for you and all mankind. You shall dili gently and peaceably labor in your scvoral vocations when it hath pleas ed God to call you. You shall love one another and cause them that are not baptized to como to church and receive that holy sacrament, that is to say baptism and the Bupper of tho I .ord, and bo made a member thereof, and in so doing, I will give you long lifo nnd many blessings, your land shall replenish and bring forth abundance, and I will comfort you in the greatest temptations, and surely ho that doeth to tho contrary shall bo cursed.
