Voodoo Priest of Haiti
By Albert F. Prieger
This is a picture of a genuine voodoo priest, of which there are many in the West Indies. And though they are called the “fathers of the law,” we may well add “of sin and death;” for they neither believe nor keep any of the ten commandments of the law of God. Feeling their wretched condition, they try to make peace by offerings and sacrifices until they generally end up in some miserable way. It is wonderful to see the remarkable change the gospel is making upon people who formerly followed these misguided men. Many have been converted from voodooism to the gospel of peace, freed from the law of sin and death through faith in Christ Jesus, who is the only offering that takes away the sins of the world.
