Superstition

By Editor

Superstition.—A brother in Shreveport, La., sends us a copy of the Progress, a newspaper, containing a letter under the caption, "A Letter from Jesus Christ." It commands the keeping of the Sunday from six o'clock Saturday afternoon; commands persons to cause their servants to go to church and to be baptized, and says that a copy of this letter in the house will insure against all sorts of ills. This hardly agrees with the letter which the Lord was said to have sent down in the year 1201, which commanded Sunday to be kept from three P. M. Saturday. But the whole thing to the instructed Christian is a piece of nonsense. As the brother who sends it truly says: "We have not to go to foreign countries to find superstition, but we find it right in this land of Bibles." True; it will be found in every place that man wants his own way, instead of God's way.
