The Last Words of Our Saviour
By Editor
"The Last Words of Our Saviour."—For the fourth time, if we rightly remember, we have been sent a piece titled as above. It purports to be a letter written by our Lord, signed by the angel Gabriel ninety-nine years after the birth of Jesus, and deposited by Gabriel under a stone at the foot of the cross. Precepts concerning the Sabbath are given, curses against the disobedient, righteousness by works. Five days' fast in the year is enjoined, in remembrance of the five wounds received by Jesus. A copy of this "letter" in the house wards off pestilence, thunder, and lightning. It is a conglomerate mixture of truth and superstition, and our readers may be assured that it did not originate with our Saviour nor with the angel Gabriel. It is in every way unlike the Master.
