A SHORT CATECHISM.

INFIDELS hate hypocrisy, and find great fault with hypocrites in the church. Here is a short catechism for them, with answers.

“Did you ever see a counterfeit bank-note?” “Yes.” “Why was it counterfeited?” “Because the genuine note was worth counterfeiting.” “Did you ever see a scrap of brown paper counterfeited?” “No.” “Why not?” “Because it was not worth counterfeiting.” “Did you ever see a counterfeited Christian?” “Yes.” “Why was he counterfeited?” “Because he was worth counterfeiting.” “Was he to blame for the counterfeit?” “Of course not.” “Did you ever see a counterfeit infidel?” “Why, no.” “Why not?”—Selected.
