My task is done; my warning has been sounded; my prayers have been offered, and now in the evening of old age, when life’s sun is slipping down behind the horizon of earthly things, I find myself surrounded with the faces of new friends, but in the dim far away I behold the countenance of my Lord beckoning me to that rest beyond the skies, where I hope to receive a full pardon from a God I so recently learned to serve.

For the sake of right, I bade farewell to the associations of my childhood, but in doing so I have been permitted to taste of realities that were bought for the human race “By the blood of the Lamb,” and I feel assured that when this earthly race is over that I will be taken home to glory, where I will be permitted to sing the songs of the new Jerusalem, and my prayer is that this little volume may march on down the ages after I am gone, to warn the generations that are yet unborn of the damnable teachings of Romanism, and be instrumental in wooing away from this human viper those who have been taught to worship at the feet of this hydra-headed monster, Roman Catholicism.

THE LIE NAILED.

Catholicism is circulating a lie that BERNARD FRESENBORG never was a Catholic Priest.  Here is a copy of a Check given Mr. Fresenborg by ARCHBISHOP J.J.  HARTY, for saying “Mass” in 1903.  J.J.  Harty is now an Archbishop in the Philippine Islands and one of Rome’s big guns.

Archbishop Harty at the time this Check was given was Priest in charge of ST. LEO’S CATHOLIC CHURCH, St. Louis, Mo.

[I will give $1,000 to any man, woman or child who will prove that this statement untrue.]

THE END.
