Part 26 (1/2)
TO JEWELERS.--A SINGLE PEARL OF GREAT PRICE! This inestimable Jewel may be obtained by application to Jesus Christ, at the extremely low price of ”all that a man hath!”
TO BROKERS.
WANTED.--Any amount of SHARES OF SECOND-COMING STOCK, bearing date A.D.
70, or thereabouts, will find a ready market and command a high premium at this office.
ATTENTION!
SOLDIERS who claim to have ”fought the fight of faith” will find it for their advantage to have their claims investigated. All who can establish said claim are ent.i.tled to a bounty land-warrant in the kingdom of Heaven, and a pension for eternity.
ROOMS TO LET in the ”Many Mansions” that Christ has prepared for those that love him.
DIRECTIONS for cultivating the fruits of the Spirit may be obtained _gratis_, at MEEK & LOWLY'S, No. 1 Grace Court.
Practical Reflections on CHRIST'S SERMON ON THE MOUNT may be had also as above.
LEGAL NOTICE.--Notice is hereby given that all claims issued by the old firm of Moses and Law were canceled 1800 years ago. Any requirement, therefore, to observe as a means of righteousness legal enactments bearing date prior to A.D. 70, is p.r.o.nounced by us, on the authority of the New Testament, a fraud and imposition.
THE EYES! THE EYES!!--It is known that many persons with two eyes habitually ”see double.” To prevent stumbling and worse liabilities in such circ.u.mstances, an ingenious contrivance has been invented by which the WHOLE BODY is filled with light. It is called the ”SINGLE EYE,” and may be obtained by applying to Jesus Christ.
WATER-CURE ESTABLISHMENT.--I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness and from all your idols, will I cleanse you. A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you a heart of flesh.--Ezekiel x.x.xvi., 25, 26.
PATENT SIEVES.--The series of sieves for CRITICISM having been thoroughly tested, are now offered to the public for general use. They are warranted to sift the tares from the wheat, and in all cases to discriminate between good and evil. A person, after having pa.s.sed through this series, comes out free from the enc.u.mbrances of egotism, pride, etc., etc. All persons are invited to test them gratuitously.
MAGNIFICENT RESTAURANT!--In Mount Zion will the Lord of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees; of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined. And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations. He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord G.o.d will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall be taken away from off all the earth: for the Lord hath spoken it.--Isaiah xxv., 6-8.
PATENT SALAMANDER SAFES.--Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal.--Matt, vi., 19, 20. This safe, having been submitted for 1800 years to the hottest fire of judgment, and having been through that time subject to constant attacks from the fiery shafts of the devil, is now offered to the public, with full confidence that it will meet with general approbation. Articles enclosed in this safe are warranted free from danger under any circ.u.mstances.
TO THE AFFLICTED!--WINE and MILK for the hungry, REST for the weary and heavy-laden, CONSOLATION and BALM for the wounded and invalids of every description--may be had _gratis,_ on application to the storehouse of the Son of G.o.d.
The _Circular_ contains each week extracts from journals kept in the two communities, and ”Talks” by Noyes and others, with a variety of other matter relating to their belief and daily lives.
II.--RELIGIOUS BELIEF AND FAITH-CURES.
They call themselves ”Perfectionists.”
