Introduction

Occasionally there is born to this Earth a spirit that is unique among men. Thomas Keith Marston was such a spirit. They acquire lofty goals and, regardless of the stupendous obstacles placed in their path, seem to reach more closely to them than the average man.

Keith Marston's birth was perfectly timed to coincide with the development of the airplane and from the onset it was his goal to bo the pilot of these man-made birds.

At the age of eleven he suffered the loss of his father to typhoid fever. The eldest of five children, he was left with the tremendous responsibility of a large farm from which he must eke a living for his brother, sisters, mother and himself. Filled with this burning desire to fly it seemed he would never be rid of this back-breaking responsibility. The price for flight instruction was stupendous and money was scarce in this humble household but the will was there. He raised pigs, fruit, anything he could do on the side during the few spare hours he could squeeze from the farming to save for his lessons. When the money was gone he would begin the slow saving again for more lessons until, at last, his dream was realized. Beset by setbacks and delays it took him 12 years to obtain his flight instructor's rating but never once did his determination waver.

Not only was he strengthened as a man through these experiences but he grew spiritually as well. His testimony of the truthfulness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ grew broad and invincible as his thirst for knowledge was satisfied. Never did his testimony waver although it was attacked constantly by disappointment and disaster. He was thrilled with the birth of his two daughters and one son but always desired more children, particularly sons. He mourned the loss of five baby sons and the knowledge that there could never be more children. He lost a home and every business venture resulted in the loss of his savings. His life was spent in humble living and yet his Faith in the righteous justice of God grew and welled

within him.He was called on a Stake Mission and was thrilled for the opportunity to

bear his testimony and take the Gospel to others. In the course of his labors he recognized a need for a complete reference book wherein Missionaries could find references to any subject

[page ii]

at their fingertips. After months of searching for such a book he concluded that none existed. It then became his goal to write "The Missionaries' Pal". For three years he worked night and day with very little sleep to earn a living for his family, support his son on a Foreign Mission, and search scriptures and reference material for "The Missionaries' Pal".

One can only guess the reasons that prompted his actions of the last few weeks of his life. His pace was accelerated to his physical limit in what appeared an effort to complete his book before some unknown deadline. He extracted a promise from his wife that should something happen to him she would finish "The Missionaries' Pal" and see that it was published. He set about putting his personal affairs in order.

Early morning on July 11, 1956, while en route to a crop dusting assignment, flying straight and level in a clear sky, he slumped over the controls of the plane and plunged to Earth. Two days previously he had thumbed happily through "The Missionaries' Pal" and declared to his wife and visiting friends, "I couldn't add another thing to it. It is finished!"

Keith Marston never had more than the necessities of life but he lived and died doing the things he loved most in life. To me this is real success.

FOREWORD

MY FRIENDS TO WHOM THIS BOOK SHALL COME

To L.D.S. Missionaries and L.D.S. Members:My reason for compiling this book has been to try and make it possible for

anyone to quickly and easily find any important passage of scripture under any important subject, and yet have the book small enough to be easy for the missionary to carry with him at all times.

I have long known the need for such a book and have tried to purchase one of this nature many times, but because I was unable to find one that was suitable, I at first started to compile it while on a stake mission, for my own use. Since then I have decided to have it printed so that all may have an opportunity to use it. If anyone finds that I have neglected to include some important subject or important passage of scripture, please inform me and I will try to reward you in a suitable manner.

To any seeker of truth who is not L.D.S. I extend the same invitation.The Bible has been the main source to which I have referred, but you will

notice that any subject may have other references, and for your help and guidance I will clarify some of these books I have referred to in their abbreviated form.

B. of M. means Book of MormonD. & C. means Doctrine and Covenants P. of G. P. means Pearl of Great Price.

All these books were given to the world by God through the efforts of the Prophet Joseph Smith, and were given to help the Bible to prove to us that Jesus is the Christ, our only hope of salvation.

Keith MarstonP.S. I have found it necessary to use the same passages of scripture on

several occasions, due to the allied nature of the subjects, and to make sure that these many important passages may be found when they are needed.

"If any man shall add unto these things God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life," REVELATION 22:18-19; DEUTERONOMY 4:2; 12:32; PROV'ERBS 30:5-6; MATTHEW 5:19

in a vision, and will speak to him in a dream." NUMBERS 12:6"Behold the former things have come to pass and new things do I declare."

Ananias was instructed to ordain Paul, in a vision. ACTS 9 :10-15 When the Book of Mormon came forth, this prediction was fulfilled. "And

because my words shall hiss forth many of the Gentiles shall say: A Bible! A Bible! We have got a Bible, and there cannot be any more Bible.But thus saith the Lord God: O fools, they shall have a Bible, and it shall proceed forth from the Jews, mine ancient covenant people. And what thank they the Jews for the Bible which they receive from them ? Thou fool, that shall say: A Bible; we have got a Bible, and we need no more Bible. Have ye obtained a Bible save it were by the Jews? Know ye not that there are more nations than one? Know ye not that I, the Lord your God, have created all men, and that I remember those who are upon the isles of the sea; and that I rule in the heavens above and in the earth beneath; and I bring forth my word unto the children of men, yea, even upon all the nations of the earth?"

"Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: To whom God

The following is taken from "THE EPISTLES OF ST. PAUL," with Introductions and Commentary for Priests and Students, Rev., Charles J. Callan, O.P., Professor of Sacred Scriptures, in the Cath olic Foreign Mission Seminary, Maryknoll, N. Y.� Vol. 1, New York, Jos ph F. Wagner (Inc.) London: B. Herder. Approved by Catholic Archbishop of New York, Patrick J. Hayes, D.D.The following paragraphs are a direct quotation from Mr. Callan's book wherein he gives this comment on ROMANS 6:1-6:"The Apostle here recal1s to the minds of his readers something they very well knew. Baptism in the early Church was generally administered by imme'rsion; and this form of giving the sacrament quite aptly represented the death, burial and resurrection of Christ. The complete plunge into the water, was at once an image' of Christ's death and burial, and of the Christian's death to sin; while the emer sion from the water signified the Re'Surrection of Jesus and the Christian's� birth to the new spiritual life of grace.""The Apostle is treating of a consequence and hence therefor is the proper connective here. Through baptism we are d&ad and buried to sin, as Christ died and was buried to this world. The total immer sion of the Christian in the baptismal� waters was a fitting'repre sentation of Christ's &nvelopement in the tomb. But as� Christ died and was buried, only to be raised from the dead by t!->e power of his Father; so we are immersed in the waters of baptism only to rise to the new spiritual lif& of sanctifying grace, and to continue in tpat neW life as Christ continues in his glol'ious risen life.""History furnishes ample proof that in the first century after the death of Christ, baptism was administered solely by imme'rsion. Tertullian thus refers to the immersion ceremony common in his day: 'There is no difference whether one is washed in a set or in, a pool, in a river or in a fountain, in a lake, or in a channel; nor is there any difference between those whom John dipped in Jordan, and those whom Peter dipped in the Tiber.--' We ar& immersed in the wate'r.'"Justin Martyr describes the ceremony as practiced by himself. First describing the pre'Paratory examination of the candidate, he proceeded 'After that they are led by us to where there is water, and are born again in that kind of new birth by which we ourselves we're born agahl. For in the name of God, the Father and ,Lord of all, and of Jesus Christ, our Savior, and of the Holy Spirit, the im mersion in� water is performed; because the Christ hath also said, "Ex cept a man be born� again, he cannot enter into the kingdom of heaven." ,"Bishop B&nnet says concerning the practices of the early Chris tians: 'They led� them into the water and laid them down in the water as a man is laid in a grave and then they said these words, "I bap tize! (or wash) thee in the name of the� Father, Son, and Holy Ghost" then they raised them up again, and clean garments were put on them from whence came the phrases of being baptized into Christ's death, of being burie'd with Him by baptism into death, of our being

risen with Christ, and of our putting on the Lord Jesus Christ, ofputting off the old man, and putting on the new.'"That the Apostles immersed whom they baptized there' is 00doubt And that the ancient church fol1owed their example is veryclearly evidenced by innumerable testimonies of the Fathers. VOSSIUS"Burying as it were the' person baptized in the water, and raisinghim out again, without question was anciently the more usual meth�od." ARCHBISHOP SECKER '"Immersion was the usual method in which baptism was admin�istered in the early Church. "-,, Immersion was undoubtedly a com�mon mode of administering baptism, and was not discontinued wheninfant baptism prevailed Sprinkling gradually took the place' ofimmersion without any formal renunciation of the latter." CANNONFARRARThe above information was taken from "THE GREAT APOS�TASY" by Talmage.

The following historical item may be important to you, as it has been to me. This account may be found in: "THE DIVINE CHURCH," by James L. Barker..The council of ArIes (August 1, 314 A.D.) judged that it was an opportune time to decide definitely this question. Is baptism by Heretics and unworthy Ministers valid? The answer arrived at was: Yes, any baptism is effective, even that baptism per formed by a non member of the Church is acceptable, and any member thus� baptized, who shows the proper desire, will be accepted in full membership into the Catholic Church. The council of ArIes drew up two universal canons which are the law today in all the Catholic world. Also many of the Protestants as well. The primary reason for this move was, TO OPEN THE DOOR MORE WIDELY TO SALVATION.This opening of the door more widely to salvation was the unauthor ized work of� men, who had forgotten that the gospel plait was formulated in the Heavens before the creation of the world, and is the same for all men in all ages. The Lord had said: "Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto

life; and few there be that find it." .MATTHEW 7:13-17; LUKE 13:24-29; and also:

"He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbethup some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."JOHN 10:1-15Thus we see meu attempting to enlarge the door and even to carveout a new one. For men have no authority of themselves to openthe door more widely to salvation. As an example" ,"Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the gospel of Christ,hath not God. He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hathboth the Father and the Son." 2-JOHN 9:10

THE GREAT AND ,ABOMINABLE CHURCH"And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON

THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINA�TIONS OF THE EARTH." REVELATION 17:4-7

mountains, on which the woman sitteth." REVELATION 17:9; 18":rlere is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count 'the num�ber of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number issix hundred threescore and six." REVELATION 13:18

CAUTION!! !Missionaries, be careful in your use of the information above,

[page 74]

or you may hurt some one's feelings, and may even lose an in�

terested investigator."And after they go forth by the hand of the twelve apostles of thelamb, from the Jews unto the Gentiles, thou seest the foundation of a great and abominable church which is most abominableabove all other churches; for behold, they have taken away from the gospel of the lamb many parts which are plain and most precious; and also many covenants of the Lord have they taken away. B. of M. 1-NEPHI 13 :20-29The following excerpt is taken from the pamphlet: The TruthAbout Catholics. THE BIBLE (an authority only in Catholic hands). "There is a great deal of misconception about the Bible."Some people think that, in some way or other, it came to usjust as it is, from heaven. Others think that it was written by GodHimself. Again some believe that it existed previous to the churchand that the church rests upon it as upon a foundation."The Bible means a collection of books or volumes. Far frombeing the foundation of the church, it was the church that collectedthese volumes together and gave them to us as the Bible. Why, then,you may ask, have I been quoting the Bible all along to substantiate

the divinity of Christ and the church?"In so quoting, I was using the Bible as an authentic historicaldocument, not as an inspired record. In that sense and no otherwas Scripture appealed to in our demonstration."But the Bible, as the church regards it, is more than a historical document. It is an inspired record. Once you admit it is inspired, there is no need of arguing about the divinity of Christ or the church,for that is plainly stated in the Bible, which, if it is inspired, as itsown proof. We showed from a historical and critical investigationthat the Christian foundation is true. The Catholic argument does not depend at all upon the Bible as ,an inspired book."BUT THE BIBLE DOES DEPEND UPON THE CHURCH FORITS GENUINENESS AS AN INSPIRED RECORD. Ask the average Protestant where the Bible come from. Perhaps he never thoughtof that. WELL, IT WAS THE CATHOLIC CHURCH THAT, SO TO SPEAK, MADE THE BIBLE. THAT IS SHE GATHERED TO�GETHER THE DIFFERENT PARTS, SIFTED THE GENUINE:FROM THE SPURIOUS AND THEN BY HER AUTHORITY DE CLARED WHICH WAS THE INSPIRED� SCRIPTURE."There was no Bible in Christ's time, none in the Apostles' time. It came later when the church, seeing the inspired letters of theapostles to the various churches, and the gospels written by theinspired evangelists were being tampered with, and spurious ones foisted on the people, examined all the writings claiming to be sacred, and designated those as inspired which had as authors the Apostles, Evangelists and Prophets. These she put together in one collectionand called it the Bible. That is the Bible."The infallible and authoritative Church gave it to us, the in fallible and� authoritative Church existed before the Bible, and inde�pendent of it, and after giving it to us, safeguarded it down throughthe ages.

"The Catholic church is consistent. It gave to us the inspired word of God, and it holds it as such. It realizes that on account of its sacredness and sublimity it needs official explanation when there is question as to its meaning. We do not trust the interpretation of the Constitution of the United States to an

individual, no matter how learned he may be. If a question arises to its meaning, there is but one authoritative declaration, and that is by the Supreme court. The Bible may be considered the Constitution of the world wide Catholic Church. Why should an individual take liberties with it, which he cannot take with a human document? The Church alone, the Voice of God, may in case of doubt, declare truly the meaning of the Bible. Why should not she who, in collecting the material of the Bible, discriminating between the true and the false not, also decide what is

the true or false meaning of a particular passage?"The Catholic Church has shown her love for the Bible."By CHOOSING those books which were really inspired and gath ering them into one� volume."Before the council of Carthage (397) no one knew which Books belonged in the Bible. The official list was drawn up at this couneil and no other books have ever been added to this list by any denomi nation. Therefore it is the CATHOLIC CHURCH� which has given the Bible to the world.""By PRESERVING it as it was in the beginning without adding or taking anything away from it. Before the printing press was invented in 1438, her monks copied the Bible over and over again. For 1534 years there was no other Bible but the Catholic Bible."The foregoing is a direct quotation from the pamphlet: "THE TRUTH ABOUT CATHOLICS.'" A Catholic publication.

MAN..MADE CHURCHES EVILTHE MOST PROMINENT CHRISTIAN CHURCHES"St Ignatius of Antioch, writing to the Christians of Smyrna about the year 110, is the first to use the name "THE CATHOLICCHURCH." He writes: "Where the bishop is, there let the multi�tude of believers be; wheresoever Jesus Christ is, there is theCatholic Church." The Martyrdom of St. Polycarp (155) men�tions "The Catholic Church" in three passages (v11l., 1; XVl., 2;XLX., 2). At the beginning of the third century, as Father D'Herbigny says, "The dogmatic sense of the word 'Catholic' isevident; the true Church is the Church that is called Catholic."He cites Clement of Alexandria, the Muratorian Fragment and Tertullian. In this last passage Tertullion speaks of the "Cath olica" when he means the Church. St.� Augustine uses the sameword as a synonym of the Church 240 times.This information was taken from: THE MINIATURE QUES TION BOX. By Rev. Bertrand L.� Conway. C.S.P. Put out by theP AULIST PRESS.CATHOLICS ADMIT THAT THE CHURCH MUST NEVERCHANGE "For the Church must endure to the end, the very sameorganization which Christ established. But in an organized society it is precisely the constitution which is the essentialfeature. A change in constitution transforms it into a societyof a different kind. If then the Church should adopt a consti�tution other than Christ had it, it would no longer be his handi�work. It would no longer be the Divine Kingdom established byHim."

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA. VOLUME XII, page 262 INFALLIBILITY OF THE CATHOLIC CHURCH"The Church is not susceptable of being reformed in her doctrines. The Church is the work of an incarnate God. Like all God'sworks, it is perfect. It is, therefore, incapable of reform. . .""If only one instance could be given in which the Church ceased toteach a doctrine of faith which had BEEN PREVIOUSLY HELD,that single instance would be the death blow of her claim to in.. fallibility. . ." and also to her claim of being the true church!"

Thus very likely fulfilling the prophecy found in 2-PETER 2:1-3.3-Changed the name of their church to "Catholic" as I have related

before in this discourse.JESUS CHRIST has said: "And how be it my church save it be called in my name? For if a church be called in Moses name tlien it be Moses church; or if it be called in the name of a man then it be the church of a man; but if it be called in'my name then it is my church, if it so be that they are built upon my gospeL" B. of M. 3-NEPHI 27:1-8; ACTS 4:10-12,; EPHESIANS 1:22-23; 5:23-24; COLOSSIANS 1:18; 1-CORINTHIANS 12:12-27; JOHN 10:1-15; ROMANS 1:16-20; ISAIAH 43:6-7; D. & C. 115:4-54-At the council of ArIes held August 1, 314, they adopted the policy that: Any baptism is effective, even that baptism performed by a non-member of the church is acceptable, and any member thus baptized, who shows the proper desire, will be accepted in full membership into the Catholic Church. The primary reason for this was: TO OPEN THE DOOR MORE WIDELY TO SALVA TION. Men, do not have the power in� themselves to open the door more widely. Christ established the door and gave men the keys to enter in at that door. (JOHN 10:1-15; MATTHEW 16:19.) But He warned against anyone attempting to change His gospel or to attempt to enter in some other way. But we still see men at tempting to change this accepted way in spite� of these warnings.

D. "What was declared to be the orthodox doctrine of the universal or Catholic Church respecting the Godhead was promulgated as follows:" ""We believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, the maker of all things visible and invisible; and in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, begotten of the Father, only begotten (that is), of the substance of the Father; God of God, Light of Light; Very God" of Very God; begotten not made; of the same substance with the Father, by whom a1l things were made, that are in heaven and that are in earth: who for us men, and for our sal vation, descended and was incarnate, and became� man; suffered and rose again the third day, ascended into the heavens and wi1l come to judge the living and the dead; and in the Holy Spirit. But those who say there was time when He (the Son) was not, and that He was not before He was begotten, and that He was made out of nothing, or affirm that He is of any other substance or essence, or that the Son of God was created, and mutable or changeable, the Catholic Church doth pronounce accursed. This is the generally

THE CATHOLIC PRIEST (The Power of Consecration)"The third great P'Ower 'Of the priestly 'Office,,:is the climax of all. It is the P'Ower 'Of consecrating. 'N'O act is greater' says St. Thomas, than. the c'Onsecrati'On 'Of the b'Ody 'Of Christ. In this es sential phase of the sacred� ministry, the P'Ower 'Of "the priest is not surpassed by.,that ,,'Of the bish'Op, the archbish'OP, the Cardinal 'Or the P'Ope. Indeed it is equal to that 'Of Jesus Christ, f'Or in this r'Ole the priest speaks with the v'Oice and auth'Ority 'Of G'Od himself."When the priest pronounces the tremendous word's of the

[page 98]

consecration he reaches 'up into the heavens, brings Christ down from His throne, and places Him upon our altar to be offered upagain as the victim for the sins of men. It is a power greater than that of monarches and emperors and angels, greater THAN THAT OF SERAPHIM AND CHERUBIM. Indeed it is greater even than the power of the Virgin Mary. FOR WHILE the blessed virgin was the human agency by which Christ became incarnate a single time, the

priest brings Christ down from heaven, and renders Him present on our altar as the eternal Victim for the sins of men not once, but a thousand times. The priest speaks and lo! Christ the eternal and omnipotent God, bows His head in humble obedience to the Priest's command." FAITH OF MILLIONS-Page 270; also found in pamphlet, PRIESTHOOD. Such a thing as this was proph esied in: 2-THESSALONIANS� 2:3-4. ONE COMPLETE SACRIFICE W AS ALL THA'r WAS REQUIRED. "Who needeth not daiiy, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice, first for His own sins, and then for the people's: for this He did once when He offered up Himself."

. HEBREWS 7:24-28; 1(}:12-18WHAT OF ST. JOHN? "Observe these details: It is claimed that St. Peter suffered martyrdom at Rom';; in 67 A.D.; St. Linus is said to have succeeded him the same year; Cletus succeeded St. Linus 78 A.D.; and St. Clement became bishop of Rome in 90 A.D."Observe now: St. John, the apostle 'whom Jesus loved,' and who evidently participated in such primacy as St. Peter may have held, as implied by his association in the special ways and privileges with Peter and James, during the lifetime of the Lord; and who because of his fiery zeal in his youth in preaching the message of Christ, was called by the Master a 'Son of Thunder', this man is said to have DIED at Ephesus in 96 A.D. (Catholic authority) six years after the appointment of the last of these several alleged bishops of Rome. So that he lived 19 years after the martyrdom of St. ',Peter, and six years after the alleged appointment of Clement. Where does he stand in the church of God during all that time ac cording to the Roman Catholic theory? Oh, he is under the jurisdic tion,� � and in subordination to bishops St. Linus, St. Cletus, and St. Clement of Rome. With whom he must be in union, and in subjec tion to, in order to be in the fold� of Christ! (For the need of all church authorities-all officers and lay members being in subjection to the bishop of Rome see Catholic Belief, Bruno, ch. xvii). All this must be held to have been the situation if these bishops of Rome succ,eeded to, and held all the primacy and authority of St. Peter. The relationship of St. John to these Roman bishops must have been the same as it would have been to St. Peter, had St. Peter continued,'to live: for, according to the Roman Catholic theory, each of these bishops was the supreme head of the church, possessing all the pri" macy St. Peter held over his fellow apostles, and all that is conceiv able to attach to the apostleship of St. Peter. I will not say tha.t such a conclusion is ridiculous, I will say that such a conclusion: is unthinkable, and impossible. It was a situation that was never o tained."But I have something more to present; and something even

98

more conclusive. Surely with St. John living, and though perhaps the last of the apostles, it may not be denied that his time-near the close of the first century-was still within the period of revelation from God. This even according to the beliefs of the Roman Cath olic, the Greek, and the Protestant churches. And now,� in view of the fact that we are within the period of revelation, if revelation is to be given to the church, or to any of its branches, through whom will the revelation come? Unquestionably the revelations will come through the head of the church, who at the time, according to Roman Catholic claims, was Linus, or Cletus, or Clement, bishops ,of Rome, supreme heads of the church universal! But did it? Ah no; the revelation came through the apostle who was associated evidently in the primacy of the triumvirate of the apostles, St. Peter, St. James, and St. John. It came through the apostle 'whom Jesus loved,' the 'Son of Thunder.' It came to him upon the lonely Rock of Patmos when there a prisoner of a Roman emperor, 'for the word of God and the testimony of Jesus.' And the revelation which came is one of the noblest of the whole scripture. Listen to the beautiful prologue of that revelation:"'The Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto Him, to shew unto His

servants things which must shortly come to pass; and He sent and signified it by His angel unto His servant John: Who bear record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw. Blessed is he that readeth and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein for the time is at hand.' (REVELATIONS 1:1-3)"Then this is followed by the message to the seven churches of Asia through their 'angels,' that is, through their presiding officers; in some cases, doubtless, their bishops; who were reproved, instructed and encouraged; not by his grace Linus, or Cletus, or Clement, but by God's apostle, St. John, as should be the case, and not by the bishop of another city, only equal in authority and jurisdiction to themselves."If it should be claimed that the revelation of St. John is lim ited to the seven� churches of Asia, so far as special messages to churches are concerned, be it conceded; but the major part of John's Revelation is not so limited, but is universal in its character; which God gave 'to show unto His servants things which must shortly come to pass'; and 'blessed is ,he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy,' meaning all those that read and hear and keep the words of 'this prophecy' then on earth, and all who will subsequently live upon it."If there can be any doubt, however, in the minds of any that this Revelation from God through Jesus Christ to St. John was not of universal import and authority, then let me remind such that after St. John's release from Patmos and his return to Ephesus, he is to Ilive other evidences as being under the glow of the spirit of revela tion from God, for it was then that he wrote the most highly spiritual� nnd glorious Gospel of all the four that have come down to us 'the Gospel of St.� John. That Gospel was written that 'ye might be�

lieve that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and thatoolieving ye might hiwe life. through His name.'" (ST. JOHN xx:31)."THE FALLING A WAY By B. H.

Judas ,committed suicide. MATTHEW 27:3-5Phillip was scourged, thrown into prison, and afterwards, crucified at

Heliopolis in Phrygia, A.D. 54.Mathias (elected to take Judas' place) was stoned at Jerusalem, then

beheaded.Andrew (brother of Peter) was crucified at Edessa.Mark was dragged to ,pieces in the streets of Alexandria.Peter is supposed to have been crucified upside down at Rome.Paul was beheaded at Rome by order of Nero.Thaddeus (the brother of Jesus) was crucified at Edessa, A.D. 72.Matthew was cruelly beaten and then' crucified by the impatient idola�

tors of India.Matthew was slain with a Halberd (battle axe) at Nedebah Ethiopia,

A.D. 60.James the Less was beat and stoned by the Jews and had his brains

dashed out with a fullers club.Thomas (called Didymus) preached the gospel in Parthia and Indiawhere, exciting the rage of the Pagan priests, he was thrust'through with a spear.

Luke is supposed to have been hanged on an olive tree by the idola�trous priests of Greece. Simon ZeJotes was crucified in Britain, A.D. 74.Barnabas was of Cyprus but of Jewish descent. His death is supposed

to have taken place about A.D. 73. (No details.)John (was brother to James the Great) was cast into a cauldron of boiling oil at Rome. He es.caped by a miracle and was banishedto the Isle ,of Patmos. (He was the only apostle who escaped a violent death.)

,The above information was taken from Fox's "Book of the Martyrs". Justin Martyr in his Dialogue with Trypho the Jew asserts that Jewish,authorities sent:Chosen men from Jerusalem into every land, declaring that a godless sect of Christians had appeared. And uttering everything tha,tthose who are ignorant of us say unanimously against us. So that you are the cause not only of your own unrighteousness, but alsothat of all other men.

JUSTIN, DIALOGUE WITH TRYPHO XVIITertullian, in a more vigorous manner, asserts the same charge. YoUj

have sent chosen and appointed men into all the world to proclaimlthat; "A godless and lawless sect has arisen from a certain Jesus,

a Galilean imposter, whom we crucified; his disciples, however,stole him'by night from the tomb. . . and now deceive people byasserting that he rose from the dead and ascended into heaven."You accuse him of having taught the godless, lawless, and unhofY'doctrines which you bring forward against those who acknowl edged him to be� Christ, a teacher from God, and the Son of God." TERTULLIAN, APOLOGY 1:10Eusebius made a similar charge. In the writings of the ancients }'Ve.

up and dispatched written instructions for the Jews throughout

every country, slandering tlie doctrine of Chtist as a new-fangledheresY'. which was alien to God, conveying formal letters. . . swarmed everywhere on earth, culminating the gospel of our Savior. EUSEBIUS, ON ISAIAH XVIII, IF.The first case of Gentile persecution in ACTS is the stoning of Paul
