About this title

Product Description

Excerpt from Life Scenes of the Messiah

Now, why could he not as well advance the whole Roman Catholic doctrine, - winking pictures, bread actually turning to flesh, and wine actually turning to blood, and all the rest of those things disbelieved by every Protestant Christian? We submit this volume to the careful perusal of all those Protestants who are aware how particular Catholics are never to allow their people to read our books, and let us profit by their example.
