1108 -The 2018 Bah, Humbug Awards from Lincoln County Watch
By Anna Von Reitz
The 2018 Bah, Humbug Awards
We reported the fact that during the
Obummer Administration printing presses, currency paper and engraving
plates were exported to various locations in foreign countries and
billions of dollars worth of Territorial "US Dollars" were run off which
are indistinguishable from any other such "dollar". It finally stopped
once Donald Trump got in office---required air strikes to put an end to
it--- and is the single largest example of state-sponsored
counterfeiting in world history. Prior to that, international bank
officials had to step in and mandate the issuance of new "US" hundred
dollar bills in an effort to distinguish between official versions and
counterfeits.
To the uninitiated, this looks like
it accrues against the credit of America and Americans, but as we have
also fully disclosed, the Territorial "United States" is a separate and
foreign entity with respect to us. The Territorial "US Dollar" has
nothing to do with our actual currency, the silver "United States
dollar".
The Territorial United States is the
responsibility of Britain and the UK, not The United States of
America---- and all this graft and fraud and abuse of the financial
system and deliberate deceits confusing "Federal Reserve Notes" with "US
Dollars" and "US Dollars" with "United States dollars" must be placed
on Britain's doorstep and on the doorstep of the Lord Mayor of the Inner
City of London. It was done via the misuse and abuse of our delegated
powers, but that is where our culpability ends.
The situation is analogous to having
a servant or subcontractor gone wild, someone under contract and
enjoying a position of trust totally losing their minds and abusing
their employers and their employer's assets. The employer -- the
American States and People -- are the primary victims and creditors, not
the cause of the problem.
This is only a "tip of the iceberg"
of the financial crimes perpetuated by the criminals running the
Territorial United States and only a more recent example of it.
Just this week, it came to light
that the judges installed to ride herd on the Security and Exchange
Commission were chosen by and illegally installed by the Securities and
Exchange Commission itself. The SEC was enabled to hire and fire its
own judges thereby removing any vestige of oversight or control over
their activities. Donald Trump once again took action to clean the
Mess up.
Most Americans are now aware of the
fraud and evils perpetuated by the so-called "Federal Reserve" which is
nothing but a private banker's club that obtained a contract to act "as"
a central bank for the Territorial United States and then proceeded to
plunder and pilfer the actual American dollar via an unlawful and
non-consensual exchange rate of one silver United States dollar for one
"Federal Reserve" Promissory Note --- aka, Federal Reserve Note.
As we all know or should know by
now, the Federal Reserve banks thus devalued the actual American
currency in "exchange" for their own I.O.U.s, and when the time came to
pay back, they bankrupted their "Federal Reserve System", upped the
anchor, and went sailing off into the sunset.
Then the SEC and the Wall Street Mob
engineered the Big Short in 2008. They offered up the worst of the
perpetrators, Lehman Brother's, as a token sacrifice and left the
clueless American people to pay the rest of the price.
This is all just part and parcel of
Territorial United States business as usual-- and I am reciting it for
you and the rest of the world, so you can see how much America and
Americans have suffered and how stupid --- but honest --- we have been,
and how mercilessly Britain abused its position of trust and our own
delegated powers.
Let's give another example of it.
Back during the Second World War,
the Allies wanted to "encourage" the non-aligned nations like Indonesia
and Libya to side with them, so the CIA arranged the issuance of
billions of dollars-worth of "Certificates of Obligation"--- which are
bonds--- made out to well-known dictators from around the world: Fidel
Castro, Daniel Noriega, et alia. These bonds all wound up in the
possession of the Indonesian government as a bribe. There was no
obligation.
Indonesia basically said, "Gee,
thanks a lot for the gift, but we are not interested in breaking our
neutrality or helping you guys out."
Fifty years later, those
"Certificates of Obligation" are still in the possession of Indonesia,
so Indonesia decides to cash them in. They begin quiet efforts to
negotiate these "debt instruments" and initially everything goes well,
the banks are all nodding and rubber stamping, the Congress is agreeing
to honor the fake debt--- and then, all of a sudden, everything
stopped.
We are left with the picture of
Indonesia accepting a bribe and trying to negotiate known phony "debt"
notes, the CIA as usual, with egg on its face and crime as its
stock-in-trade, and Congress "embarrassed". The bribe was supposed to
be in exchange for Indonesia joining the Allies. They didn't join so,
all bets are off. There is just one problem.
The Certificates of Obligation were
issued by the Territorial United States Government and are as valid on
their face as any other such financial instrument issued by the same
source.
The resulting stand off has become known as "Treasurygate".
We could, in our dreams, imagine
that this was the only such preposterous flop engineered by the CIA
meddling in politics and using criminal means to achieve its ends, but
we would be very much disappointed. It seems that the only way to stop
the endless stream of such idiocy is to disband the CIA and defund it
entirely, but that is not our call or our business so long as we are not
held responsible for it.
And we do not propose to stand
silently by and allow Indonesia or any other injured party to blame us
or seize our assets in payment for debts owed by the Territorial United
States and the UK.
The entire Birth Certificate scheme
is similar. Prince Philip proposed to rent out the value of our lives
and labor and to receive back the "Life Force Value Annuities" for his
own profit, so he did, via a complex international bankruptcy fraud
scheme in which the money owed for this "rent" was left "unclaimed"---
purportedly--- by the actual heirs as part of the bankruptcy spoils from
the bankruptcy of CANADA.
There's just one problem. Plenty of
actual heirs exist and we placed a UCC claim and lien on all our
assets. So the estate was improperly probated and the bankruptcy
proceedings were a fraud. And to date, Phil the Pill got away with $950
trillion dollars-worth of credit owed primarily to us and the
Canadians. So much for the Royal Family of Criminals and Slave Masters
of the "Free World".
The Living Law Firm has tracked the
life cycle of the Birth Certificate Fraud from beginning to end. The
Territorial State of State conscripted the doctors as Uniformed Officers
under Title 37, forcing them to register all births taking place in the
"United States" --- they just neglected to say which "United States".
It could only be Territorial United States, but nobody made that clear,
so they just "came ashore" and press ganged all American babies into
their scheme.
Once our Given Trade Names were
seized upon, the vermin set up Public "Charitable" Trusts operated by
the US Attorney General's Office in each Territorial State of State and
County of County in America---- and issued Public Bonds in our NAMES.
The bonds were deposited by the
DEPARTMENT OF COMMERCE with the Depository Trust Corporation, which
became the actual Issuer and Holder of these bonds. The money raised
was laundered by the Bank of New York Mellon and passed on to the
Vatican Bank which took its cut and passed it back to the Bank of Canada
which took the Queen's cut and then returned the leftovers back to the
STATE OF STATE Governors.
The Birth Certificates themselves
were removed "off shore" to Puerto Rico, where the Internal Revenue
Service had its main offices, and all these new Territorial Taxpayers
were subjected to the Municipal law of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico,
one of the Territorial United States.
During Jimmy Carter's
Administration, the Birth Certificates of millions of clueless
shanghaied Americans were transferred to the IMF as sureties for the
debts of the -- you guess it -- Territorial United States Government.
All of this was down knowingly and willingly in fraud and in Gross Breach of Trust and violation of Commercial Contract.
Just yesterday I was reading an
article by a man named Ron Giles called "Africa Unveiled" in which he
claimed that because a group of mostly African nations sued the "USA,
Inc." that all our land and labor and everything else was forfeit in
perpetuity under international commercial law.
That would be true, except for the following facts.
It is a Maxim of the Law Merchant
that "possession by pirates does not change ownership" and our assets
have unknowingly been in the possession of British-backed privateers and
pirates since 1860, long before any "USA, Inc." came into existence.
The assets therefore are ours and remain ours and any commercial claim
otherwise is false.
Second, though this concept is just
now beginning to dawn on people, any corporation merely calling itself
"USA, Inc." is not the "same as" America. It's just a corporation--- in
this case, a foreign corporation -- that has infringed on our copyright
so as to confuse people into thinking that it has something to do with
us and our assets --- when it doesn't.
Third, the British Territorial
United States which has done all these evil fraudulent things is not
"the same as" America, and strictly speaking, it is not our problem.
It's the world's problem. The blame for its gross criminal
mis-administration does not lie with the Americans. It lies with the
Queen and the UK which has profited itself via the abuse of our
Delegated Powers and various means of fraud, piracy, racketeering, and
enslavement employed by the British Government to rob, impersonate, and
misrepresent us.
Fourth, we are the actual Priority
Creditors of these Euro-Trash vermin, and our claims against them
pre-date anything anyone else can offer. First come, first served.
Greatest amount of loss takes precedence over least.
Bottom line --- if you want your
money back, don't look at us. And don't bring false claims against our
assets. We are their primary and priority Creditors. Anyone else on
Earth that has a claim needs to take a back seat.
Some of you may have noticed the
abrupt retirement of Secretary of the Territorial United States
Treasury, Rosa Gumataotao Rios. And you may recall a speech that
Obummer gave before the American Bar Association in which he announced
--- if you knew what you were listening for -- that all the "American"
franchises had been unlawfully converted to "Public Transmitting
Utilities".
What this means is that you stopped
receiving bills addressed to "JOHN MICHAEL DOE" and started getting
bills addressed to "JOHN M. DOE" and the private corporate municipal
courts stopped "interpreting" the "DEFENDANTS" as Cestui Que Vie ESTATE
trusts, and started interpreting them as bankrupt Puerto Rican Public
Transmitting Utility franchises --- and it is all fraud.
They moved "us" --- that is, the
falsified records of the bogus Public Transmitting Utilities created "in
our names" from Puerto Rico to the Marianas Islands, where they set up
shop again and proposed to continue on with Business as usual. And the
Pope and the Queen sat on their velvet tuffets, in complete and utter
violation of their obligations, and allowed this.
What they've done with the "Marianas
Operation" is nothing more or less than a vast and sophisticated
identity-theft credit card scheme. The heart of the fraud is concealed
as the NationStates Bank agreement secretively embedded in the heart of
every mortgage ever processed through any iteration of the MERS
--Mortgage Electronic Registration System -- which is itself illegal,
non-consensual, and as a matter of fact, has been defunct since the
1990s, but continuing to operate as spin-off look-alike sound-alike
organizations.
Essentially, what they do, is run a
bank out of the Marianas Islands based on your credit, take out credit
cards in your name, and charge the entire amount of "YOUR" mortgage off,
and then they just keep on charging, charging, charging, using your
good name as a rubber stamp, because that is what the hidden
NationStates Bank agreement allows them to do. And you, the victim of
all this fraud, all this non-disclosed and non-consensual
indebtedness--- are left on the hook for their criminality and
wrong-doing.
Meantime, the ever-resourceful Jacob
Rothschild who runs the Bank of France, was busily trying to re-brand
the bogus corporate government as THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED STATES OF
AMERICA and rename all our States as OHIO, NEW YORK, etc., and trying to
gin up a de facto service contract for this new "governmental services
corporation".
After all, the bankruptcy of a
service corporation is just the bankruptcy of a service corporation.
Just like they infringed on our copyrighted name, The United States of
America, to create the Scottish corporation calling itself "The United
States of America, Inc." in 1868 and again to create the Delaware
corporation calling itself the "United States of America, Inc." in 1925,
why not a French version calling itself THE REPUBLIC OF THE UNITED
STATES OF AMERICA?
Sounds catchy, doesn't it? We will
just omit the "INCORPORATED" part of the name so nobody knows that it is
just another corporation and not the actual sovereign government.
And, while they were at it, why not
also create another bogus Territorial United States currency --- this
one gold-backed in accord with the Federal Reserve's original Hundred
Year Plan? Just call it a "United States Note" and let 'er rip.
Except that we have not accepted Mr.
Rothschild's kind offer. In fact, we have explicitly told him and Mr.
Trump that any service provided is on a month by month quid pro quo
pending the restoration of our lawful government and we do not accept
any responsibility for any Territorial United States expenses that are
not actually related to the original equity contract known as The
Constitution for the united States of America. And our counter-offer
stands.
We are calling upon the entire rest
of the world to wake up and end the Babylonian Slave System and all the
criminality that goes with it, once and for all.
Just say "No". Say it loudly, determinedly, and refuse to be deceived.
After all --- who is the guilty
party in a situation like the Indonesian bond scandal? The CIA and the
Territorial United States Congress knew that there was no real
obligation underlying those bonds, and the Indonesian Government knew
that it was a bribe --- and tried to cash in on it anyway.
Are there any heroes or honest men
in this story? Decidedly not. They are all crooks, and have proven
that they are crooks by their respective actions. The CIA has proven to
be both crooked and incompetent, and the Indonesian Government has
proven to be a model of hypocrisy.
It's more than past time for a
worldwide housecleaning, a clean sweep that really digs into the corners
and repudiates all the fraud and prosecutes the criminals
responsible.
Here in America, it's time for most
of the "agencies" to go away. They were created by FDR, the same
scheming devil that illegally and immorally press-ganged three
generations of Americans. They are operated as private and
irresponsible contractors of the Territorial United States ---all
"governmental services vendors"--- and they have morphed into crime
syndicates operating under color of law. Same thing with all the
Municipal United States vendors.
Help put an end to this Mess. It's
your country and your responsibility to mind the store. You've all been
told now what is going on and there is no excuse for sitting on your
duffs with your mouths agape. This is not a matter of politics or race
or any of the usual blinders they use to control us. It's a simple
matter of uncontrolled criminality let loose on a worldwide basis, of
rogue government "agencies" and indeed, rogue governments.
Bah, humbug on the CIA, DIA, FBI,
DHS, NSA, BLM, FEMA, BATF, IRS, SES, SEC, DARPA, STATES OF STATES, and
the whole FU Brigade operated by the Municipal United States--- which is
supposed to limit its operations to the ten square miles of the
District of Columbia. It needs to get back in its box and stay there or
be liquidated down to the dust bunnies---with the proceeds already owed
to the American States and People.
Bah, humbug on the "Division of
Fiscal Services", the Territorial United States Congress, the "Bureau of
Public Debt", the "Government Accounting Office" (hahahahahah!) and all
the various "Oversight Committees" that have been out to lunch for the
last hundred years.
And a special bah, humbug on the
United States Attorney General and the Office of the Inspector General
and the so-called "Department of Justice" and the American Bar
Association, which have all expedited and enforced this gross
criminality and helped create the deceits and fraud schemes that have
funded it.
The Silver Bah Humbug goes to the
"US" military, which can't figure out which "United States" it belongs
to, to the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon, the US Strategic Command
(hahahahahahah!) and especially all the Public and Civil Affairs
Officers and Provost Marshals and JAG Officers who can't read their own
Manuals and do their jobs with both hands, their butts, and a
flashlight.
Last, but not least, the Golden Bah
Humbug goes to the United Nations, for unequaled hypocrisy,
incompetence, self-service, and greed. Everyone knows that "the UN" is a
fraud, they just aren't aware yet of the true and sinister extent of
the rot--- but keep a-going and all that will be dug up along with Dag
Hammarskjold.

Instruction on the Sixth Sunday After Pentecost
Rev. Fr. Leonard Goffine's
The Church's Year
The Church's Year
The Introit of this day's Mass is the prayer of a soul that trusts in God's powerful and merciful protection:
INTROIT The
Lord is the strength of his people, the protector of the salvation of
his Anointed: save, O Lord, thy people, and bless Thine inheritance, and
rule them for ever. Unto Thee will I cry, O Lord: O my God, be not Thou
silent to me; lest if Thou be silent to me, I become like them that go
down into the pit. (Ps. XXVII.) Glory
be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost, as it was in
the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
COLLECT O
God of hosts, to whom belongeth all that is perfect: implant in our
hearts the love of Thy name, and grant within us an increase of
religion, that Thou mayest nourish in us what is good, and by the fervor
of our devotion may preserve in us what Thou hast nourished. Through
our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, who liveth and reigneth with Thee, in
the Unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end, Amen.
EPISTLE (Rom.
VI. 3-11.) Brethren, All we who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are
baptized in his death. For we are buried together with him by baptism
unto death: that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the
Father so we also may walk in newness of life. For if we have been
planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall also be in the
likeness of his resurrection. Knowing this, that our old man is
crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end
that we may serve sin no longer. For he that is dead is justified from
sin. Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall live also
together with Christ. Knowing that Christ, rising again from the dead,
dieth now no more, death shall no more have, dominion aver him. For in
that he died to sin, he died once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto
God. So do you also reckon that you are dead indeed to sin, but alive
unto God, in Christ Jesus our Lord.
EXPLANATION The
apostle here teaches that in consequence of our baptism we are made
members of Christ's body, and must, therefore, die to sin; as Christ by
His death died to physical life, but has risen again, so must we bury
sin, by constant renewal of baptismal vows, and by self-mortification
rise to a Christian life. As members of Christ's body we should in a
spiritual manner imitate Him. As He permitted His body to be nailed to
the cross to atone for our sins, so should we crucify our corrupt nature
by self-denial, and as He after His Resurrection lives always, because
having risen He dieth no more, so we, risen from the death of sin,
should lead a pious life conformable to that of Christ.
ASPIRATION I trust, O Lord Jesus, that by the merits of Thy passion I have risen from the death of sin: grant me Thy grace, that as Thou diest no more, so may I die no more by sin, but live for God, according to Thy law.
GOSPEL (Mark.
VIII. 1-9.) At that time, When there was a great multitude with Jesus,
and had nothing to eat, calling his disciples together, he saith to
them: I have compassion on the multitude, for behold they have now been
with me three days, and have nothing to eat; and if I shall send them
away, fasting, to their ,home, they will faint in the way: for some of
them came from afar off. And his disciples answered him: From whence can
any one fill them here with bread in the wilderness? And he asked them:
How many loaves have ye? Who said: Seven. And he commanded the people
to sit down on the ground. And taking the seven loaves, giving thanks,
he broke, and gave to his disciples to set before them: and they set
them before the people. And they had a few little fishes, and he blessed
them, and commanded them to be set before them. And they did eat, and
were filled, and they took up that which was left of the fragments,
seven baskets: and, they that had eaten were about four thousand: and he
sent them away.
Why did Christ say: I have compassion on the multitude?
Because
of His mercy and goodness to man, as well as to prove that which He
taught on another occasion, (Matt. VI. 33.) that to those who seek first
the kingdom of God and His justice all other things will be added,
without asking; for none of the multitude asked Christ for food, and yet
He provided for all.
REMARK. The instruction after the gospel for the fourth Sunday in Lent, where a similar miracle is mentioned, may be read to-day.
INSTRUCTION ON BLESSING
And He blessed them. (Mark VIII. 7.)
Seduced
by Satan, the first man violated the holy command of God, and by his
sin brought upon himself and his habitation the curse of divine wrath.
(Gen. III. 17.) Man was made by God, and therefore subject to Him, but
was himself master of all created things. .After the sin of
disobedience, however, all creation revolted against him: the animals
fled from him, the fields yielded only thorns and thistles, the herbs
became poisonous to him, or refused him their former wholesome power.
Innumerable evils followed, all men and even the whole earth suffered
from them; the devil drew both into his sphere and made them his
servants, and this evil spirit now made use of created ,things to divert
man altogether from God and to cause his eternal ruin. But God decreed
that man and earth should not remain in this condition: Christ, the Son
of God, came upon earth, redeemed it from the bonds of Satan, and gave
all men the power to become once more God's children. The devil was
conquered by the cross, but not slain; man and the, earth were indeed
taken from his dominion, but not from his influence; for he even now, as
the apostle Writes, goes about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may
devour, (I Peter V. 8.); and as he used the forbidden fruit in paradise
to seduce man, he now uses the created things of the earth to tempt
man, and, make him his servant. Man and all creation had to be drawn
from this pernicious influence, to be liberated from the bondage of
corruption and be brought to the freedom of the children of God. (Rom.
VIII. 19.) This is done in the Church, to which Christ entrusted the
power of binding and loosing, and gave the work of sanctifying through
the Holy Ghost, by means of blessing and consecrating. By virtue of the
merits of Christ, and with the assistance of the Holy Ghost, the Church,
or the priest in her name, therefore blesses and consecrates persons as
well as other created things which they are to use, or which she is to
apply to the service of God. In this the Church follows the example of
Christ and the Apostles. Jesus embraced children and laid His hands upon
them, blessing them; (Mark X. 16.) He blessed bread and fishes, the
food of thousands; blessed breed and wine at the last supper; (Matt.
XXVI. 26.) was recognized by the disciples in the blessing of bread;
(Luke XXIV. 30.) blessing the disciples He ascended into heaven; (Luke
XXIV. 51.) by His command the apostles wished peace to every house into
which they stepped; (Matt. X. 12, 13.) and St. Paul expressly says, that
every living thing is sanctified by prayer and the word of God. (I Tim.
IV. 5.) Following the example and command of Christ the Church also
introduced blessings and benedictions which were prefigured in the Old
Law. God commanded the priests to sanctify and to consecrate whatever
was to belong to His service, (Levit. VIII.) and the Old Law is full of
blessings and consecrations which had to be used by the priests; (Exod.
XXIX. 36.; XXX. 25.; XI. 9.) and if persons and things used for God's
service were to be blessed, how much more so in the New Law which in
place of the type, contains the reality and truth The testimony of
Scripture is confirmed by all the holy Fathers, and by the constant
practice of the Church which has received from Christ the power to bless
and to consecrate.
The
blessing or benediction of the Church is nothing more than a, prayer of
intercession which the priest makes in the name of the Church, that for
the sake of Christ (therefore the sign of the cross) and the prayers of
the saints, God may give His blessings to a person or thing, and
sanctify it. Through consecration, in which besides prayer and the sign
of the cross, the anointing with holy oil is used, things required for
divine service are separated from all other things and especially
sanctified. Thus persons, fruits, bread, wine, houses, ships and fields,
are blessed; churches, altars, bells, &c., are consecrated.
What virtue have these blessings?
The
chief effects of the blessing of persons are: Preservation or
liberation from the influence of Satan; preservation of the soul from
his temptations and evil suggestions; reservation of the body and of the
property from his pernicious malice; forgiveness of venial sins, and
strength to suppress concupiscence; curing of sickness and physical
evils, whether natural or supernatural; a blessing upon the person and
his surroundings; the imparting of the grace of conversion; the
advantage of the prayer of the Church and further grace for the
remission of temporal and eternal punishment. The blessing of things
withdraws them from the influence of the devil, so that he can no longer
use them as a means of bringing us into sin, but that they rather serve
us as a protection against the evil spirits and as a means for our
salvation.
Whence do the blessings derive their force?
From
the merits of Christ who by His death on the cross vanquished Satan.
The Church asks God that He will through these merits and through the
intercession of the saints bless a person or thing, and make that which
is blessed profitable to us for both body and soul. Whether or not the
effects manifest themselves in the person who receives the blessing, or
makes use of the object blessed, depends on his faith and moral
condition, as also on the usefulness or profit of the blessing to him.
We should not, then, place obstacles in its way by diffidence in God and
the prayers of the Church or by a sinful life, but should always be
convinced, that these benedictions will serve for our benefit, if
according to God's will they are used as the Church intends, as a means
to overcome evil, to sanctify ourselves, and to honor God.
Why are salt and water blessed?
This
is plainly shown in the prayer the priest says in blessing them; for he
asks, in the name of the Church, that God may pour the virtue of His
blessing over the water that it may conquer devils, prevent sickness,
and that everything which is sprinkled with it, may be preserved from
every injury, and that He may bless the salt, so that it may be salutary
for the body and soul of all who use it. The salt which Eliseus
sprinkled into the unwholesome waters of Jericho healed them, (IV King.
II. 20. 21.) and is a type of blessed salt.
Why are the people sprinkled with holy water on Sundays?
To
remind the people of the interior purity with which they should come to
divine service, and fulfil the duties of their calling; and to exhort
them to purify themselves from the stains of sin by tears of sorrow, and
repentance. Hence the priest in sprinkling the faithful recites the
words of the fiftieth psalm: Asperges me hyssopo, etc. Sprinkle me with
hyssop, and I shall be cleansed; to remind them to preserve the purity
and innocence procured by the blood of the Lamb of God, and communicated
to them in baptism. Finally, the people are sprinkled that the
temptations of the devil may depart from them, enabling them to attend
with great fervor and with more recollection to the holy service.
What else is to be remembered concerning the use of blessed things?
That
they are to be used with faithful confidence for the purpose for which
the Church blessed them, and are to be treated with great reverence,
because they are blessed by the Church in the name of Jesus, a custom
almost as old as Christianity itself. The Christian must not believe
that blessed things which he possesses, carries, or uses, will make him
holy, for he should always remember that things blessed are only a means
of sanctification, and are only effectual when the faithful have the
earnest will to die rather than sin, to fight with all fervor against
the enemies of their salvation, to follow Christ, and be thereby
received into the freedom of the children of God, and into heaven.
