The New York Observer makes
this sensible and pointed reply to a
Roman Catholic paper ; “ When we
said there was nothing in the Bible .
to encourage prayers for the dead,
one of the Roman Catholic journals
took us up and quoted from the
book of Moca bees, to prove the doc
trine and to convict us of ignorance.
We have no such book as Macabees
in our Bible. It is very convenient
for our neighbors of the Romish
sect to have a lot of spurious tracts
which we call the Apochrypha, out
of which they prove their false <ioc-
trines. But, we would have them
to understand that when we speak
of the Bible we refer to the Word
of God.”

to correct our contemporary, the
Christian-Evangelist, in the state
