Letter Claimed as Jesus Christ Issued From High Shoals Banner
A June 1884 Banner reprint presents a long letter said to be written by Jesus Christ and found beneath a rock near Iconium. The letter promises Sabbath kept holy, baptism, Lord's Supper, and blessings for believers, while warning of plagues for nonbelievers and effusive moral injunctions. The document is presented as a historical copy with a tale of a stone, a child turning it over, and a messenger angel.
