THERE is, as we have seen, not the slightest hint, throughout the Holy Scriptures, about prayers to the Virgin Mary or to saints. Nor, for 360 years after Christ, was a single word said or written in favor of such a practice. The Fathers of the first six centuries never, in the least degree, advocated a worship of the Virgin Mary or saints.

Deprived of that nourishment which is essential to life, man sinks beneath the stroke of a disease so virulent, that whatever touches the infected person, imparts the plague to those with whom it comes in contact. The natural world is a reflection of the spiritual. Hence the dearth, with which the Romish church afflicted Europe, speedily engendered a plague; and Popery demands to be considered not merely as a Famine of all spiritual good; but also as a MORAL PESTILENCE, spreading disease and death wherever it went!

We must remember that, in order to take Mary out of the category of those that “sleep in Jesus,” in order to place her on an equality with Jesus, and put her now at His right hand, upon God’s throne in the heavens, the Romanist had to invent the fable of the “assumption” of Mary to heaven—a fable for which there is not the slightest shadow of argument nor testimony, except the pagan mythology of Rome.
