The Blood


Another one from the Fellowship Tract League (#172, for those of you keeping score), this one is boringly predictable. The theme is that Jesus' blood will wash away our sins like spiritual Palmolive, with the usual guilt that HIS blood was shed for you.

The cover is what you'd expect - a hand (presumably Jesus's) with a nail sticking out of the wrist, and blood trickling all over the place. Yep. That's appealing. The only colour is red, for obvious reasons. This is a Bible quote tract, where the middle two pages are made up of lines of scripture that tell you what Jesus' blood can do for you, and what you should go and do with it. Basically, the same thing that every other tract says. The back page has the usual prayer to save your soul, with space to fill in your name and address if you want the League to know you've been Saved.

Dull, utterly unoriginal and forgettable in the extreme.
