Cuban Adjustment Act costs lives
CUBA condemned Thursday the policies of the United States that incite
illegal emigration by residents of the island to that country, with
resulting human fatalities, as occurred this past December 22.
Cuban Adjustment Act costs livesAccording to a communication from the
Ministry of the Interior, read out yesterday on the Cuban Roundtable
TV program, two Cubans perished on Saturday, December 22 after the
speedboat in which they were attempting to leave the country capsized
one kilometer off the northern coast of Havana province.
Autopsies performed at the Legal Medicine Institute in the capital
determined that Yosvani Vera Alvarez, aged 29 and Zuleika Rodrguez
P(c)rez, 43, died from drowning.
The text also reported that another nine citizens, women and children
among them, who boarded the boat that came from the United States for
the purposes of human trafficking, managed to reach the shore alive.
The survivors said that as soon as they embarked, water began to leak
into the boat which also had problems with one of its two engines.
This situation required their return to land within a few minutes.
However, the speedboat, manned by two crewmen, changed direction
abruptly, turned over and began to sink, stern first.
Cuban authorities are searching for the two crew members, who
apparently managed to escape into Cuban territory after abandoning the
shipwrecked immigrants.
At the same time, the communication concludes, investigations are
continuing into this unfortunate accident whose root cause is the
murderous U.S. Cuban Adjustment Act, which incites illegal emigration
and the lucrative activities of the Cuban American mafia in South
Florida.

have very sufficient evidence of the conversion of their souls, through
divine grace, though it is not the custom here, as it is in many other
churches in this country, to make a credible relation of their inward
experiences the ground of admission to the Lord's supper.
I am far from pretending to be able to determine how many have lately
been the subjects of such mercy; but if I may be allowed to declare any
thing that appears to me probable in a thing of thin nature, I hope that
more than 300 souls were savingly brought home to Christ, in this town,
in the space of half a year, and about the same number of males as
females. By what I have heard Mr. Stoddard say, this was far from what
has been usual in years past; for he observed that in his time, many
more women were converted than men. Those of our young people who are on
other accounts most considerable, are mostly, as I hope, truly pious,
and leading persons in the ways of religion. Those who were formerly
loose young persons, are generally, to all appearance, become true
lovers of God and Christ, and spiritual in their dispositions. I hope
that by far the greater part of persons in this town, above sixteen
years of age, are such as have the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. By
what I have heard I suppose it is so in some other places, particularly
at Sunderland and South Hadley.
This has also appeared to be a very extraordinary dispensation, in that
the Spirit of God has so much extended not only His awakening, but
regenerating influences, both to elderly persons, and also to those who
are very young. It has been heretofore rarely heard of, that any were
converted past middle age; but now we have the same ground to think that
many such have at this time been savingly changed, as that others have
been so in more early years. I suppose there were upwards of fifty

Superstition to believe propositions. Faith, etc.
256. I say there are few true Christians, even as regards faith. There are
many who believe but from superstition. There are many who do not believe
solely from wickedness. Few are between the two.
In this I do not include those who are of truly pious character, nor all
those who believe from a feeling in their heart.
257. There are only three kinds of persons; those who serve God, having
found Him; others who are occupied in seeking Him, not having found Him;
while the remainder live without seeking Him and without having found Him.
The first are reasonable and happy, the last are foolish and unhappy; those
between are unhappy and reasonable.

259. Ordinary people have the power of not thinking of that about which they
do not wish to think. "Do not meditate on the passages about the Messiah,
said the Jew to his son. Thus our people often act. Thus are false religions
preserved, and even the true one, in regard to many persons.
But there are some who have not the power of thus preventing thought, and
who think so much the more as they are forbidden. These undo false religions
and even the true one, if they do not find solid arguments.
260. They hide themselves in the press and call numbers to their rescue.

848. If the compassion of God is so great that He instructs us to our
benefit, even when He hides Himself, what light ought we not to expect from
Him when He reveals Himself?

Unjust judges, make not your own laws on the moment; judge by those which

Miracles endless, false.
In order to weaken your adversaries, you disarm the whole Church.
If they say that our salvation depends upon God, they are "heretics." If
they say that they are obedient to the Pope, that is "hypocrisy." If they
are ready to subscribe to all the articles, that is not enough. If they say
that a man must not be killed for an apple, "they attack the morality of
Catholics." If miracles are done among them, it is not a sign of hol
