Obscure Gospel Tract...

Hey guys, found this tract (pictures are attachments). Seems pretty weird.

Discuss: Are tracts like this Effective?

For some clarity the white side reads

Two Years after the Ratification of a Treaty of Peace between the Confederate States & the United States,

THE Confederate States OF AMERICA

Five Hundred Dollars

Jesus Says, "You must be Born Again"

The top corners have "500" displayed, the left side has a Confederate Flag. The bottom left has a star of David, the Bottom Right has a portrait of Robert E. Lee.


The back, or pink side has 500 in the upper left and bottom tight corners, the star of David in the unoccupied corners, and it has John 3:3 on the left, and John 3:16 on the right.

I think this just confuses people, and makes a joke of Gospel Tracts, but I honestly think the person who distributed these had evangelical intentions.

The whole thing makes no sense to me. I know it's like one of those bait-and-switch things (like the 1 million dollar bill with the gospel written on it) but this is just obscure. Did I mention that my mother found this on her windshield in Portland, ME? The Confederate thing is just weird.

Anybody ever distribute this particular Tract?

hmmm....interesting tract. never seen one like that before. It's even more interesting that it was found in Portland Maine. Maybe left by a visitor or even a resident who believes that "the South will rise again"

Well, that's part of what I thought. I just wish somebody on here would own this one and try to explain it. I currently use it as a bookmark =)
