WIIMI MMaBSUSBBSSBBSSSBSSlUSU What do Catholics believe in re tard to tb Bible? They believe that It la the Word of Cod. divinely la spired, but that the Catholic Church alone has the power to Interpret It. because God gave her that power. That It was throusjh the Catholic Church that the world obtained the Bible has been proved, and tt wis Christ Himself who said. (Matt. 21. xiv. xx). "Go y therefore and teach all nations. bnpUiinc them ta the naine of the Father and of the Son and ot the Holy Ghost:' tesehlntf thio.U observer all. taiat-s whatso ever f have conrtfianded you And 10. I am with you all days, evea to the end of tba world." The Catholic Church therefore, contends thst the Apostles and . their successors to whom the command waa riven, can rightly Interpret ' the Scriptures. When Georce Washington ana nis associates wrote the constitution of I the United States, they did not say to the people of the 'United States. "Let everyoaexead the constitution. Interpret tt to suit himself ana mass I a government to himself," but a su preme court was constituted to Inter-1 pret those laws with a supreme judge to decide In matters of contention. Otherwise- we should have had aa much I confusion In the United States as exists In retard to religion. It would have been confusion worse confounded. because there wojild have been absolutely no norm ex tant for guidance. In Christianity we have that norm la the cat none Church which - Christ establish as the supreme court with a supreme Judge both ot which la lafallhle since Christ Himself culdes them as He nromised to do. The Catholic faith la a divine-faith while all other Christian rellxlon rounded epw man's opinion Is human faltn. xne Catholic is not satisfied to have the Bible read and-explained by anyone and everyone, end la therefore con sistent vbM be objects to the prac tire of this In the nubile schools. It is not that tfi objects to the publld schools for Secular education as many would have us think, out oe cause he wishes to hsve only exact ness and certainty In religion tan gut his children not mere theory or false principles. And tt Is because 01 this that the Catholic objects to at tendance at other relljcious services The anedueated la religion arenas fallible In their beliefs as a little child attending the prims ry schools. Would you consent to hsve your child attend various schools where two plus two might equal five or ten or anrthlnr else, or where It was taught that It waa ol lltue impor tance after all to know now mucn two plus two equalled? The Catholic knows he has the trutn. is ae a nisei because he exscta obedience on the art of his child la learning the truth also? We know lull well tnat tne average man thlaks he Is "broad when it cornea to religious views. Pat It ts a tact that la nlnety-alae per cent of these cases he ts also extreme ly shallow. He sets himself ap as a Judge, where he has little knowledge of any religion. The Catholic Churth knowing herself to be the tearher ap pointed by Christ Himself.' Is using every means to brine all to the cor rect knowledge or tne christian re lic Ion. Therefore, "in season and oul ot season." ahe is ever busy doing the work her Master gave her to do; she Is striving to Impart her doc trines, admonishing her children to lead truly Christiaa lives, and her prayer are ever ascending for those without the fold. She has exuted tor nearly 200 years In spite of all her enemies and like her Master she Is always proclaiming that she Is nM anxious for wordly honors, place Or power, but her only desire Is to carry on the work given her to do.
