Quips and All Right... Let Us Judge Quotes CATHOLICS BY THE BIBLE! Just Plain Old Us For three days pant, their strength has been taxed, And the entire house has been scrubbed anil waxed. For they're having the Smithers over to dine. They've laid in candles and quaint little wine; She's borrowed the ice-cream forks from Mabel, And cut-work place mats gladden the table. She's whipped up a sumptuous repast, Anil the Smithers are here at last, at last! And limp as a squid from the three-flay hassle IN'ow sits milord in his gleaming castle. Amazed at hearing his helpmate bubble: "But we didn't go to the slightest trouble! (Darling, go fetch the caviar.') You'll just have to take us the way we are!" Georgie S. Galbraith A self-made man had just been elected president of one of the nation's biggest corporations, and reporters gathered at his parents' modest little cottage to learn more about his boyhood. "Well," said the father thought fully, "we rarely hear from James too busy, you know. Maybe you'd better talk to his mother here. She sent him all the way through college by doing laundry." The reporters shifted their attention to the haggard woman nearby. "And did your son do anything to help you, madam?" one asked. "Sure," was the weary reply. "He sent home his laundry every week." F.

They re ported to the infirmary and were told the experiment was potentially dangerous. This didn't bother one of the prisoners, but the other shook his head firmly. "Count me out," he said, "but I admire you. Good luck." He offered his hand, but his buddy turned away. "Don't speak to me again," he said. "You've disgraced the uniform!" Frances Benson A young lady oyster returned from her first date with a handsome lobster and was telling her girl friend about it. "He's charming," she said, "and so romantic. He told me what a beautiful shell I had, then he put his arm around me . . ." A look of horror came over her as she clutched at her throat and cried, "Good heavens! My pearls!" James Shurluck Family Weekly, October 7, 1962 Many sincere people regard the Bible as the sole authority for Christian belief. And they reject the teachings of the age-old Catholic, Church be cause these teachings and fornuf Catholic worship are not men tioned by name in Holy Scripture. "Where". .. some will ask, "does the Bible say anything about the Mass or Purgatory ? And how about confession to a priest, pray ing to Mary, and those seven Sacraments you Catholics talk about ? They're not in MY Bible." Although everything contained in the Bible is true, yet the Bible is not the sole source of all truth. For example, we know that Christ established His Church . . . that the Church existed long before the Bible was completed ... that mil lions lived and died in the Savior's truth without ever having seen a Bible. But we are willing to set aside these historical truths for the moment and judge Catholic be liefs and practices by the Bible. Take first, for instance, the fact that the Bible does not mention the Mass or Purgatory by name. Well, neither does it mention the word Bible by name. Furthermore nowhere within its covers is it stated what are the writings which contain the inspired Word of God. The only authority you have for this is the word of the Catholic Church, which preserved and col lected the Scriptural writings and put them between the covers of a book. The word "Sacrament," mean ing a sacred rite, is not used any where in the Bible. But Holy Scripture does make clear the sacredness of such Catholic rites as Baptism, Confirmation, the Eucharist, Matrimony, Penance, the Last Anointing, and Holy SUPREME COUNCIL KIHGHTS of COLUniBUS RELIGIOUS INFORMATION BUREAU 1N 422 lINDIll IIVO. rtiiii-. ST. IOUIS , MISSOURI Orders, the latter rite being the deputizing of the successors to the Apostles. The Sacraments were in posses sion of the Church and in daily use before a single line of the New Testament was written. People were being received into the Church by Baptism long before there was a New Testament. They were receiving Confirmation, were being married according to Christ's teaching, and praying over andanojming the dangerously sick. Christ definitely did establish His Church. He did deputize His Apostles, and their successors, to continue His teaching. He did promise that His Church would endure forever, and could not fall into error. But He never did Uy: "All My teachings shall be in a book. Read and believe nothing else."
