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. G. Kernan

Two buddies in the state penitentiary
heard that research doctors needed prison
ers to act as "human guinea pigs" in a
test of a new medical technique. 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!"

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

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."

pamphlet explaining the Catholic
teaching concerning such things
as the Sacraments, Purgatory, why
Catholics do not eat meat on
Friday, why we call it Catholic
