A few will contend that there is no life hereafter . . . that man ends his days in a blank nothingness like animals. But for most people, there is a natural and instinctive hope that life on earth is only the first step toward a more joyous eternal life to come. This instinctive hope, however, carries with it no conclusive proof that there is a life hereafter, and no obvious "blueprint" showing how to attain it. Because of this, many are bewildered uncertain of the earthly way of life that will determine their eternal destiny. Catholics, of course, do not claim that they alone are capable of having a greater knowledge of eternity than is available to any one else. But where some may be confused and uncertain, the Cath- olic finds certainty in his Church for that time when "the night cometh that no man can work." You may hear it said that this is only a blind and superstitious faith . . . that Catholics are merely "whistling in the dark" . . . that the Catholic Church doesn't know any mote about God's plan for our destiny than does anyone else. On the contrary. Catholics be lieve that the way of life pre scribed by Jesus Christ is God's Own plan for our salvation. We SUPREME COUNCIL KIIIGHTS of COLUIHDUS RELIGIOUS INFORMATION BUREAU believe further that Christ established the Catholic Church to perpetuate His teach ingand administer His Sacraments . . . and that it has done so from the time of Peter down to this very moment. It is often said that the faith placed in Christ by Catholics . . . and by other Christians, too. . . is unwarranted by facts and reason. A powerful answer to this will be found in our pamphlet: "The Way To Everlasting Life . . . The Cath olic Church." Even though you may not be interested in the Cath olic Faith, this pamphlet will help you better to understand God's plan for your life. We invite all people of good will to write for a free copy of this pamphlet. It will be mailed im mediately, and nobody will call on you. Write today ... ask for Pam phlet No. FM-20.
