People are begin- ,723 ning to realize more and more the necessity and - j importance of worshipping a God in some manner 'Lg' W3 1 . since in past ages it has been found impossible to live wg. properly without thus adoring a Supreme Being. il' ' .Knowing this great need for religion, the Catholic Church is ,A,Ng','ij' .Sabi doing its utmost to bring the Light of faith to those sitting in the -gg A darkness of unbelief. But the Church is paying a great price for . G' -, its efforts. immense sums of money are being spent yearly in ' yn I the construction of churches and schools. Countless numbers of Q ,L uft pious persons are giving up their homes, their families and the Begg, tl '-3 luxuries of life in order to carry the Word of God to the inhabi- tants of Africa, China, India, and other foreign countries, and ' ll X VI' to teach Christ and Christ crucified to all the nations of the world. p J 51' But we must not think that the price of religion stops here. ' :mpg Scattered throughout the bloody pages of history we find tales . which show that belief in God has cost the lives of millions of it ?' 55' persons. In the early days of the Christian Church martyrs N f f 'De Without number suffered every torture that the fiendish minds of hi ' a the emperors could conceive, and all because they refused to .55 51, 'g ig worship the false gods. Down through the ages of history perse- this y jx . XVSI. cution followed persecution. . Z I 1. 'X Even now these fanatics are waging in the great country of F 31 Russia, one of the worst attacks on religion, in general, that has , r T L ever been recorded in history. Priests and nuns are exiled and Jxlgngw' fm. X 3 even killed 5 churches are being destroyed and the people are for- ,qv-. i. bidden to teach their children-any religion whatsoever.. Certainly, 4225,-wma' p m 'gp at present, the outlook in this country 1S .very dark indeed, but . LE - we may confidently expect that God, in His own good time, will FN., , see fit to stop this awful war on religion. ' . Thus it can be readily-perceived that the Church has retained i its existence only at a terrible cost in human lives. But no matter how much Christ's spouse is persecutedg no matter how many of tk ' wgiigg its faithful followers are killed, the Church can never be exter- '. minated, for Christ is with it and shall continue to be with it for F25 df- 1 all time as we may learn from His own words, For, behold, I 'Ale P am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
