 Item
Identifier: CANY I-1-d

Scope and Contents

He encloses a list of subscribers which is no longer enclosed to the "Special Fund" of the Catholic Publications Society . Most of the tracts will be distributed to various institutions and prisons gratuitously and the rest sold for less than cost. Proceeds from memberships will make up the "General Fund" and the work is essentially missionary, and involves sacrifice. There are Brooklyn names on his list and she could add them to hers. Why should they not form a league for the cause of Our Lord. Our Lord has promised that if they believe in Him, they shall do greater works than He did. The first of all successes is Christ's triumph in their souls; humiliation etc. work for a higher glory. To suffer for Christ is the shortcut to becoming Christlike. God will employ them most purposefully if they let Him. :: I-1-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
