' More than Sixty thousand peo ple embrace Catholicism each year in this country alone. That’s 5,000 a month, 1155 a week, 164 a day.

No, they enter the Church—most of them—in adult life, after consider ing the subject of religion from i every angle, and after the thorough course of study required for such a step. • Can this be the Church that teaches all those absurd, super stitions, evil and unpatriotic things which have been so widely circulated?
