Introduction

I am going to write this little book for non-Catholics. I intend it for those who, at some time or other, may have doubted that they were living their lives as God intended they should live them, or to whom the thought may have come that the Catholic Church is the One True Church Christ founded, and in which He intended all men to work out the salvation of their immortal souls. I write it as one who is a member of that Church, who has experienced what it means to live within her bosom. In a simple way I shall endeavor to state three things. First, the awful responsibility every man has of saving his immortal soul, and in the way God intended. Second, the solid, convincing reasons why the Catholic Church is the One True Church Christ Himself founded. Third, the blessings a non-Catholic may expect to receive who enters her fold.
