What is that conclusive fact? 1t is re
corded in v. 81 in these words: "Aitel
this, many" not u iew only, but "manS
Of his disciples went away: and walked
no more with hlm,"
This brief exposition shows, too, how
egregiouSly our doctrine Ia mlsrepresent'
ed, when II Is identified with the crude
notions OF tho men OF Capernaum.
But it may be asked why, then, after
so lucid M explanation, did those dis.
cipIes still refuse 10 believer This CUES
ton answer by asking a second: Why,
after tho same explanation, ten thou
sand times repeated, do so many still re-
fuse to believe? Perhaps the key that
solves the second may also solve the
first Of these questions;
Third question; "Did not Christ
say except 20 cat the flesh
OF the son OF man and drink his
blood, ye have no life in youY Can the
laity take this flesh aud blood by proSy2"
Answer - When prolcstants argue
against our practice OF giving commun-
ion to the fatty under one kind only,
their reasoning sins against one 0l the
plailest rules Vi logic and common
sense; because that process OF argumen-
tation first takes for granted that the
doctrine OF trApsuhstantiatlon Is false;
hut that Is the main point on which the
whole controversy hangs. II the bread
and wine are transubstantiatcd into the
flesh and blood OF Christ, as Our church
teaches, then in rirlue OF that insepara-
hle union described in SECOND answer
the blood Of Christ Is received, as well
~ his body, by the laity when they
communicates; nay, the whole Christ
is present under cach form, Hence,
il Christ does say; "ExGept
you cat the flesh Of the Son OF Man
and drink His blood, you shall not have
life in youi" dles no not also say tJohn
yie5W: h.He that cateth this bread shall
live toreyer;n also V. SO: 'sIf any maR
eat OF this bread he shall 1.-Two forever"
does not Christ attribute here to COM
muniOn under one kind, the same effects
which elsewhere He attributes Ia cem-
munion under both kinds? presume
Christ is tho safest interpreter Of His
own words and doctrines. Again, dnca
not 81, Pail Il Cor, 9i-sT) declare q man
guilty Of both the body and blood Of the
Lord, who receives communion uD,
worthily under either fornP W4here-
fore whos0eyes shall eat this bread or
drink tho chalice of the Lord unworth-
lily, shall be guilty of the body and Of
the blood OF the E,ord,'' AM aware
that Tho authorized version, or King
James Bible, substituted "and" instead
of "or," in the tNt clpUEe OF that verse,
on purpose TO deprive us Catholics OF
the argument which the correct render
ing furnishes in favor OF our practice;
but the learned gentlemen who lately no,
Yised the ScrlptAres were honest enough
to restore the word "or." (See Revised
Edition..
l will only remark that our Lnld's
wQrds, WMnk We all OF this" were not
addressed to the laity, but to his priests
and apostles, and hence they arc no ar
gument against our practice, say
practice, because this il q matter, not OF
doctrine, but Of discipline; but cannot
now enter into a history OF this disCi-
pline, which, Catholics are fully aware,
