CONCLUDING LECTURE
BY FATHER SUTTON
The Roman Catholic Church Declared
to Be the True Church Of
Christ.

There was a large attendance at st.
M0nlca's church last evening TO listen to
the last OF the series Of interesting lee
lures which have been given by Rev. FIR.
Sutton for the past two weeks. The sub
ject was a most interesting one, sInfalli-
bility."
We claim the Catholic church is the in
fallible teacher OF divine revelation. An
infallible church cannot fall into error.
Secondly: That Christ established an in
fallible church, and that church which
Christ established is the Roman Catholic
church, consequently the Roman Catholic
church cannot fall into error, or teach
falsehood. The main point is, Did
Christ establish church that was infalli-
BILE and is that church he established the
Roman Catholic church? Ii can make
this clear you must admit it Is an infall-
ible guide, and cannot fall into error.
If Christ has established such an infalli-
Bile teacher and IL that church is Catho-
lie Church. she Is infallible, it follows nee
essarily. SO that those people who belong
to a religious denomination, which does
not claim to be infalhble, that they are not
belonging to the church appointed by
Christ and cannot be saved outside Of that
church which He has left to bring us to
salvation. IL Christ has left an infallible
church to be our guide 1t follows whatever
these teachings are must be the true ones.
If Christ gave us an lnfa!lible guide, it Is
to tell us. If He has established such a
guide and church it Is our duty to belong
TO it and our salvation depends upon 1t.
He has said "IIe who despiseth you des-
piseth me- We cannot hope to be in the
way Of salvation when we are despising
God Christs church then cannot fall iRto
error Once the church Of Christ 1t would
be always His church, and always teach
the same truth. God brought the people
to religious truth by teacher, By instue-
ti0n and authoritative way. The institu-
tlon Of which we find He established In
society, ia organizing, giving it power and
authority to teach things in His name
lis there any evidence in Holy Scripture
that be left such an Institution TO settle
our disputes, Has be done so2 If we
can ind evidence we must submit to t..
There Is nothing more evident that Christ
did establish Just such society and em-
power that visible society TO 90 out and
teach with authority, and that il would
not fall into error. Christ gave the fol-
lowing charter 70 them "As the Father
sent me, SO | send YOU All things what
soeyer heard from the Father ! have
made known to you, / have instructed
You, now 20 and do my work, / have im-
parted knowledge to you, and you are it
for the Office, it for the duties imposed
upon YOU 60 ye into the whole world
and preach the Gospel 70 every creature.
II is not To De bounded by any limits, 20
unto an nations He who hears you, hears
me. He that belieyeth shall be saved, he
that beieveth not, shall be damned To.
/ am with you unto the end am with
Y0u all days even unto the contamination
Of the world The gates Of hell shall no.
prevail against my church, ! viii send
the Holy Ghost the spirit Of truth who
VIII bring to your recollection all things
whatsoever told you, and who will abide
with you forever" In conclusion he re-
ferred TO the words Of our Lord to Peter,
when he made him the visible head Of His
church. and also was the first Pope of the
Catholic church, Of which 263 have sue
| eeeded him.
