.,The use of material objects in re-

as the human race.

The cross of Christ on the wall OF a
home is evidence that its owner is net
an inhdel. Men have eyes as well as
ears; the papers, magazines and school
books of the day must be illustrated.
A picture tells me at a glance more

eloquently as the word patriotism,
The image OF the crucitied Savior

"Non- Catholics have been led to-
look upon the use of these external
helps to religion with suspicion. They
imagine we are adoring idols instead
OF God. 1 don't adore the picture

the deacon adores the bedpost at

raised the cry of idolatry against the
