Christian Denominations: BY Rev.
Vigilius H. Krull, c. PIP. S. Pub
lished by st. Joseph Printing Com
pany, Collegeville, Ind. Price, so
cents.
The popularity of this volume is at
tested by the fact that six thousand
copies have been disposed of since it's
publication in 1911. The fourth edi-
ton is almost exhausted and the fifth
will be ready in the course of a few
months. The book is worthy of the
widest distribution. 1t contains con-
else, accurate and popular exposition
of the history and teaching of the
Christian denominations found in Eng
disappearing countries. More than
one-third of the text deals with the
Catholic Church, and the rest is de-
voted to the origin and tenets of the
different sects. 1t is simple and at
tractive exposition of what every in
telligent Catholic should know about
the various denominations that have
branched off from the Catholic Church.
An earnest non-Catholic seeker after
truth will profit by perusal of it. 1t
is treasury of valuable information
for all who are brought into contact
with non-Catholics of an enquiring
turn of mind.
