LOYALTY TO ROMAN
CHURCH IS PRAISED
Commands Obedience That Is Shame
to Professionalism, Rev.
Mark Depp Says.

In his sermon yesterday morning on
The Holy Catholic Church Rev:
Methodist Episcopal Church. said the
Roman Catholic Church commands an
obedience and receives a loyalty that
is the shame or Professionalism.
THE real church Of Christ. TO my
mind, embraces all those who make
an effort to find and follow Christ"
he said. such conception must in
clude some who are not members oi
any church. All persons are Christians
who make this effort to follow Christ,
whether or not they affiliate themselves
with any church.
Our modern civilization is ma
ter!al and secular TO an alarming de-
gree. We need institutional religion 10
achieve great moral and spiritual ends
TO overcome gross abuses.
I'm our creed We declare that We
believe In the Holy Catholic Church.
In It's broadest sense the Holy Catholic
Church includes all seekers OF truth
in religion"
