at this point, we get to the heart
of the matter. The position we're
in is this: the Church isn't some
thing we invented, something we
can amend, as you might amend

The Church is Christ's. Indeed,
in very real sense, you can leave
off the apostrophe. The Church is
Christ. That is to say, the Church
is Christ's way of continuing to be
present among us until the end of
time, to teach, sanctify and guide.
In and through the Church, Christ
speaks, acts, counsels, commands.
Christ said, Il am the Way, the
Truth, the Life" He didn't stop
being those things after He died
for US, rose again. and ascended
into heaven. In His Church, He con-
tinues to be the Way, the Truth
and the Life.
Christ didn't discuss His doctrine
with anybody, in the sense Of say

was God Incarnate. AS the Scrip
lures say, HE spoke as one having
authority" He did indeed have au-

all-powerful, all-good. Christ didn't
discuss; He laid down doctrine.
AS He said to PLATE, Il am come

knew all truth, and He spoke, with

men need to know for their per

After three weeks in court, the
trial has yet to get beyond the
first State witness-Dr. Lester

Marilyn Sheppard. wife of the
30-year-old osteopath.
Common Pleas Judge Edward
Blythin grew restless yesterday
at the defense's daylong cross
examination of DR.. Addison, al
most unprecedented in its min
uteness and detail. The Judge
said he had never tried a case
where so much time was devoted
to establishing the cause Of
death.
Threatens Extra Sessions.
He threatened Mr.. Corrigan
with Saturday court sessions un-

At one point, Mr.. Corrigan

a murderer and then built up a
