 were growing  up  in  absolute  ignorance  of  Christian truth. And, in  fact,  so  many  such  towns  are  there that even  the  governor  of  the  State  lately  raised  his voice in  solemn  protest.

Q. What  do  you  believe  of  Jesus  Christ?

''A. I believe  that  Jesus  Christ  is  the  Son  of  God, the  second  Person  of  the  Blessed  Trinity,  true  God and  true  man. ''

Once in  Armenia  an  heretical  priest  challenged  a Catholic  missionary  to  a joint  debate. The missionary, though  reluctant,  was  in  a way  forced  to  accept. The subject  was  the  personality  of  the  Redeemer. “I admit,”  said  the  heretic,  “ that  Jesus  Christ  was God and  man,  but  so  perfectly  were  the  divine  and human natures  united  in  Him  that  He  had  but  one nature. Two pieces  of  iron  — for  example,  a large and small  piece  — if  fused  together  become  so  united as to  lose  their  individuality.”  “True,”  replied  the missionary, “ but  let  one  piece  be  an  ingot  of  gold, and will  the  result  be  all  gold  or  all  iron? Will it not  rather  be  part  gold  and  part  iron? So it  is  with Christ; in His  single  person  are  two  distinct  natures. In His  human  nature  He  suffered  and  died,  but  it was  the  divine  nature  that  gave  an  infinite  value  to His  sufferings  and  death.”

''Q. Why  is  Jesus  Christ  true  God? ''

''A. Jesus  Christ  is  true  God  because  He  is  the  true and  only  Son  of  God  the  Father. ''
