 all its  accompanying  blessings,  profit  not  by  it,  our guilt will  be  all  the  greater. Hence, I  venture  to say,  that  a  good  Protestant  is  more  acceptable  in  the sight of  God  than  a  bad  Catholic,  for  it  were  better for a  man  never  to  have  known  the  truth  than,  after he hath  known  it,  to  turn  away  from  the  holy  commandment that  was  delivered  to  him. Does it  not redound to  our  shame  and  the  glory  of  Protestants that we,  with  all  the  graces  and  helps  the  true  Church affords, are  still  so  little  better  than  they? Brethren, the fact  that  we  have  been  called  into  Christ's  true Church, places  on  us  a  fearful  responsibility  of  clinging more  closely  to  her;  of  using  the  means  of  salvation she  holds  out  to  us;  and  of  thus  working  out our salvation  which  Christ  has  made  so  easy. As for those who  have  not  been  so  called — well,  we  must have for  them  a  forbearance  and  a  love  as  broad  as the  mercy  and  charity  of  God  Himself. Remember always, that  though  they  belong  not  to  the  limited and visible  body  of  the  Church,  they  may  belong  to her  world-wide  and  invisible  soul;  remember  that  of them  Christ  has  said  that:  "  Many  shall  come  from the  east  and  the  west  and  shall  sit  down  in  the  kingdom of  God,  but  many  of  the  children  of  the  kingdom shall  be  cast  out." Finally as  for  those  that  are  outside both  the  soul  and  body  of  the  Church,  let  us  beg the holy  Spirit  of  God  to  enlighten  them  to  know  the truth and  to  strengthen  them  to  conform  their  lives thereto, so  that  there  may  be  but  one  fold  and  one Shepherd.
