Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 20 You have heard the report of the Secretary, and, considering the amount of financial assistance which the Treasurer´s report shows we have received, the results of the past year are certainly creditable to those faithful workers who have taken an interest in our Society. Our requirements, unfortunately, are far in excess of the support accorded to us. We need $4,000 to pay off all indebtedness, none of which, however, is pressing; we need a fund to purchase books and manuscripts; and above all we need a permanent fund, the interest of which can be devoted to historical research. There are many priceless treasures, fast going to decay, hidden away in dark corners. These treasures should be unearthed, brought to light and put in permanent form, to inspire and encourage us. History, we are told, is the record of the past. Much of it should be buried in oblivion; but the history of the Catholic Church in America, the struggles of the early pioneers, their devotion to their religion, their charity towards their fellowmen, is not a mere chronicle of events, for it teaches us a lesson and gives us an incentive which we sadly need in this material, selfish age.
