Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 13 In the address delivered by my predecessor in the honorable office of President of this Society, he has pointed out the fact that our Society is almost unique among the successful organizations founded by laymen under the auspices of the Church, in that its object is not to carry on some or many of the corporal works of mercy, but as rather devoted to the building up of the faith, by gathering together a library, by stimulating interest in historical matters and enabling all who seek for the truth of history to find it uncolored by prejudice and undistorted for sectarian ends. It has taken a long while to show the value of our work, and its full significance may not be appreciated for a still longer time. There is something easily apprehended in an effort to minister to the sick, to visit the prisoner, to alleviate the miseries of the poor. No one ever asks what is the good of such works as these. It is our mission to aid in creating the spirit from which all these good works spring - the true spirit of charity which recognizes in the poor and the suffering God´s creatures and our brothers; and not from natural virtue, but for the honor and glory of their Maker, these good works proceed.
