Show THE INTERMOUNTAIN CATHOLIC 36 As the contacts became more frequent ancTmy reasoning powers became keener and the scope of my association with other creeds broadened the receptiveness came. It was a process until I reached gradual building-u- p the point where I felt compelled to make a decision associate myself with Holy Mother the Church or stay outside. Of course the convincing and assuring way of Catholic theology drew me primarily, but I must admit that the appeal of Catholic society was a factor not to be overlooked. Since becoming a Catholic I have continued my peeking into Catholic life. I have studied the Catholic home as a unit, have watched the children of Catholic homes, and otherwise have sought impressions. As a to see Catholic perhaps one is only the good but we must admit that the human flesh even in Catholics is weak and therefore one can not conscientiously transpose bad into good. But since the per capita of wholesomeness in Catholic society is unusually high it might be well to seek the answer. This answer may be found in a sermon by Robert Hugh BenIt is true that the Catholic son, who said: Church preaches a morality that is utterly beyond the reach of human nature left to itself; that her standards are standards of perfection, and that she prefers even the lowest rung of the supernatural ladder to the highest rung of the natural. ; Left to itself human nature would give up and take the easiest course. For proof of this just look about you. There are many organizations with the loftiest aims, creeds and ideals couched in soft expressions; but human nature is left alone to attain these ends and, human nature left alone is weak. It is apparent that in the Catholic Church human nature is not left to itself. A Convert. high-soundin- g Langton Lime and Cement Co. duty-boun- d Lime, Plaster, Portland Cement 346 S. Third W.
