Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Trials and Triumphs of the Church: As Illustrated in the Person of the Roman Pontiff: Being a Discourse Delivered in St. Andrew's Cathedral, Glasgow
Eighteen hundred years have elapsed since the God of all charity established His religion of charity; for the religion of Jesus Christ was essentially charity, since it was intended for the benefit of the souls and the bodies of men. In reminding you, my dearly beloved brethren, that you are children of God, and members of the religion of Jesus Christ, I remind you of the duties which religion imposes upon us all of loving one another, of doing good to one another, and of ministering to the wants of one another. And while thus, in few words, I strive to press home upon your hearts the claims of our poorer brethren - Who are under the fostering care of the admirable Society of St Vincent of Paul - you will permit me, in those days of dire trouble and excitement, to touch upon a kin dred subject, that I may endeavour to animate your faith, and encourage your h0pe, while I seek to stimulate your charity, not simply to acts of alms-deeds, but to earnest and long-continued prayer, for the welfare of our most holy Church.
