"""96 THE FAITH OP OUR FATHERS.only an act of irreverence, but of sheer folly, to disobey the voice of this ever-truthful Mother.^If a citizen is bound to obey the laws of his country, though these laws may not in all respects beconformable to strict justice; if a child is bound bjnatural and divine law to obey his mother, thoughshe may sometimes err in her judgments, how muchmore strictly are not we obliged to be docile to theteachings of the Catholic Church, our Mother, whoseadmonitions are always just^whose preceptsare immutable !For twenty years/ observed a recently convertedMinister of the Protestant Church, I fought andstruggled against the Church with all the energyof my will. But when I became a Catholic, all mydoubts ended, my inquiriesceased. I became as alittle child, and rushed like a lisping babe into thearms of my mother." By Baptism, Christians becomechildren of the Church, no matter who pours uponthem the regenerating waters. If she is our Mother,where is our love and obedience ? When the infantseeks nourishment at its mother s breast, it does notitsanalyze food. When it receives instructions fromits mother s lips,it never doubts, but instinctivelybelieves. When the mother stretches forth herhand, the child follows unhesitatingly. The Christian should have for his spiritual Mother all thesimplicity, all the credulity, I might say, of a child;guided by the instincts of faith.

Therefore, the Church is thedivinely appointed Custodian and Interpreter ofthe Bible. For, her office of infallible Guide weresuperfluous, if each individual could interpret theBible for himself.That God never intended the Bible to be theChristian s rule of faith, independently of the livingauthority of the Church, will be the subject of thischapter.No nation ever had a greater veneration for theBible than the Jewish people.The Holy Scripturewas their pride and their glory. It was theirnational song in time of peace ; it was their meditation and solace in time of tribulation and exile.Aud yet the Jews never dreamed of settlingtheir1 Matt, xviii. 3. I. Pet. ii. 2.9 G
