SURE CURE FOR COMMUNISM

Editor, THE WANDERER:

     Mark Twain once said that every-body talks about the weather but very few try to do anything about it. The same comment might be made about the conversion of America.

     We could make many more converts if we would only try to do so. If every Catholic in America set as his goal the bringing of at least one convert into the Church every year, all America would be Catholic within three years. How can this be done? Here is a suggestion.

     Center your prayers on the soul you would save. Take a personal interest in the spiritual welfare of that person. See that he is supplied with suitable Catholic literature. Invite him to come to church with you, not once merely but many times. Non-Catholics frequently feel that they are not wanted. You must invite them and go with them at least ten times before they will go alone and of their own accord. Introduce them to your pastor and discreetly endeavor to get them under Instruction. Just a little prayer and personal effort and God will take care of the rest.

     The conversion of one’s neighbour to Christ should be the grand ambition of every Catholic. If you are interested in this kind of work and need any advice or assistance, the Defenders of the Faith are at your disposal. They have been founded for that very purpose.

     The Defenders of the Faith are sending out every week seventy thousand pieces of literature to non-Catholics all over the country. Every week they are bringing the message of the Master to millions of their fellowmen by means of transcribed radio programs. Thirty radio stations are carrying their Highway to Heaven series at the present time. The Highway to Heaven series is carried by the following stations in Minnesota: KWNO, Winona, Sundays, 12:30 p. m.; KYSM, Mankato, Sundays, 5:45 p.m.

     If you are interested in work of this nature, kindly communicate with the: Defenders of the Faith, Father Richard Felix, O.S.B., Di-rector, Pilot Grove, Missouri.
