The Fathers of the Catholic Church
By Editor
"The Fathers, the Fathers, the Fathers!" Martin Luther tells us was the cry in the day of the Reformation by those who opposed the living, developing truth of the Gospel. The great reformer's opponents tried to silence the voice of God by tradition. It is even true to-day. Many make the Word of God void by new theories. Many others make it equally void by setting up over it the traditions of men, the now unfounded theories of centuries ago. Many persons believe that the first three centuries were largely free from error. They do not know what the character and teachings of the "Fathers" of those early centuries are. To such we wish to commend the book, "The Fathers of the Catholic Church," by E. J. Waggoner. This little work shows the condition of the heathen world at the time of Christ, sets forth the principles of heathen philosophy, and shows how many of these principles were incorporated into the teachings of the church, lowering and corrupting the pure and holy standard of the apostolic church. The book is a mine of information on the Fathers, and in these days every one who seeks to be well informed without wading through a vast morass of matter, would do well to obtain the book. It contains 400 pages, is well bound in cloth, and the price is $1.00. It may be obtained at this office.
