Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Unchangeable Church, Vol. 1 of 2: Her Heroes, Her Martyrs, Her Trials, and Her Triumphs Dear Sir: I have read with both pleasure and profit your work on "The Unchangeable Church," and I congratulate you on the completion of these excellent volumes. You have culled some noble and inspiring pages from that great book which the highest minds love to peruse - the history of the Catholic Church - and you have presented them to your readers in simple and truthful language. Your book is truly eloquent and convincing, and its title is amply justified by the history of every century and every nation. The Catholic Church remains at all times the one Unchangeable Church, not alone in her doctrine and government and discipline, but also in her devotion to the best interests of the whole people. She is, indeed, emphatically the Church of the People. In all ages, and amid all conditions, she is the friend of our common humanity, the consoler of woe and sorrow of all kinds, the protector of popular rights, and the intermediary with the Divine Father in heaven. I trust your book may serve to make the Catholic Church better known. May it confirm in their ancestral faith all good Catholics, and be the means of opening the eyes of non-Catholics to the merits and just claims of the Society that was truly founded by Jesus Christ; alone represents fully His principles and His teaching; and is therefore the only religious Society that remains the same from generation to generation.
