INTRODUCTION.
•
The Catholic Truth Society of Ottawa was orga-
nized at a meeting called by circular for that pur-
pose in the Catholic Lyceum on November 8th, 1891.
The objects of the Society are identical with those
of the parent Society in England and are thus sum-
marised in the constitution : —
1. To disseminate among Catholics small and
cheap devotional works.
2. To assist the uneducated poor to a better know-
ledge of their religion.
3. To spread among Protestants information about
Catholic Truth.
4* To promote the circulation of good, cheap and
popular Catholic Books.
These objects will be found amplified in the inau-
gural address of the President, Sir John Thompson,
printed elsewere in this pamphlet.
The first step towards the organization of a Branch
ot the Catholic Truth Society in Ottawa was the
reading of a paper on the subject (printed in this
pamphlet) by Mr. J. A. J. McKenna, at the quarterly
meeting of the St. Vincent de Paul Society, held on
the 12th April, 1891. His Grace the Archbishop of
Ottawa, at the conclusion of Mr. McKenna's paper,
warmly commended the work of Catholic Truth
Societies, and made a very generous offer of finnn-
cial assistance to any effort which might be made
towards carrying on such a w^ork in Ottawa. As a
result of the reading of the paper and of the Archbi-
shop's words the subject was taken up by the Par-
ticular Council of the St. Vincent de Paul Society
and a committee, consisting of Messrs. John Gorman,
E. L Sanders and W. L. Scotf, appointed with ins-
tructions to take whatever steps might be necessary
to bring about the organization of the proposed
Society.
The committee after working up the subject in
various ways, called the meeting of November 8th
already referred to, at which a constitution was adop-
ted and officers elected. It was subsequently dtcided
by the Committee thus elected to hold a series ol
free public entertainments at which, in addition to an
attractive musical programme, papers bearing on the
work of the Society should be read.
The first of these meetings was held in the hall of
the Catholic Lyceum on December 17th, 1891, and
•was very successful, about four hundred persons — all
that the hall could accommodate — being present. The
programme was made up of the President's address
L ready referred to, a paper by Mr. Joseph Pope,
which has since been published as Number 2 of the
Society's pamphlets, and five excellent musical num-
bers. At the close of the evening the meeting was
addressed by His Grace the Archbishop of Ottawa,
who eulogised the work of the Society and exhorted
all present to become members.
The annual subscription to the society is one dollar
and ten dollars entitles to life membership. Forms
of application for membership can be had from the
Secretary on application, but it is not necessary that
applications should be on printed forms. Any lady
or gentleman sending her or his name and address
and one dollar to the Secretary will be elected a
member of the Society.
The Society is affiliated with both the Catholic
Truth Society of England, and the American Society
d
of the same name of St. Paul, and members are enti-
tled to all the spiritual advantages enjoyed by mem-
bers of either of these societies, including indulgences
granted by the Holy See. Members are also entitled
to one copy each of all publications of the Society, to
any special rates on books or other publications that
the Society may secure and to such other advantages
as it may be able to offer in the future.
A price list of publications kept in Stock will be
found at the end of this pamphlet.

A NEOLECTED FIELD.
By Mr. J. A. J. McKenna.
Read before the quarterly iiKetiiig ol llie St. N'incent de I'aui .Society
on the 1 2th April 1891.
That no good work is foreign to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul is one of its axioms. Its founder
never contemplated its becoming a mere doler out of
alms — an institution for the relief of only corporal
necessities. At the very first meeting of the eight
young men whom Ozanani gathered together
to begin the work of our Society, Mr. Bailly, their
mentor, who acted as President, declared that if the
work was to be really efficacious, it would have to
be made " a medium of moral assistance." And the
circulars of the Presidents-General, which embody
the spirit of our institute, teem with references to the
desirability, nay the necessity, of distributing sound
literature among the poor. " Do we do enough,"
asked President-General Baudon in 1849, " do we do
enough for the religious instruction of the poor."
6
" The poor," said he, " are much more in need of
truth, of the words that come from God's mouth,
than of bread ai I clothing." The men who sowed
and watered th 3 seed from which has sprung the
great tree of which we are a branch were so impres-
sed with the necessity of putting in the way of the
people sound, cheap reading matter that they under-
took the publication of a series of llluslraled Short
Readings on instructive and amusing secular, as
well as religious subjects, which were sold at a very
low ligure to those who could buy, and, no doubt,
were given gratis to those who could not spare even
a penny. Libraries too were established ; and the
Brothers were urged to purvey for the minds and
the hearts, as well as the stomachs of those whom
they visited.
Now let me ask, in the words of Mr. Baudon,
* Do we do enough for the religious instruction of the
poor ? " Looking backward, have we not lapsed in
this regard ? For remember, that our charter brethren
in addition to making the religious instruction of
their proteges a leading feature of their work, devised
and successfully carried out a scheme for putting
within the reach of the masses an instructive, edifv-
ing and low priced literature. Of a surety, the need
of liberally supplying wholesome mental food has
not vanished with the march of time. Every day
the number who can read increases ; every day the
taste for reading becomes more general. The pro-
ducts of the press enter the homes of the poorest
among us. All sorts and conditions ol men read ;
and the printed page has become, especially in our
own time and country, the most potent of human
agencies for good or evil. Yet our conferences
expend their energies almost wholly in catering to the
mattM'ial rcquiromoits of the vory poor, seemingly
l(.rgottin{j' that " man liveih not by bread alone," and
oblivious of the example set by Ozanam and his
aMSOciates. '
" But what can we do ? ", you will ask. Under-
take, I would suggest, the work of disseminating
the pul)lication8 of the 'Jatholic Truth Society.
Like our own institute, the Catholic Truth Society,
which was organized some years ago, was brought
into being by a lew men, " who," one of its honorary
Secretaries tells us, " were almost entirely unknown
outside of their own small ciicle." They saw the
crying necessity of bringing within the reach of the
masses popular expositions < f (Catholic faith and other
works permeated with a true Catholic tone, they
determined to make an effort to supply the want, and
they have met with marvellous success. They have
brought out a host of penny publications — biographies
of the saints and others whose lives are a light to the
feet of th^ir fellows ; articles on matters of faith which
enable those who read to give a reason for their belief
to Protestants and sceptics ; short stories for the
young; compilations of selected poetry ; short trea-
tises on devotional subjects, and brochures on scien-
tific topics which show forth the fallacies of some
who set themselves up as teachers. Ttiey offer for
sale, at prices ranging from a half-penny to a shilling!
'a series of books and booklets on a variety of subjects.
An excellent little life of our patron is sold for a
penny ; and Cardinal Newman's classical lectures
on " The Present Position of Catholics in England "
have been reproduced separately and offered to the
public at two-pence a piece. In a penny pamphlet
of twejity-eight octavo pages is published Mr B. F.
C. Costelloe's presentment of the teaching of the
8
"Church truly Catholic, to whom," as he spys, " no
thing of humanity is alien " and ' the universal
brotherhood has not been an empty name but a
world-reforming fact and law." Mr. Costelloe is in
touch with the times ; and the wide circulation of
this little work, and of his treatise on " the Mass,"
which also sells for a penny, could not but be pro-
ductive of much good. A six-penny edition in limp
cloth of the New Testament — an edition intended
rather for use than for ornament — has been issued
hy the Society. Would not the spreading abroad of
so handy an edition of the New Testament be a
most forcible reply to the charge that the Church
forbids her children to read the inspired writings ?
For we shall be judged rather by what we do than
by what we profess. They have published, too,
a great number of leaflets of spiritual reading, nou-
rishing to faith and piety ; and these are sold at six
pence, a shilling, two shillings and three shillings a
hundred. I might go on talking to you of the admi-
rable publications of the Catholic Truth Society
which, it has been my good fortune to have met
with, and naming to you others which I have not yet
seen, but I have said enough to give you a general
idea of the scope of the work which that Society has
done and is still doing.
There have been two great obstacles to the spread
of English Catholic literature : one, the high price
generally of the publications ; the other, the difficulty
in the way of obtaining them. Of course there is an
apathy among Catholics in respect to distincti-
vely Catholic literature. High class books have not
the sale they should have ; magazines like the
" Catholic World " are not as liberally supported as
they ought to be by those who have the means ; and
there is not a great demand at public libraries for
books which deal with questions from a Catholic
stand-point. But this apathy is, to my mind, of the
nature of a symptom. Remove the obstacles I have
mentioned, administer frequent doses of the cheap
publications of the Catholic Truth Society and, I
venture to say, the apathy will gradually disappear.
The first obstacle has been removed by the Catholic
Truth Society. The second, however, remains, as
far as w^e are concerned ; and some local effort should
be made to remove it. We hear a great deal in
regard to the need of a lay a postdate. Bishops and
priests have called on the laity to help in the warfare
which error wages asrainst truth. The example of
the early christians has been recalled, and we have
been asked to bear a more valiant part. Here is an
opportunity of responding to the call, for there is no
way in which laymen of good will can more effec-
tually co-operate in the w^ork of Holy Church than
by disseminating w^holesome literature. Speaking on
this subject the Bishop of Sal Ford said : " We are in
the age of the Apostolate of th'> Press. It can pene-
trate where no Catholic can enter. It can do its work
as surely for Grod as for the devil. It is an instrument
in our hands. All should take part in this aposto-
late ; here at least there is work for every one
under the patronage of the Hierarchy and richly
indulgenced by the Holy See, the Catholic Truth
Society founded by a number of priests and lay-
men is already doing good w^ork ; but the good
work ought to be multiplied through every town
and mission, not in England only, but throughout
the British Empire. It instructs, edifies, and amuses >
it educates and evangelizes Catholics and non-Catho-
lics. It will become an engine of gigantic power
10
ill the service of Grod ; if our men and women have in
them only the. hearts and v^ills to become apostles."
" Very good," you say, '• but should not such a
work be undertaken by a new organization, founded
specially for that purpose, and altogether separate
and distinct from the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul ? " I admit that the establishment in our midst
of a Catholic Truth Society — either independent or
as a branch of the parent Society in P]ngland — is
much to be desired, and I sincerely trust that the
day is not distant when we shall have in Ottawa a
society of men and v\'omen, the sole object oi which
will be the dissemination of Catholic truth ; but I
hold that, even if such an organization did exist, our
Conferences would not thereby be dispensed from
the duty — the duty, mark you — of taking a leading
part in the work. Conferences in other places have
taken a hand in the work ; and in an article entitled
" How to help the Catholic Truth Society " it is stated
that for the distribution of the publications " the
Society of St Vincent de Paul has exceptional oppor-
1 unities in the various branches of its work, especially
in the ' patronage ' work among boys. Something, I
know, has been done already in this line in Ottawa ;
but the movement had nothing of permanency in it,
and was abandoned after the first step had been
taken. A system, I submit, should be devised for
making the distribution of wholesome mental food a
prominent and permanent feature of our work, as it
certainly should be. In a Lenten pastoral on " The
Love and Service of Christ in His Poor," the Bishop
of Sal ford wrote :
" Encourage reading among the young, spread the
cheap publications of the Catholic Truth Society ,
take them in and lend them one by one, and exchange
11
those lent for others. Give cheap pictures of a
religious character for the decoration of rooms,
discourage the readinsT of anti-Catholic puhlications."
Now I will make bold to suggest that, by way of
making a beginning, the Particular Council expend,
say, $25.00 of its funds in the purchase of a selected
lot ot the publications ol the Catholic Truth Society
and divide them among the Conferences, some to be
sold at cost price to those who can buy, and others
distributed gratis to the poor visited by our Brothers.
In its very babyhood our Society went so far as to
undertake the publication, as well as the sale, of
cheap reading matter. In the summer months there
is little or nothing to be done in the way of exten-
ding material relief to the poor. Why should we
stand idle when there is so much to be done in ano-
ther direction ? Let a plan be devised and the work
be begun, so that the excellent publications of the
Catholic Truth Society may be put, not only within
the reach, but in the way of the people. " Say not,"
writes Mr. James Britten, one of the Honorary Secre-
taries of that Society, " Say not that to scatter books,
pamphlets, tracts, and leallets is waste and loss, il
you have but a grain of faith in the gospel parable
of the sower."
The soil is ready and much " good ground " awaits
the seed. Let us hasten to scatter abroad good books,
and they will bring " forth fruit, some a hundred-fold,
some sixty-fold and some thirtv-l'old." (S. Matt.
XIII— 8)
THE CATHOLIC TRUTH SOCIETY
ITS AIMS AND OBJECTS.

Di'Iivcrt'd at the fir.-l puhiic L'ntciliiinment given l)y the Society on
Decenihcr 17th, F891.
Having completed our organization, our Society
presents itself to you this evening — its first appear-
ance before the public ; and it has been allotted to
me to state to you the objects of our Association — its
aims and its purposes.
Let me tell you, first of all, whnl our Sociely is. It
is a Branch ol the " Catholic Truth Society," formed
in England some years ago, the object of which can
be most simply expressed by saying that its purpose
is to use the Press as a means ot increasing the
practice of the Catholic religion and extending a,
knowledge of what that religion really is. I have
said that this, like other Catholic Truth Societies in
various parts of the Empire, is a Branch of the Cath-
olic Truth Society formed in England. That Society
has had a most auccesslul career It has be^'n
approved by the Holy Fath«^r, and its members
receive spiritual benefits, which the members of
every Branch throughout the Empire share by the
mere fact of affiliation with the parent Society in
England. I have said that the main object of the
Society is to use the Press as a means of increasing
18
the practice of the Catholic Faith and of spreading a
knowledge of what the Catholic religion really is.
We aim to accomplish that by attending to three
subjects: — Devotion, Instruction and Controversy.
As regard Catholic devotion, it has been found in
England that the agency of the Society has been
most beneficial. It would l)e unreasonable to expect
in a city like Ottawa, a field for very much exertion
of that kind We read that in England it has been
instrumental in instructing the poor and uneducated
in the primary truths of their religion. We read
that many have been found unable to recite even
prayers which all Catholic children in communities
like this are taught. A field like that may not be
open to us, but there are objects connected with the
increase of the devotion aimed at by I he Catholic
Truth Society which wa can accomplish even in a
place like Ottawa where instruction is open to all.
For example, in connection with the spread of devo-
tion, we have the fact that the parent Society by
tens of thousands has distributed an admirable
prayer book, which costs but a penny each. Thou-
sands of copies of the New Testament are placed
within the reach of tho^e who can pay six-pence for
them. To others there is free distribution. In addi-
tion to this we have tens of thousands of tracts and
leaflets printed for distribution at missions and on
other occasions —many of these containing indul-
genced prayers and other aids to devotion. Even in
a community like this much may be done by placing
aids to devotion within the reach of all.
The second object I have mentioned is instruction.
There are in all communities, many Catholics who
are quite satisfied to know that they believe what
the Catholic Church believes and teaches. The fact
14
that all th it tho Catholic Church believes and teaches
is true, is enough for them. But one of the objects
of this Society, blessed as I have said by the Holy
Father, under the patronage in this place of His
Grace the Archbishop, is to impress upon Catholics
that in this ago they should do more. In order to the
defence of the Catholic religion, in order to put i-ts
truths before those who do not understand them, it is
necessary that Catholics should not only believe
what the Catholic Church believes and teaches, but
should be able lo give a reason for what they believe.
Every one who has considered this question knows
that the dogmas of our religion are set forth as clearly
as tlie decisions of the legal tribunals of the country.
The reasons on which they are founded can be as
easily traced as the reasons for the decisions of a Court
of Justice. When Catholics are acquainted with these
reasons they are able to defend the truth whenever
it is assailed. Therefore, one aim of the Catholic Truth
Society, by means of the publications which I have
mentioned, is to place within the reach of Catholics
themselves the simple instructions which have been
issued from the press, from time to time, upon public
questions of the day, and especially those questions
upon which the Catholic religion is assailed— to place
before them tho statements which are thus issued of
the reasons on which Catholic teachings are founded
so that each one may be able to give reasons for the
faith that is in him. We proceed upon the principle
for which there is the highest authority, that the
Catholic who is the best in formed in connection with
his religion is best grounded in the faith and most
. likely lo be zealous in the practice of it.
But even a more important point in connection with
instruction is to place before those who are not Cath-
15
olics an accurate and simple statement ol what
Catholic haliof is on the various points in connection
with which there is much doubt and uncertainty in
non-Catholic minds. What Protestants believe the
Catholic Church to be is not the Catholic Church at
all. What they generally dislike as Catholic belief
is not Catholic belief The great object of the Cath-
olic Truth Society and its branches, and the object
which this Society endeavours to take up and promote,
is to place before those who are not Catholics simple
inoffensive, plain statements of what Catholic belief
really is. I must say that nothing has attracted me
more in connection with the operations ot the Parent
Society in England than the excellent taste and per-
fect charity in which their works are prepared.
There is nothing in them to offend. They put in
the minds of Catholic readers just what the actual
facts are and they put before Protestants plain state-
ments which often make an end of controversy. The
field does not extend merely to points of Catholic
dogma and points of history, it includes questions of
science in connection with which there sometimes
appears to be contradiction to Catholic belief. From
time to time it is the duty of the Society to watch
the progress of public discussion, and w^henever
discussion is brought to bear upon any subject which
affects the Catholic religion to see that Catholic truth
is correctly stated and placed before the public eye-
This is a most important mission.
There is also the duty of attending to controversy.
I hope that no one who has been solicited to extend
patronage to our Society will be at all afraid that we
are going to put on the armour of war and rush to the
attack of our Protestant fellow-citizens. If we did
so, wo would be stepping beyond the bounds ol the
16
Catholic Truth Society's work. We engage in con-
troversy only for the purpose of defence, and for the
purpose of stating what our belief is and the grounds
for our belief, when we find that our belief, or the
grounds on which our belief rests are attacked or
misrepresented. A great deal has been done by such
societies in the way of controversy, not for the pur-
pose of attacking any man's belief, but for the purpose
of putting plaiiily before those who differ from us
what we believe and why we believe it. That
certainly can give offence to no man. While I say
that the Catholic Truth Society inculcates upon its
members great forbearance, let me not be understood
to mean that we apologize for that w^hich we believe
or that which we practise. We avow and defend our
faith and the practice of it knowing that what we
are taught will bear criticism, and deserves defence.
We shall eudeavour to get the publications of the
Society placed in depdts in Ottawa, where they will
be accessible to all at little more than the cost of
publication. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
will distribute these publications in the homes of
poor Catholics.
We ask you to help us in this undertaking, and
your presence this evening in such large numbers is
gratifying. We ask such of you as approve the
objects we have in view to give us your names for
membership Th(> fee is fixed at one dollar a year.
I beg you will not consider that a subscription. There
are many, perhaps, who will join the Society who
could give us as an annual subscription many times
that amount, but we want your names — your co-ope-
ration — your sympathy and patronage.
