God watches us during the day. But we must say our prayers to keep Him near us all the time. If we do not pray, we shall not get His help to keep from sin.

   MORNING PRAYERS

Johnny gets out of bed. Should he or shouldn't he say his prayers? (Draw Fig. 1.) A big fat devil is hovering near his bed and watching to see if he forgets. The filthy devil wants him to hate God. "You're too tired to say your prayers this morning," he says to Johnny. "Let them go."
No. Johnny hates the devil and loves God. He'll please God rather than the devil, and so he kneels down and says his prayers. The devil is en­raged and rushes out of the room. We should never do what the devil wishes us to do.
"Jesus, help me to be good today and keep me from all sin."

The clock has just struck eight, and Johnny is getting to bed on time. (Draw Fig. 2, omitting for the present angel and devil.) He has played hard all day and is tired, but he remembers that his guardian angel and a devil are in the room with him, waiting to stand guard over him during the night. (Draw angel and devil.) Up in heaven God too is watching him. If Johnny says his prayers, God will be pleased and the angel will stand guard. If he fails to do so, the devil will win and be glad. But Johnny loves God and his guardian angel, and he hates the filthy devil; so he kneels down, thanks God for all He has done, begs pardon for all his sins, and jumps into bed.
"Jesus, I thank you for all you did for me today.   Forgive me for all my sins."

                                                                                HOLY

The Catholic Church can truly be said to be the holiest of all churches. When we say that it is Holy, we mean: (1) that its founder, Jesus Christ, is holy (Draw Church -with name of founder);

(2) that it teaches a holy doctrine and invites all to a holy life (Draw preacher in pulpit);

(3) that so many thousands of its members have become saints (Draw line of saints).

No Protestant church could ever  claim all these things for itself.  For  example, which one of the Protestant-church founders can be compared to Christ?    Were any of  them  really holy men?   What Protestant church teaches a really holy doctrine?   And finally, who ever heard of a Protestant saint?

SECOND the Church of Christ must be

                                                                                APOSTOLIC

No church except the Catholic Church is Apostolic. When we say that it is Apostolic, we mean that it goes all the way back to Christ and the Apostles. Christ gave Peter charge of His Church, and from that day to this there has been an unbroken line of Popes, who have ruled the Catholic Church as the visible successors of Peter and who represent Christ.   (Draw a line of Popes.)

No Protestant church claims to go back to the time of Christ. Most of these churches started directly or indirectly from Martin Luther in 1517 —but Christ's Church was existing long before that time. So if we are looking for the Church of Christ, we had better not waste time with present-day Protestant churches, which do not go back to Christ.

THIRD the Church   of Christ must be

                                                                                ONE

No church but the Catholic Church is ONE. When we say that it is One, we mean: (1) that it has one faith (i. e, one doctrine)—the entire doctrine or teaching of Christ (Draw cross with words); (2) that all its members all over the world are bound together as ONE BODY (Draw people and their words) ; (3 ) that all these Catholics are governed in spiritual matters by one visible head—the Pope (Draw Pope).

The Protestant churches even among themselves never agree on the same teaching. What one says, the other denies. This leads them into many divisions; and because one part will not do as another part does, they have no one to rule them. Surely if these were right, Christ could hardly allow them to go to pieces like that.

FOURTH the Church of Christ must be

                                                                                UNIVERSAL

No church but the Catholic Church is Universal. When we say that it is Universal, we mean that as one united Church it has always existed, is to be found teaching all nations of the world, and contains all truth.

No Protestant church will ever be spread over the whole world as the Catholic Church is, because all these Protestant churches have too many divisions among their own people; they are not united like the Catholics, and they do not contain all the truths that Christ taught.

You see then that the Church which Christ wishes all to join in order to save their souls is the HOLY Church which he founded; the APOSTOLIC Church which goes back to the time of Christ; the UNITED Church which teaches all His doctrine; the UNIVERSAL Church which is spread over the entire earth.

AND THAT CHURCH IS THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.
