ln talking the othe day to Mrs. Ora Glass, a pro
minent member of St. Benedict’s Colored Catholic Church
the question was asked, “How did you become a Catholic?”
Mrs. Glass immediatly began 'by telling of her childish
tears oi al1 Nuns and Preists, brought on by the many
weird and fanciful tales, told her from babyhood, by re
latives and friends. j
Sue was taught to believe t-hat these religious per- *
sons would swoop down upon her and in the long and j
heavy folds of their habits, conceal, and carry her away
to some aark cedar or dungeon, and there torture her
(for no apparent reason).
According to God’s own plan, this little girl grew to
intehigent and uselful womanhood. She began to curb
her terrible fears, and restrain herself from running away
to hide, the moment she saw'a gcjod Sister od a Priest ap
proaching. Shyly, at first, she began noticing the kind]y |
expression on each of their (flacojs; she saw much
beauty and sincerety of their friendly smile1, and this
question arose in her mind, “Can these people be gui*ty of
such crimes?” Aroused by a haunting wonder, if she
id not been led to believe malcious tails, all those long
years and by a natural sense of curiosity, she at last
mustered suffeient courage to enter a Caholic Church;
early one Sunday morning, in Los Augeles, Cal
fornia.
Here you get a picture of this timid littfe lady of
the colored race, entering a large church far from
own people and friends that was conviently located close
to the people for whom she acted as a maid. With heart
pounding from an only half-smothered fear, she at last crossed the
threshold, and glides quickly into a vacant pew, in the rear.
Her eyes are opened wide with astonishment at the most gracious
beauty of the house in which God dwells-..She listens, ectacy shining from
her intelligent face, to the beautiful music that seemed to fill the very air j
Khe breathes.She was more than impressed with the So Dignity of the I
Muss, and the devout attitude of the kneeling throng about her.
And when the Priest entered the pulpit, and read a familiar text
from the Bible—one that she had often read—and preached a wonderful
sermon that she could near and understand, two, old reliable thories were
exploed at once (she had been taught that the Catholics never used a
Bible and that everything they did or said was unexplainable and
a secret-), but as she listener to these thing , and occacionally looked about
her, again she questioned herself. “WHY ARE THESE PEOPLE HERE?”
s’*“HAVE THEY BEEN CAUGHT UP. IN THE FOLDS OF SOME NUN’S
HABIT AND SPIRITED AWAY TO A DARK DUNGEON AND THERE
TORTURED TO THE POINT OF DEATH, BEFORE CONSENTING TO
BECOME A MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH?”.. If so she concluded, their
appearances are very decieving.
Mrs- Glass left that church amuch wiser and more determined
young woman-_It became her habit to attend Mass there each Sunday
morning-_She bradnally adapted the customs of the Catholics, by blessing
herself with water from the front, on entering the church; by genuflieting;
and following the prayers at Mass until she was thought to be a member of
that parish-_For three years, she watched and mingled with the congre
gation was fvorably impressed with all she heard and saw._Never the
slightest oeccurance to bring to her mind any of the old fears, that had so
hampered her youth- >
At last fully decuded to become a real Catholic, she approached the
. pastor of tht parish, Father Phillips, and asked to be instructed- He
willingly began the task; nd after a period of several months, she was
"baptised, and received Communion, and Confirmation, more then 20

darker races. They must be taught that the rays of sun
