THE TRINITY CHURCH CATECHISM.

CHAPTER I.

INTRODUCTORY: CREATOR AND CREATURE.

Q. Who made you?
A. God made me.

Q. In how many parts did God make you ?* A. God made me in two parts, body and soul.

Q. Are these two parts distinct?

A. Yes; the body dies and rises again, but the soul never dies.

Q. Why did God make you

u?

A. To know, to love, and to serve Him in this life, and to be happy with Him forever in the next.

Q. Can you, in your own strength alone, either know, or love, or serve God?

A. No; I can do nothing without God's help. Q. How does God help you?

A. By giving me Faith, Hope, and Charity.

*It is not here a question of the tripartite divisi n of human nature, as made by S. Paul, 1 Thess. v. 23, but of the anti-materialistic doctrine of Gen. ii. 7.
