Preface

This " Compendium " has been prepared to serve as a help in the study of Church History, and is designed as a text-book for the classes of our Catholic schools. With this purpose in view, the compilers have endeavored to compress within the limits of a single volume the essentials of " Leading Events in Church History," written for children by the Sisters of Notre Dame in England.

The matter selected has been arranged in the form of notes, as a help to both teachers and pupils. To teachers the headings will suggest topics for development, while the bolder type will assist the pupil's memory through the eye.

Guggenberger's History of the Christian Era and Giimartin's Church History have been consulted with great profit, and we hereby make grateful acknowledgment to the authors and publishers of these works.

Sisters of Notre Dame.

Feast of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 1910.
