Excerpt from The Mass in the Infant Church

The aim of this treatise on The Mass in the Infant Church is not a one-sided defence of any thesis, nor an equally one-sided attack (5: any other. The writer has tried not to bring a decided judgment to his task; he has endeavoured not to read into early writers his own concepts, but, hearkening to all the witnesses, listening to investigators on both sides, leav ing aside opinions heard outside the court, to draw his conclusion after a full examination of the evidence. Whether he has discharged the duty of a faithful nar rator, whether he has given all the facts as he claims to have done, whether he has suppressed anything that might tell against his own interests, of this the reader is the judge.

TO some it may seem a bold programme, or even a rash undertaking, to search for the Mass in the infant Church. But the inquiry is worth the effort. For the Protestant it is a momentous question whether the Mass existed in the early Church. For the Catholic it is not less important.
