A student doing graduate work at the University of Paris.

"To me a Christian is either a man who lives in Christ or a phony. You Christians do not appreciate that it is on this-the almost external testimony that it is of God-that we judge you. You ought to radiate Christ. Your faith ought to tflow out to us like a river of life. You ought to infect us with a loe for him. It is then tha tGod who was impossible becomes possible for the atheist and for those of us whose faith is wavering. We cannot help being struck, upset, and confused by a Christian who is truly Christlike. And we do not forgive him when he fails to be."

Cardinal Emmanuel Suhard wrote in 1947-
"The great mark of a Christian is what no other characteristic can replace, namely the example of a life which can only be explained in terms of God"
