Ought I to Join the Church of Rome? Anti-Catholic Tract from Protestant Truth

Description

This 4 ¾” x 7 ¼” twelve-page booklet was published in the late 1930’s by the Wickliffe Press for the Protestant Truth Society of London. Titled
Ought I to Join the Church of Rome,
it makes a number of anti-Catholic statements and claims the failure of Catholicism in Italy. Written by Walter H. Denbow, M. R. S. T., its cover is in light yellow wraps.  Very mild soiling to cover, but otherwise in very good condition with stapled binding and clean pages. This is one of several anti-Catholic pamphlets and brochures that I am putting up for sale from a lot that I recently purchased. They all date from the late 1930’s, and reflect strong anti-Catholic criticism and bias. The Protestant Truth Society was founded in 1889 by John Kensit, who feared the growing influence of Roman Catholicism both within the church as well as the nation itself. In 1898 the Society appointed the first group of Wickliffe Preachers whose purpose was to spread the gospel and defend the faith. It then established in 1905 the Kensit Memorial Bible College to train these preachers. Its philosophy is that “Romanism is still at variance with the gospel, but so are false religion, irreligion, atheism and all those philosophies and ideologies which set themselves against the truth as it is in Jesus, and enslave the hearts and minds of men and women.” I will combine postage on these pamphlets.
