The Holy Church
The Marks of the Church
If an uncle of yours, whom you had never seen, was home from Australia and you had to meet him off the train at the station, you might wonder how you were going to pick him out from the other passengers. But if you had a photograph taken of him in his early days, you would find it fairly easy. You would look at his photograph and study his features. You would see that he was tall, with thick black hair, bushy eyebrows, and a hooked nose.
