This tract is nothing special, but it is short. Published by Grace & Truth, it is only two pages, back-to-back. The title alone takes up a quarter of the allotted space.
The second quarter is devoted to those titular seven things: going to church, being baptized, keeping the commandments, performing religious duties, doing good works, going to confession and having good morals. The rest of the tract tells us the usual Jesus-is-the-only-way message.
While boring and trite, this tract saves on paper while simultaneously saving readers precious time. We have nothing new to say, the tract tells us, but at least we say it quickly. And less paper means it is better for the environment, too. I only have to crumple up half as much before tossing it in a blue bin.

Although you put a "0" at offensive content, it might offend some Catholics-as it is clearly aimed at them-who have never come across any anti-Catholic tracts.
Interesting point. I must admit it never occurred to me that Christians themselves might find these things offensive. You are right, and thanks for setting me straight on this.
