dfon’t know about you, Madam
iat, but I am profoundly grate-
ful that Gpd rules the universe, that
He created it the way He did, and
dhat we can utterly depend on it. My
faith in God has been increased by
the events of last week — the simple
faith of three men that gave them
courage to tackle a difficult assign-
ment at the risk of their livSe, the
dependability of the universe, and
the sure 9hd certain feeling that I
have that God hears our prayers. My
faith was also increased as I celebrat-
ed with my family the birth of a baby
In Bethlehem, Jesus Christ, my Savior
and my Lord, I am sorry that you
don’t look at things the way I do be-
cause if you did I feel sure you would
have been proud of last week’s events
rather than finding in them only
something to murmur and complain
about.
■ You have said, Madam Atheist,
that you are the world’s most hated
person. Maybe that is true, because
I have some difficulty myself trying
to love you very much, but as I said
earlier, I know God. loves you, and so
I must try to do it, too. Since you
don't believe in God I couldn’t wish
you a Merry Christmas, but I do wish
for you a Happy New Year. I pray
that- you will find in 1969 a faith in'
something bigger than yourself. If
you do you. will have a happy new
year. I wish I could 'see you in church
Sunday, but certainly some of my be-
lieving friends will join me in the
worship and praise of God.
