til uhat.? Don't ymi realize
for satikfuctory humun relutionships
that has even been devised. By "fairy
tales" you evidently me:*-! the mir-
acles; perhaps you have not heard
that many of these miracles have
been explained by natural means and
■that they no longer are mysteries.
The opening of the Bed Sea at a
'racial moment for the Israelites was
or centuries called a miracje. Scient-
ists in recent years haveTliscovered
that heavy cross currents of wind of-
ten drive back the waters in narrow
places leaving a path through the
Slia. ; '■ ' ' '! ' :: v
When this happened to the Israel-
ites in their moment of dire need,
they in their Inability to explain it by
their limited scientific knowledge
called it a miracle, If one of the mir-
acles could be explained thus, why
could not more of them have an
equally plausible scientific explana-
tion?
Actually, whether you believe in
the miracles or not should have no
bearing on your basic Christian be-
liefs. The miracles comprise only a
small part of the Bible.
YOU SEKM unwilling to ascribe the
presence', of a sun irt the sky to
a Cod, yet you grant that it was put
there by1 u vast and powerful force
which created the universe. Why not
call this force Gid? , ; '

FIE STOKV'm of Adam and S?e in
the liiblM's not to be taken too
literally; the primitive stage of cul-
ture which existed at the time when
the Bible was written was best taught
>y concrete example, hence, the story
if tile apple and the snake.
I believe in the Laplacian theory
of the origin of the earth and in the
gradual evolution of man from Wore
primitive creatures during the ages—
these are scientifically substantiated
facts, but I also believe in the ex-
istence of a God who created the
sua und the primitive creatures from
which our modern world has evolved.
You suy that every human on this
earth is u mere speck in eternity and
His existence makes no difference,
Would your relatives and friends
agree that you make no difference
to them ?
Surely someone would mourii if
you were tu die today and so it is
with all of us. I cannot argue the
question of eternity with, you to any
advantage; anything 1 should say
would be to h i avail , with you any-
way.
U SAY that what. Hitler has
done to the Jews and to C4j 'ehi>-
Slovakia, what Italy hasidmie tt> Eth-
iopia, what Japan is doing to China
has no bearing on your - ,life---you;
just don't care what happens to any-
one else.
Eyidentiy you have very little hu-
manitarianisin, for there are few peo-!
pie who can see a newsreel of the'
war in China without being indignant I
at the Japanese. Perhaps If iapan
carries oift its imperialistic program
and looks with greedy eyes toward
the United1 States, you will feel dif-
ferently.
You want to get rid of everybody
who is riot happy. Suppose your
mother suddenly died-,-would you be
hapi>y1 Your answer is, .of ^ours'e,
"iid"|; then 'According to your plan
you should be removed from the eai'th

COIilamiiiate the happy people. I'jil
afraid that if yo.u killed off every-
body who is not always happy, the
only people left in the world,would
be idiots and imbe.i'ilesWho baveh't

YOU evidently rcondone Hitler's: ac-
tion against: the Jews ,as: being
good si nee it does not interfere with
you, I hope you are one of Very fe\v
peojile who feel like that.

son for living," then I must say that
I am extremely sostfP^fur you.
