Editor Chas. c. Moore:
have had the pleasure, or it may be
a misfortune, to see several copies OF
your paper the BLUE GRASS BLADE. My
son Will Edds is, unfortunately, sub
scriber. You say that you are an inf
del, and you have intimated that there is
no God, and that the Christian religion
is farce. Now have one question to
ask you, if there is nothing in the Chris
tian religion, why do you fight it so hard
/ want you to answer me yes or no, and
not beat about the bush. Respt.
