must give up her religion for

year. Three weeks ago he told
her he hated her religion.
Last week we talked to him
and told him we did not hate
his religion but all we asked
was that she should be kept in
her church. We wanted him to
come half way. He said, I

not come half way and make
everyone happy? We have al

We can change our religions
if we make a study of some
other and come to believe sin

But just because your daugh-

change her belief. She, too, will
find this out and regret her

truths which are down deep
within us without suffering.

Near Tsinan, officials said, a
