Mr.. Segal. If you accept my
proposition you can make your

We'll. Mr.. Atkinson. must say
your proposition is flattering.
You say that no later than next

But. Mr.. Atkinson. I'm think
ing: Suppose I did become a
Christian. Wouldn't I be an aw-
fully lonely man? A solitary
Christian in crowds of Gentiles!
You see. if I become a Christian I
would like to take it seriously. I
might become a Christian who
would make himself obnoxious.
You see, 1 might get up in the
most unexpected places and start
telling Gentiles it's about time
they were Christians. Maybe I'd
tell them about the Christian
way of treating Negroes and get
them down on me by saying that
the black boy is a brother, too,
end is entitled to a fair break.
I'd feel it was a Christians duty
to say these things.
Mr.. Atkinson interrupted to say
that if I got into that sort of
thing I wouldn't be talking re.
ligion 80. That would be politics.
That would be mixing religion
with politics. We don't stand for
that in our church"
Then, Mr.. Atkinson, 1 might
talk about the slums in our town.
They aren't Christian either. The
way kids are being bitten by rats
in our slums is more like a jungle
than Christianity. I might tell
them it's about time for Christ
ianity to do something about
slums. Maybe as a Christian !

Fifty-five members OF the Anti
Vivisection Society at meeting
yesterday passed resolution
urging opponents of vivisection to
withhold contributions to the Red

Henri Queuille is premier.
Figures on the popular vote
were not made available immedi-
ately by the Interior Ministry
Popular vote figures were con-
sidered, however, not so signifi-
cant as in last weeks balloting
because in the first round an alb
solute majority had been needed
to elect. This had encouraged all
groups to put forward candidates
even where they had only a slight
