Dear Mr.. East:
Recently I got around to read
ing your views on religion. Man,
you're a better Christian and
"religionist" than most regular
church goers. While you claim to
be too weak to practice the
teachings of Christ, you are in
fact practicing enough of his
teachings that I am sure Christ
would approve of your actions,
deeds and beliefs.
/ believe, as you do, that it is
not necessary to go to a House
of Worship to believe in God. AS
man of science, I believe there
must be a God. Who but God
could have designed Homo Sa-
piens, all the animals, the beauti-
full flowers, birds, with their
colorful attire and wonderful
songs, the stars in the skies and
their orderly rules etc, etc? You
and I, and probably millions of
others acknowledge these as
deeds of God-and we don't have
to go to Church every Sunday,
Saturday, Friday or any other
day to marvel at the wonders of
God all around us.
1t is more important to do good
for others, to be kind and decent,
to fight for the rights of all peo-
pie than it is to be a do-nothing
church goer who attends because
he wants to be seen, or because it
is the stylish thing to do. You,
at the very least, are practicing
very good religion in the way
you know best and you are doing
it without being prejudiced as
to another mans religion - or
color.
We need more honest soul
searching individuals like you
with the courage of their con-
victions. Keep up the good work!

Dear Sir:
I have read your editorial in
the July 9th issue and as a con-
sequence wish you would destroy
my stencil and cancel my sub
scription.
Had I any idea that my $500
would help finance the promul-
cation of such views as express
ed in your editorial I would GER
tainly not have sent it. I got the
impression from your interview
with Paul Coates that the mort
bund if, not defunct condition of
your paper was the result of your
championing the cause of the
underdog, but as you say you
have expressed some of these
same sentiments previously, ]
am beginning to wonder!
