Please give my commenda–
tions for the article "Why We
Proclaim a Message About

manner in which he leads up lo
why God' s government is
needed makes a profound mes–

What Our Readers Say
glad for women who are happy
as housewives. 1 only wish they
could be happy for me who
wants to be active in t he "out–
side" world, and not subject to
a man's direction.
I stil l eringe somewhere
inside when 1 see a booklet
called
The Seven Laws of Suc–
cess
and see only a picture of a
white man on the steps. What
about women and people of
color?

I'm neither leftist, isolation–
ist, nor supporter of U.S. for–
eign policy, but 1 firmly believe
lhat our false efforts to bestow
the "good Iife" upon our Latín
neighbors in the form of our
own materialism has been a
colossal exercise in promoting
human misery.

.Personal from the Editor
J

In the recent number which
arrived today l read with much
interest your art icle entit led
"Why Churches Are Divided"
and wou ld like to discuss with

In your
Plain Truth
you fin–
ished your article "Why
Churches Are Divided" by say–
ing, "Write me." 1 have longed
to do just this for sorne time,
but felt it an imposition when
there are so many more impor–
tant things that need your
attention. However, now the
invitation has been given, l'm
doing just that ...

For the very first time 1 have

time, l am experiencing an
inner peace that 1 honestly feel
that 1 have been seeking all my
life and it has taken me 35
years to find i

What a pity. I had nol

Much bloodletting in l reland
is largely due to t he machina–
tions, whims and fancies of
people outside of Great Britain.
lt
is now a truism that millions
of doiJars are funneled into Jre–
land simpiy to perpetuate and
escalate hostilities between
Protestants and Catholics.
There is hardly any evidence to
show that money is spent to
cultivate peace and harmony.

Were it not for the economic
inequality between Protestant
and Cathol ic there might well be
no stri fe today. T his undoubted–
ly had its roots in the religious
ditferences, but the failure of
the majority Protestant popula–
tion to allow the minority Catho–
lics to do little else but menial
laboring type work has created
the current un res

Paisley has his troops and the
IRA has theirs and both are
spoiling for a fight. The only
kind of intervention that will
bring about a peaceful resolu–
tion is Divine intervention. See–
ing the long record of mas–
sacres set upon the Celts by the
English 1 don't see their inter–
vention as being divine.
