LETTERS
Thanks for support
To the editor:
We wish to express our
heartfelt appreciation to the
people of Morrow County for
their support of our ministry
with the Lexington Christian
Church. Our God is a God of
love and forgiveness and it is
our earnest desire that peace
and compassion prevail as we
leave the church. We wish
good will to the church and
community. If we have of
fended any person we ask that
they come to us that we might
make it right.
Although we will no longer
be meeting at 160 B Street in
In response
To the editor:
In response to the recent
Hermiston Herald editorial
condemning me for caring
about the Rajneesh situation.
The Herald flatly stated there
is nothing a politician can do
to help those being harrassed .
by the Rajneesh or to limit
Rajneesh power. The editorial
defended Congressman Bob
Smith's complete lack of inte
rest or action by claiming that
he is "not in a position to do
anything about what is essen
tially a local and state prob
lem." I respect Senator Mark
Hatfield for taking a leader
ship position on this issue and
conducting an investigation of
Guru Bhagwan Shree Raj
neesh s activities. At least one
federal officeholder who rep
resents the Second Congres
sional District has taken a
responsible attitude toward
his constituents.
Even though I am not yet in
Congress. I personally have
been able to take meaningful
and constructive action to
limit Rajneesh political
power. I prevented Rajneesh
from gaining influence within
the Democratic National

EDITOR
Lexington, we look forward to
continuing our outreach with
the youth in our new ministry.
The Lord is leading us to
expand our outreach into
Eastern Oregon so that none
would perish without hearing
the good news of salvation and
eternal life through repen
tance and commitment to
Jesus Christ as Lord and
Savior.
May the truth of the real
purpose of Christmas reach
every heart this year.
Sincerely.
The Rev. Stuart Dick
and family
Committee by:
1 Investigating the Raj
neesh to make sure I had my
facts straight.
2) Reporting the possibility
of political blackmail to the
Democratic National Com
mittee, and
(3) Following up on my
recommendations and insur
ing that they became D.N.C.
policy.
If Congressman Bob Smith
took a similar interest in the
welfare of the citizens of the
Second Congressional Dis
trict, the Rajneesh situation
would be less threatening to
the long-time residents of this
area.
I thought it was time some
body took action to block the
growth of Rajneesh political
and economic power. I did it.
I'm proud of it. And. I'll
continue to do it until the
Rajneesh either leave Oregon
or learn to live in harmony
with their neighbors.
