Second Creation
To the Editor: As I read
the different opinions of men
on the words "created eqal,"
all men born from the see
on the words "created equal,"
Some things I have said be
fore and now I'll add a little
more.
I did not know that I did
not know anything when I
was born until someone told
me that.
I did not know there was
a God who gave His Son for
the world He loved (John
3:16) until someone told me
thai.
1 did not know 0 was 0
until someone told me that.
I did not know there is
no place in the Bible where
the word "cat" can be found,
the smartest animal born on
earth, and the man Moses
next, who wrote the first
book of Genesis, until some
one told me that.'
And to the man that wants
proof from the King James
Bible, there is a first and
second creation; the first,
Genesis chapt. 1 V 26 to 28,
Who Are the Egyptians, Acts
Chapt. 7 V 21:22. The second
creation, Genesis chapt. 2 V
7, God had no help when
he formed man. Cain was the
first born from the second
creation (Genesis chapt. 4-11)
end Cain's wife was from the
Egyptians (Genesis chapt. 4-17).
There were no daughters
born to the Second Creation
until after Isiah was born,
(Genesis chapt. 5v4). If there
was anyone born from the
second creation more dumb
or with more wisdom than I,
no one has told me yet.

To the Editor: Just can't let
you get away with your far.
to-the-left Editorial, "Boy.
cotts" of 1763. Patriotic folks
all over America are up in
arms over the flood of Com
munist slave labor merchan
dise now pouring into Ameri
can markets, for the following
reasons:
1. Every U. S. dollar spent
on these goods strengthens the
tyrannical power of the Com
munist bosses over their en
slaved laborers. It does not
Improve one iota the inhuman
living standards set by their
slavemasters for the workers
who produced these goods.
This utterly inhumane situa
tion alone should stop us from
buying such merchandise.
2. Prices of slave labor
goods are not determined by
economic laws, but by polit
ical purposes of the Commu
nists. Therefore Americ a n
factories have already been
put out of business, others
are slowly being squeezed
out, and many, many others
are curtailing production.
Thousands of Americans are
being thrown out of jobs by
something far more vicious
than just unfair and dirty
competition. Compet itive
efficiency cannot meet this
threat. For no matter how low
American prices are cut, the
Slave labor bosses can and will
cut under them.
You say that last year we
exported goods worth $122.4
million to Soviet Bloc coun
tries while importing only
$84.6 million from them. That
sounds wonderful till you
learn that the bulk of our ex
ports was In the form of
foreign aid paid for by the
American tax payer. Don't
you realize those Polish hams
the Reds are selling us so
cheap were grown on grain
we GAVE to Poland? Why
do you resent the conserva
1 1 v e American "pressure
groups" who are fighting for
their economic lives by stop
ping the sale of this merchan
dise? Why don't you resent
the pressure of our state de
partment to promote their
sale, in order to help its Com
munist friends?
Thank God there is a revul
sion sweeping over America
among our retailers against
selling our country down the
river just to make a "fast
buck," Merchants, large and
small, are cleaning Commu
nist merchandise off their
shelves and not reordering.
For they are beginning to
realize that American dollars
paid into Communist pockets
for slave labor goods could
eventually wreck the Amer
ican free enterprise System,
while building up the strength
of our deadly mortal enemy:
furthermore, that these dol
lars may come back to us
with interest some day in the
form of bullets, bombs, or
missiles. Your pro-American
merchant won t have merch
andise on his shelves labeled
as being from Poland, Yugo
slavia, Hungary. Czechoslo
vakia, East Germany, etc.

More About Nutrition
To the Editor: This is an
answer to Miss Stratton (MT
12-31-62). Your ideas about
nutrition agree perfectly with
what the food processors and j
their advertisers say on TV, i
radio, and in the press. The :
science of nutrition has made
great advances since 1920,
but the new knowledge has
not been widely disseminated
because of the opposition of
those who profit by the status
quo.
Two theories concerning
the origin of life are held by
scientists - biogenesis, the
doctrine that life generates
only from life, and abiogen
esis or spontaneous genera
tion. Scientists through exhaust
ive food study have found and
recognized four classes ol
substances absolutely neces
sary to life and health. Of
these, minerals were first
known. One source of
these is from soil through
plants. Some, as copper, co
balt, etc., are very scarce in
the soil. We call them trace
minerals. In minute amounts
they are indispensable in nu
trition. When they are lack
ing in the soil, plants grown
In that Soil are deficient in
nutritive value and frequent
ly exhibit signs of ill health.
Vitamins was the next
group to become known.
When it became possible to
reproduce their chemical
structure cynthetically, their
use became a racket but has
not prevented the fearful in
crease of degenerativ diseases.
Next to become known
were the amino acids, the
building blocks of protein, 31
in number. Of these 10 must
be in our food if life is to be
maintained. All are valuable
in nutrition.
Last to become known are
the enzymes. Very little is
known about them. However,
researchers suspect that they
may be more important than
vitamins are. See "Enzymes:
Medicine's Bright Hope," in
The Reader's Digest, June
1960 or 61. Enzymes are live
substances whose destruction
by heat begins at 120 degrees.
In a natural food these all
occur tied in together and
so help each other maintain
health. Such foods are live
foods. Foods that have been
processed - and cooking is
a form of processing - are
dead foods, hence cannot
maintain the health and life
to as great a degree and for
as long a period as can live
foods. For instance, herbivor
ous animals which live on
natural foods have no degen
erative diseases. Their off
spring are born strong and
healthy. Compare these with
the weak, diseased (heart le
sions, cancer, etc.) and for
physically and mentally han
dicapped offspring being born
in ever increasing numbers to
human parents.

Anything Is Possible

most open-minded staff of

True, or not true, your

No Time For Poetry?
The planet can be fractured. Mankind can be annihiliated.
In these latter days of history, is there a place for art or
chivalry? Is there no time for poetry? . . . For the health
of science, no less than the prosperity of humanity, we must
have poetry. The madness of the times has not excused us
from the burden of reading and writing and talking things
over; indeed, these are basic to everything else. Skill in
language is not only a grace; it is an essential.

O
Break, Break, Break
Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, O Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O well for the fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister at play!
O well for the sailor lad,
That he sings in his boat on the bay!
And the stately ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanished hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break,
At the foot of thy crags, O Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that is dead
Will never come back to me.

O
To Chant the Triumphal Aniiphon
Belatedly we come into our own
Full round of years of fervent, practiced prayers,
With creaking joints and many passive dreams
"When palsy shakes a few sad, last, gray hairs".
What if the fog is drifting past our eyes?
What though the memory is dull and worn?
Our wandering path goes roughly on and lies
Secure, though laid "amid the alien corn".
Hope waves a banner bearing lines of peace
Eternal words that ever lure us on
Where joyously with life's "full throated ease"
We yet shall chant the triumphal antiphon.

Some Questions
To the Editor: We arc fre
quently advised by "wise
men" to forget the past and
look to the future. In some
instances that is good advice.
But there is another side of
the coin. A well known histor
ian said, "The nation that does
not know the past cannot
wisely safeguard its future".
I believe that one reason the
world as well as our own na
tion is floundering in rough
seas today is the fact that so
many have ignored the lessons
we might have learned from
the past. For Instance, in our
dealings with Russia and
China for at least 20 years
we have acted as though their
past history and conditions
had no bearing at all on
their nature and disposition.
Are we still blundering along
in the same manner? Are we
dealing today with these na
tions and Cuba and the Congo
as if they were created last
week out of nothing?
Sixty-four years ago we
set Cuba free from Spanish
tyranny. Then, wisely, our
government kept a guiding
hand on the young nation till
they learned some lessons of
state. But four years ago Cuba
was set free of one dictator
and, with no strings attached,
turned over to another one,
worse than any thing Spain
had imagined in 1898.
In dealing with Korea we
made another mistake. Al
though most men knew that
Stalin and the Communists
could not be trusted, Presi
dent Truman invited the
Russians to walk into Korea
unopposed and take over. He
obligingly divided the terri
tory along, the 38th parallel.
The Koreans are still paying
for his mistake and no one
knows how long they will
continue to do so.
Now we know that our
young man in the White
House is not ignorant of his
tory. But how is he profiting
thereby?
Who are his advisers? Who
pulls the strings to make him
hop or skip as they see fit?
Or, to put it more kindly, who
blocks or shifts the scenery
contrary to his wishes? Are
the Wielands, Rostows, Schle
singers and their stooges run
ning the State Department in
spite of wise, true and cour
ageous men the President
should have at his right hand?
When Mr. Kennedy made
one brave, wise move in re
gard to Cuba, the free world
applauded. Now is he going
to spoil it all by a false and
foolish move in the Congo?
Already Britain, France and
Belgium, our old and trusted
allies, are asking pointed
questions. We cannot appease
a Khrushchev or a Gizenga.

Inclusive Teaching
To the Editor: Typical of
many of the "aginners" to
whom I referred 12 10 and
1223, James K. Shafer re
sponded with an array of ir
relevancies Instead of coming
to grips with my primary is
sue. Perhaps he doesn't know
what "irrelevant" means, for
he regards all of his and oth
ers' devious verbal excursions
as relevant to my discussion.
My original proposition was
that "many habitual 'aginners'
reflect the same spectrum of
phobias (nudism, chlonna
lion, fluoridation, smoking
integration, Catholics, the UN,
UN1CEF and UNESCO), and
I wondered (In print) if some
psychologist or social scientist
perhaps could explain this
phenomenon.
Mr. Shafer's and other
respondents' comments com
pletely Ignored this basic
point. That's what made their
unrelated dissertations so ob
viously irrelevant. Evidently,
being neither psychologists
nor social scientists, they
could offer no explanation.
In response to my remark
that "unbrotherly attacks up
on fellow-Christians is unseem
ly and a denial of the gospel of
love," Mr. Shafer indulged In
a further spate of lrrelevan
cics with regard to the mean
ing of brotherhood. On 1212
he said "all men are my
brothers," then appended
qualifications which
suggested the need to add
"-but" at the end of his decla
ration. Now, on 13 he practi
cally negates his profession
o f brotherhood altogether
with a long, and again irrele
vant, tirade against commu
nism (never even mentioned
in my earlier letters of this
series).
Surely, no literate person
needs to be reminded of the
nature or menace of atheistic
communism. M r. Shafer's
many references to the sub
ject were quite superflous
at least as far as this writer
is concerned. I do not wish to
clutter this valuable space
with more of the same, ex
cept to say that I am no less
opposed to communism than
is Mr. Shafer.
What I had tried to make
clear in discussing brother
hood (my only real present
concern) is that as revealed in
the life and teachings of Jesus
it is an inclusive, never an
exclusive or limited, thing.
In the interest of space, I
cite again Luke 6:27-38 and
would add Matt. 7:12, Luke
10:30-37, Rom. 14:10, and
First John 2:8-11, 3:10-18 and
4:20-21. Interested readers
may wish to look these up.
Perhaps most pertinent among
these references are Jesus in
junction to love our enemies
and not to judge, that we may
avoid being judged; and
John's warning that "he who
says he is in the light and
hates his brother is in the
darkness still." Finis.
