had to express Public regrets and now we have this outburst by Frances Russell in the free Reading her article i Felt like i had been i asked does she actually that i As a Christian am an alarming threat to society is she hinting that i should not be allowed anywhere close to where political Deci Sions Are because i am a Chris Tian furthermore i must if people who have been Given the responsible position of writing Edito rials in a respectable newspaper continue to write in such a hateful spirit towards where will that Lead the very first statement in Frances russells editorial shows a blindness to Canadian it is in the United states where there has and still a distinct separation of Church and in Canada the roman Catholic anglican Church and the United Church of Canada have All had a close relationship with the Canadian anyone who knows any Canad an history knows about the great involvement of the roman Catholic Church in it should also be remembered that Many of those who built the political movement on which the nip did so because of their Christian convict their Christian religion animated their it is not a coincidence that at least three of the Many important leaders of that movement were Christian when that party has chosen to alienate their Christian it has greatly reduced its i myself know the pressures of hav ing to meet deadlines every week of the year and at times i write or say things i later come to i Hope Frances Russell will agree with that the Day she wrote this editorial was not one of her better if she is willing to admit that i will not feel quite As threatened by her editor if she really Means what she wrote in this i will remain deeply Dis Singtho Misfeld first lutheran Church Stop attacking dedicated teachers in reply to Hymie
