Christianity
Sir,—To judge from your article on Pastor Ingelise Wagner (February 5), it would seem that the man in the street is more comfortable with the concept of a vindictive church, than with the reality of a vindicating Christianity. True Christianity should always be ready to give answers to the world’s problems, not seek to compound them. The reason Christ told us to love our neighbours, and pray for our enemies, is, I believe, precisely because so often they are one and the same. It is those who have thought the most of the next world who have done the most for this world. Pastor Wagner, it seems, is quite content to merely confine her thoughts to this. All the groups of men that stood about the cross on the day of Crucifixion represent the one great historical truth: that the world could not save itself. — Yours, etc., R. J..CORDING.
