POINTS FROM LETTERS
KOWAI (North Canterbury) says that those who ask "why there are so few women ministers in the Church" should read the Second Chapter of the First Epistle to Timothy. NANCY PARSONS (Wellington) suggests that the broadcasting of the whole of Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony was a convincing answer to those who say that "most people are incapable of attention for more than minutes." (And also, she adds, to the fears of those, including herself, who dread intellectual snobbery.) "SPRING OFFENSIVE" (Mount Eden) says: "With all due respect to) Eric Bell, who is undoubtedly a fide pianist, I find only one word can adequately describe his foxtrot renditions, and that is ‘corn.’ His playing of a solo foxtrot reminds me of a musical box playing duets with a tuba. I think the novachord deserves different treatment." ‘
