TRAGIC DESTINY
Sir-Replying to "C.R." (March 26 issue), I was for many years as a young man an earnest professing Christian. I even did. mission work in slums and preached sermons said to be eloquent, I drifted mainly because I found that my prayers-even the most unselfish-were not answered and the promises not fulfilled. I had a spell in the wilderness. Then I thought perhaps the fault was mine; and tried again. During the latter part of this second period, seventeen years of close association with the churches throughout. New Zealand did much to put me where I am today. For me, Christianity does not work. "C.R.’s" heavy artillery barrage is so much wasted ammunition. If God made me, T am as God made me.
