TRAGIC DESTINY
Sir,-If J. Malton Murray is a real person he shows amazing-in fact quite unbelievable-knowledge of the thought processes of Abraham and other people who lived three and four thousand years ago, But his letter of April 2 also informs us that he himself does not exist. For (he tells us), because all deities are "mental conceptions" they do not exist. Mr, Murray is certainly an idea in my mind-therefore . . . Well, this argument at least lets even people who cannot check up his theories about Abraham and the Bible with modern scholars, know how seriously to take any letter signed "J, Malton Murray."
