Sir,-The remarks attributed to Professor Oliphant in the condensed transcript of "Atomic Dilemma" (June 18) may have lost something in being transcribed and condensed. "Great religions all teach morality in its. widest sense, but not one of them has yet prevented war." May I suggest that the greatest of these religions, that of Christ, has never yet been tried? Christianity cannot and will not be successful in preventing wars-that is. in changing the world, until each individual allows it to change his or her own personal life. Moreover, God will not help those who help themselves when they seek’ that help outside of His supreme laws. Lean Chandler's remarks about criticism of.the Church are perfectly true. But the Church is made up of humans,
and is imperfect, whereasgth@uteligion of Christianity is made up of Christ, indeed, is Christ, the. perfect one. The panel could not find a solution. Might I suggest that they by-passed the way that leads to peace and security for all
men?
