Sir,-Ethel Dackers appears to condemn Christians for taking an interest in political and social matters. Why, then, are we bidden to pray for our daily bread (i.e., material needs), and also that God’s will may be done on earth as in heaven?. Man certainly does
not live by bread alone, but he has natural as well as spiritual needs. Regarding her advice to search the Scriptures, the Bible itself testifies that it was written, not to make people Christians, but to confirm the teaching already received by those who share in the corporate life of the Church (St.
Luke, 1, 4).
