the phrase, 'Its less-vengeful

man who, while being nailed to
the cross, said, 'Father, forgive them, for they know not

''I like what Alfred R. Pulyan says on p. 5 about Spirit.
I quote:
'''God-(Casually) And what

"'Angeló"Spirit'', Lord.
"'GodóThat again? They talk
of nothing else. Don't they

"In his letter you published on p. 18, Russell F. Jones,
Ramona, Calif., refers to Kridler-Hotema, and says:
"'I might add that the Rosicrucians with a written record of over 3,000 years have a
record of the life of Jesus

"And so have the Catholics
and so have the Christians,
but there is no reliable nor
tangible evidence to support
these written records.
"There is the story of God
and of Santa Claus, and many
other stories that are based
on fiction and imagination. A
written record of the alleged
life of any one, any object,
any thing, is not evidence as
to the existence of that one,
or that object, or that thing."
