DEDICATED TO TRAINING YOUNG MEN AND WOMEN FOR FULL-TIME CHRISTIAN SERVICE
CAT BURNING
Sirs: I can’t resist expressing my horror on reading in the June issue ( People’s column) about the college students from an evangelical denominational Christian college who tortured a poor, dumb animal, a cat, just for a prank and sport. Such frolic would be most repulsive if it came from a secular college, let alone a Christian college. Rickreall, Ore. Mrs. Katherine Babcock Sirs: I am satisfied that this sincere young man is most sorry and repent ant for his cruel, unthinking and im petuous act. For his cruelty he is willing to be crucified as was his Saviour, Jesus Christ, but he is be wildered by the mob who insist that he be expelled from his college, shunned by his friends and even burned and tortured. Mankind too can suffer, and in ways the other animals are incapable of. This young man’s conscience and his feelings about the attitude of his fellow man toward him constitute a suffering and punishment difficult to measure. I be lieve he has had more than enough and now needs help, mine as well as yours. Pasadena, Calif. Joseph A. Sprankle, Jr. Judge, Municipal Court Sirs: In the May issue (page 21) I saw something that is very misleading. The Lodge in the picture is nowhere near to Forest Home. It is called Lakeside Lodge and is quite a ride away. A visitor to the rock pile at Forest Home would be disappointed at not seeing this lodge. Inglewood, Calif. B. A. Pfeiffer The lodge pictured is a part of the Forest Home Conference grounds. — ED. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS Sirs: Was surprised to read in K.B. that Seventh-day Adventists are the top money-givers of any church body in America. Certainly they do not give more than the Methodists or Baptists do as denominations. San Bernardino, Calif. G. R. Saunders No, but only more per member according to the National Council of Churches. However, the Southern California SDA office reports a total membership three times that released officially. If this is true then their per member giving would drop dras tically. - — ED.
