I Mr Christensen stated that persons should be free to t I find the divine by themselves The Gideons would certainly certainly certainly agree with this statement Their only ony reason for existing is to provide the means for those that wish to consider consider consider con con- sider Christianity to read about it for themselves Why be beso beso beso so uptight about this Furthermore with all the questionable things that are being handed out in this city why be afraid of a compilation compilation compilation com com- of letters and teachings that were written thousands thousands thousands thou thou- sands of years ago As for any fear of those scary little Bibles given out on invasion day I can assure you that the gospel which can be found within is that of one who has no intention of harming hamming or forcing anything on any- any Christ Frightful isn't it Hewes Garcia-Hewes Nursing Major |
