Letters To The Editor

Your comment in Georgia
Pines on Pierce Harris’ article
“Preachers Should Help People
Instead of Confusing Them,” tells
about an attitude which many
have accepted as a way of life.
There are large numbers of
people seeking security and
refuge “while the battle for
survival is going on outside.” Yet,
somehow, the majority of people
will (must) learn to live in change
and the resultant insecurity, and,
in so doing, will survive and
continue.
However, there seems to be an
incongruity between the above,
and what Harris says regarding
the Bible and the preacher or
teacher who causes people to
wonder about the Bible.
Obviously, if the times we live in
cause people to be interested in
the Bible (either with questions
or answers), as so many are-
today, and if the interest brings
from the scriptures new thoughts
and new understanding, which is
more realistic than previous
conceptions, then some good has
been accomplished. We will often
wonder about things, but perhaps
it is what we wonder about and
what we do while we are
wondering that puts purpose or
meaning into life.
Harris’ last statement, I must
confess, eludes me; maybe 1
attach too much significance to
it. However, if he means why
wonder about something which is
apparently unexplainable, then I
say that the man who wondered
about the rose was one of the
same men who has brought us
into the present day, which for
all its difficulties, is still the best
time to be alive.
Sincerely,

P.S. If 1 might be allowed
indulge in some trivia:
to
1) You could leather bind and
gold leaf this paper if you
wish- I am more interested in
content than size, shape,
color, etc.
2) It would seem most
practical to do whatever is
cheaper (even the gold leaf).
3) The present Bulletin is
readable and the print is clear
- therefore (concentrate on
content, story selection, and
even an editorial from my
own diocese might prove
interesting.
EDITOR:
In the January 16 issue of the
Georgia Bulletin there was a
letter to the editor signed by R.
F. Whaelan, Villa Rica, Ga 1
am happy that he does pay his
subscription to the paper
regardless of whether he is a
Catholic or non-Catholic.
Perhaps the Bulletin would act
as a welcome wagon and invite
him to Our Lady’s Church.
Rev. J. Douglas Edwards

Editor’s note: Because of space
Father Edward’s letter had to be
cut down.
Dear Editor:
Not being in possession of the
facts I can only presume that the
Bulletin operated in the red
under the former editors.
This presumption is based on
the knowledge that any paper’s
financial success is dependent on
a sizable quantity of
advertisements.
The consistant socialistic
leanings of these former editors
were not conducive to attracting
enthusiasm among business
concerns who preferred not to
get involved.
Could I be correct in feeling we
now have the satisfactory but
small paper due to
entrenchment?
Very truly yours,
A REGULAR ADVERTISER
FOR OVER 25 YEARS
Dear Editor:
I am much pleased indeed with
the improvement in the Georgia
Bulletin. It is truly a joy in every
respect, a most welcome visitor at
my home. As for its size, the New
York Daily News is the same
tabloid style and is the most
widely circulated paper in the
country. I think Father Kiernan’s
column is a splendid feature.
Cordially,
Craddock Goins
Dear Editor:
Bob Daniell’s letter found fault
with one of the editorials in the
Bulletin on Jan. 9th and also
found fault with the paper since
the leaving of Chris Eckl. I wish
to go on record as agreeing with
the editorial and I find the paper
to be a vast improvement over
Gerry Sherry and Chris Eckl.
Very truly yours,
Robert K. McLellan
HOLY NAME MEN DON APRONS The ladies of the Shrine of
The Immaculate Conception Altar Society were pleasantly surprised
when the men of the Holy Name Society served them breakfast at
their meeting Sunday, Jan. 19th. Mrs. Gasperini and some of the
other “Kitchen helpers” said it was about the best breakfast they had
ever had. All the ladies agreed and suggested it would be nice every
month. The men were quick to remind them that this was their gift
for the year! Pictured left to right are Louis Zink, Eddie Gasperini,
Wdlie Johns, Robert Adams, and Jerry Giordano.
