Strength in Christ

I would like to comment in answer to the published letter "Effusion of Christian Smut" (14/3/73) written by Brent Ellis. Although I am not a V.U.W. student, I hope a technician's retort may be published.

Brent should remember that a Christian is "a follower of Christ" which can be interpreted as "a learner from Christ" and admit that we do not yet understand all things. We accept some statements on face value. I bet that when your teacher first taught you 2+2=4 you learned this without getting down on the floor by yourself to prove it. Time will show proof (or otherwise) of the Dogma. Have you a better code to live by?

Who the hell uses Christianity as a yardstick? — Millions — come and join us! How otherwise can you learn the strength coming from a cleared conscience and a true aim in life.

I've found strength in Christ. I have been working for V.U.W. for 6 years and during this time have had a wife attempt suicide twice (success on second time) brought up two adopted Maori kids with some success and am still learning of true life. I think a lot of V.U.W. students are failing to see their danger in rejecting the Christian Faith.
