LETTER BOX Old Testament Offers Recipe for Peaceful Life Editor, The Jewish News: The Old Testament is divinely inspired; it contains words and messages which give thought for the whole human race that the righteousness of the world belongs to all of the people here on earth. Everyone should read the bibli- cal truths of those great men from the Old Testament with understand- ing. The readers will find that those men possessed "peace of mind" and a spiritual life that would teach the reader how to ob- tain a richer and nobler life. It (the Old Testament) helped the writer . . . to understand the meaning of life and d e a t h, the existence of all life and of the power that rules the elements of the universe. All of these inspired me to think, to analyze . . . and to write in terms of peaceful living, with ma- lice to none, with charity and with good will to all men, regardless of race, religion, color or origin.
