One friend gge ted that
God would not allow the nuclear
bomb to fall on u all. But if
God would allow twenty mil­

own land, or allow 23,000
Columbian to be buried alive
beneath the mud in the night;
then he will allow man to
bomb him If to death. For
God is eternal, and if man
chooses not to be, then it would
seem that God will allow him to
write his own epitaph, even if
it mean that God must wait
another million years to e

gain and populated by a le
greedy specie of people.
