Now that the smoke — as well as other substances not officially ‘san-
ctioned by the Pollution Control Board — has cleared, tho’ results of last
week's provincial election make two things abundantly obvious:

First, we still have a Social Credit government. Second, we still have a

New Democrat opposition.

But a quick look at where the
ballots fell tells us of some in-

(Voice of the People.

Editor, Castlegar News:

I have just recently come
across a chain letter that dis-
turbs me very much,

To think that such a letter
may have been distributed to
several citizens. of our com-
munity causes me. great con-
cern, espetially for those whe.

seriously.

The letter starts with the
words, “Trust in the Lord with
all good faith and He will
acknowledge and He will light
the way”. While this is not such
bad advice, the rest of the
letter is disgusting.

The letter says that this
“prayer” has been sent for good
fuck with the original .coming
from the Netherlands, Appar-
ently, if you send 20 copies out
to others they, too, are sup-

receive some “luck” in the mail
in four days. If you do not send
out the copies of the letter, you
are supposed to face a tragedy
in four days.

The letter has no name of.
any kind on it. There is no

‘might take this chain letter’

posed to get lucky ard you will:

Chain Letter Disturbing

. Tequest for money in it, It con-

tains phrases like “This is no
joke”.

This is rubbish of the worst
kind. The so-called prayer that
begins this letter is neither
prayer nor is it Scripture. God
does not honor such threaten-
ing letters. God does not work
that way. While He does warn
us of judgment to come for sin,
He reaches out with His arms of
love to everyone of us to spare
us from that judgment if we
will receive His Son Jesus as
Saviour.

God does not promise us
blessings through threatenings,
but through His free grace and
love for us. IE Timothy 1:7
states, “For God hath not given
us the spirit of fear; but of
power, and of love, and of a
sound mind.”

To anyone who would re-
ceive such a disgusting letter;
junk it Our confidence, and
hope is in the Lord Who is a
God of love. Do not let this
letter trouble. you!
