INTER-CHURCH COMMUNION

Madam, - May I enlighten Rev David O'Hanlon (May 29th) as to the essential nature of the Christian family? Jesus calls; we choose to follow. We cannot choose who else follows, nor should we be resentful of whosoever else accepts his open invitation to grace at his table. - Yours, etc.,

Madam, - I would like to add an alternative ending to Rev David O'Hanlon's letter under this heading:

But before you call the Guards, your old Father who, is confined to bed upstairs, knocks on the flimsy floor above and shouts down: "Son, welcome this stranger, for he is your brother!" - Yours, etc.,

RUTH GILL,
