Letter To The Editor
Dear Miss Marlene:
I have been trying to get in a
note to you for quite a while, but
I was trying to wait until I could
submit a few samples of some
items which you might use at
times as fillers.
I know that often a printer
does need a filler to complete a
column. If you could use, I will
be glad to provide them and you
could use them when you found
a need.
As you may know, I had a
regular column iff the Journal
on the subject of "RELIGION
Religion In The Here And Now
By REV. NORVIN C. DUNCAN
For many years I had a column in the Cooleemee
Journal entitled RELIGION IN THE HERE AND NOW.
Those who may remember it, may recall that many
years ago I predicted the state of affairs today, because
it seemed very clear to me that our real behaviour as
professed christians, (all Communions) were so at
variance that the warnings of the ancient Hebrew
prophets were as applicable to our time as then. The
contrast between our preaching and practice condemns
us before universal law.
Christians are in the world to be Christ to the world,
manifesting His love, His forgiveness, His attitudes, His
concern for others, His sacrifice.
The Primitive Church, in its new-found evidence of
a future life, and expecting an early return of Jesus,
began looking heavenward, while overlooking this life.
We have been a long time learning that the eternal life is
already begun, and that christians are to begin living
this heavenly life HERE AND NOW. If all christians
did, the KINGDOM OF GOD would appear upon this
earth, and be ready for transplanting into the now
invisible, real, heavenly world.

The present state of affairs
show that my interpretations
were on the right track.
Also, I wish to get my new
address to you. I continue to

occasional fillers.
