This best seller by Harper Lee was

This particular novel deals with
the social-economical classes that
exist in the deep south. Harper Lee’s
treatment was very objective. She ob
tained this by having an unprejudiced
eight-year-old girl to relate the story.
After some discussion the reviewers
and the audience agreed that the title
was symbolic. Harper was saying that
It is of no avail to destroy or harm
those whose existence is detrimental
10 no one.

HE DIED
My Savior Jesus
Suffered and died,
Convicted of no crime—
Crucified.
He gave for us—
His life
And then endured
The strain and strife.
For us He bore
The bitter pain;
For our sins
He was slain.
