My Dear Doc,

Greetings in His name. I am so sorry to hear that you have not receivedmy previous letter. It was sent through K. in a cover addressed to Mr. Philip.So he has betrayed me. It does’nt matter. I had written only the truth in it.


I had written the details of what he has been trying to do here. I am sureMiss Gundesen has already written to you all about it. May be, she haswritten to you about the results of our meeting too. He came down fromAddis last week, with the Veterinary Doctor, since we had sent him a telegramthat the cows were sick. Mr. Stokland asked for a meeting, and MissGundesena and I and Degefe attended. In the beginning K’s attitude wasthat Mr. Stokland had no right to call this meeting, since he thought what hehad done was one of his administrative duties and that it did not affect us inany way. When we forcefully brought home to him that he had insulted usby going over our backs and asking the boys not to come to our houses, hewas convinced and said that it was his ‘mistake’ and that he was sorryabout it. He begged our pardons, but we feel that he did it just because hehad to. We asked for an assurance that this will not happen again, which hereadily gave us.

I asked him what right he had to stop my boys from coming to my houseor any body else going to anybody else’s home for that matter. He repeatedhis old story that there is public opinion that this was a religious school,and that he had to combat it. He told us how some of the Tillik Sows of theplace told him that all his schools were religious schools, and he denied it,without any result whatsoever. He personally believed that there was noreligious education being given in the compound and thought that thewhole thing was due to the stupidity of the public! He said that he onlywanted to change the wrong impression prevalent among the public, andthat therefore he thought it necessary to stop all kinds of meetings in theteachers’ houses.

I told him that I was an Orthodox Christian and that nobody could prohibitme from teaching the Bible to the boys. I felt that Miss Gundesen also wasnot teaching any religion, but only the Bible, but that if he thought itinadvisable he could stop it, but not my class. He replied that this hadnothing to do with religion and that it was only a matter of public opinion.He said that he personally had respect for all religions, including the stone-worshippers. I then had to tell him that I thought all this was due to thesimple fact that he did not like the Bible. He said that he had studied theBible, fullstop, semicolon and all, and that everything was in his head. Hesaid that he himself liked to teach the Bible and that we were free to teach toin the class rooms during the morals periods. Mr. Stokland intervened tosay that he thought that K was an enemy of the Bible and Christ. He put hishands over his ears as if we were speaking sacrilege. In any case he did notbudge from his point, but said that this was not only in Jimma, but all overthe province that the Bible classes had to be stopped. He said that he would


keep his ears open to see what the public said, and that if they did notchange their impressions, we could restart the classes; but the man addedthe words, .... Then we asked him if this was his own doing, or if he hadorders from Addis. He said he was responsible for the province and did notneed any orders to do things like this.

The point is this now, Sir, I am asking you to do me a favour, the secondtime I ask for one. You know that I belong to the Orthodox faith (The SyrianChurch of Malabar), which is the same as the Ethiopian Church in everymatter of faith. Only the rituals are different. His Majesty knows about mychurch. I have heard that H.I.M. has received communion from one of ourBishops when he came to this country many years ago. So please seek aninterview with him about and me, that I am desirous of opening a SundaySchool in this compound. I will see that only things which are not againstthe Orthodox faith will be taught by me. Explain to him about most of theboys being orphans. Who can be potential crooks if they are not given therequired moral education. I can give references about myself from one ofour Bishops back home. In Addis Mr. Hafiz Dawood or Mr. Dmitri will beable to speak for me. I know the trend of things in this country, and howdifficult a thing I am asking you to do. I know that I myself am taking quitea risk, but I am not anxious about myself, so long as what I do is to the gloryof His name.

I would request that your opinion about me and about my charactershould not stand in the way. It is an unfortunate coincidence ofcircumstances that has made you misunderstand me in more than onerespect. I don’t say that I have always been what I now am. But still, I havenever been as bad as you may perhaps think. That does’nt matter in thiscase.

I will be looking forward with anxiety to your reply. If you think it advisablethat I should have an interview with H.I.M., I will be glad to come and dothat. I am grateful to you for all that you have done in the past. Do pray overthis request of mine, and do what He lays on your heart to do.

My sincere wishes to you for a Blessed and Fruitful New Year. May Hehelp you to overcome your weaknesses and lead you from Victory to Victory.

Yours in Him

I am very sorry to leave Jimma, without saying good-bye to you.

I hope you have had a good trip down south, and that you are in goodhealth.

I wish to make use of this opportunity, to express my gratitude to you forco-operating with me in official matters, though we have had our own littlepersonal differences.

I am enclosing herewith the list of medicines to be bought for our clinic.

I am very sorry to leave this school. I am sure you will get some betterman in myplace.

The Lord God will bless you if only you will turn your heart to him. 1need not tell you this, because you know it better than I do. However Irequest you as a friend to turn to Him and try to please Him rather than toplease men.

I will be praying for you. Hope to see you before I leave Addis. My bestwishes to you.

Yours in Jesus Christ,

You say that you did not see anything new in my letter. Well, I was nottrying to teach you, but only trying to bring a few things to your remem-brance. My arguments were baseless and groundless, you say. The point isthat I did not argue in that last letter of mine. You want to take your ownangle of view. I concede your right to do it. I will concede it to every youngman who has a fundamental knowledge of men and things. But I do notconcede your right to ignore other peoples’ points of view. I am prepared toview things from your point of view. I am a student of Marx and Lenin. Iknow of a few things about communism and Marxism. I have not beeninitiated into your inner sancta, but yet I have a working knowledge of yourideals and methods. I see your view-point.

Now here is my challenge, little brother. I ask you to explain your faith.Are you prepared to see my point of view? Then answer the followingquestions. I will tell you what I believe on the same topics and tell you why.

1. Do you believe in the existence of God, Personal or impersonal?

2. Do you believe in the personality of God? if not, why not?

3. What do you believe of the nature of God?

4. Do you believe that God controls and directs this universe?

5. What do you think about man? Is he endowed with the powers toacquire infinite knowledge by his own efforts. Is there a limit to the knowl-


edge that a man can acquire? Who do you think was the man with thehighest amount of knowledge?

6. What do you think about the origin of man? Was he created, or was heevolved from lower forms?

7. What do you believe about the origin of life on this universe? Whatdo you believe on the origin of matter?

8. Do you believe in State Capitalism? Define your ideal society.

9. Define happiness. What do you want humanity to have, freedom fromwant, or happiness?

10. Do you think man should have freedom of speech, freedom of opin-ion, freedom of faith and worship, and above all freedom from fear andtyranny?

Please pardon for apparently trying to make you appear for an examina-tion. I am a teacher (in fact, a college professor) and therefore love to askquestions and correct answers. Now if you can give me the answer to theabove questions, I shall be able to know what your fundamental points ofview are. Then we can agree on certain fundamentals and proceed with ourmutual assistance to seek the truth. I donot say that I refuse to be con-vinced of the truth of your thinking. If you can convince me I am preparedto change my views. I am prepared to accept your angle of view and thinkwith you. If you can show me that Soviet Communism is the way for thesalvation of the world, the next letter will contain an application for member-ship in the communist party, and for contain an application for membershipin the communist party, and for appointment as a worker. Hope you will notfail to send me the answers, clear and detailed, to the above questions. Ifyou prefer to write in malayalam, I guess I can understand it. One of thechief reasons for my writing in English is the fact that I can type faster thanI can write with pen. Hope you will excuse my using a bourgeoisie lan-guage. It happens to be the language of the world today.

Yes, you are old enough. But, take it from me, not old enough to judgefor yourself. You are old enough to think for yourself. You do not needanyone to think for you any longer. But Just because you have read anumber of books, do not think that you can judge everything. It is not merereading that makes a man. Maturity of brain is one of the fundamentalrequisites. You are too young to acquire maturity of thought. It needs expe-rience. You must go through pleasures and pains, hunger and satiety, rich-ness and poverty, suffering and satisfaction, success and failure, health


and disease, and all kinds of circumstances in life to be able to think clearlyfor yourself. I have gone through most, and in this 27 years of my age, haveaccumulated more experience than any man of 40. Excuse a little boasting. Itis only my intellectual snobbery, which is extremely bourgeois too. Still, Iam humble enough to admit that my thinking is not yet as clear as I wouldlike it to be. When I read such a profound book as Das Kapital, or some ofLenin’s writings, I have often to read a sentence three times before I canunderstand it. I agree in essence with Das Kapital. I agree that the capitalistis the greatest potential danger to any country. I agree to that the surplusvalue made by the capitalist out of the labour-power of other human beings,does not rightfully belong to him. But I do not agree with state capitalism. Iam for state-controlled private enterprise. I know that today’s state in theso-called democratic nations is all on the part of the moneybags, and is anenemy of the labourer. But state capitalism is not the solution, becausewithout private enterprise, without individual effort, all the higher values ofhumanity are likely to perish. This is one of the facts overlooked by Marx,Engels and Lenin, for all three of whom I have the profoundest respect asgreat thinkers. Stalin, I do not care for. He is just an ambitious monarchdestined for ruin within three years. He is not sincere or faithful. There is asolution for this Capital Labour problem. lf you want my views on the sub-ject, you can look into the Orient Illustrated Weekly of Nov. 16, 1947, wherein you will find an article entitled The Human Approach to Labour Prob-lems, by Paul Vergis. A better understanding between the Capitalist and theLabourer, the fixing of the use-value of labour not with relation to its ex-change-value, but to its utility value and labour-power-value is what I ad-vocate. That will be the solution to the problems of today. Perhaps you willremember that I was the Asst. Secretary of a Trade Union (of course bour-geois) and so I was very much interested in Labour Problems. I am still alabourer, and am on the side of lobour. So my views differ from yours onlyin respect of the methods used to solve the problem. You advocate a methodwhich has been tried in a vast country, and proved such a failure that itsowners are so ashamed of it that they dare not show it to visitors fromoutside. I advocate a method which I consider to be the best, because it isone which will not cost anything if it fails, and will be the best if it works. Forthat also a struggle is necessary, but not of the animal kind, not the butcherkind, not the destructive type. Well, we will continue our discussion about,methods later.

You will pardon a smile, When I hear you say that you were a Christianin your boyhood, and that you used to argue about it with your heathenfriends. I tell you once again that if once you have become a Christian, It is


physically impossible to be anything else. We would differ in our defini-tions of a Christian. You would say that any one who has been baptised isa Christian. Our church does not teach that. The Bible does not teach that.If at least a few of our Bishops and our Priests were Christians, sincereyoung men like you would not have left the Way of Life and follow theCursed Path. What a corrupt and useless clergy we have! we cannot accusethe laymen for anything. All the fault lies on our clergy. The Lord says in theBible, “Many Pastors have destroyed my vineyard, they have trodden myportion underfoot, they have made my pleasant portion a desolate wilder-ness.” That is what the pastors have done. Whether it be Catholic, Ortho-dox, or protestant, they have all gone the way of the world, and forgottenthe high priest, the Lord Jesus. If the Lord Jesus were to come to the worldtoday. He would make our a whip, and use it in our priests, saying, “Get outhence; make not my Father’s House a house of merchandise, or a den ofthieves.”

You have not had, a warm, loving, personal contact with the Lord Jesus.If you had, you would not have left him, to go with the prostitute SovietCommunism. If you think that the pleasures of heaven are the purpose ofChristianity, then you are mistaken. Christianity is a way of life in this world,as well as for the world to come. You try to tell me that you tried to convinceyour heathen friends about Christianity, and that you were convinced bywhat they said to you. What a poor knowledge of Christianity you musthave had! You are not Christian. Just because your parents are Christians.Christianity is not a family religion. It is a religion of the individual until youaccept Christ as you personal Saviour, you are not a Christian. The LordJesus says, “Not every man that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter intothe Kingdom of Heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father in Heaven.”So you never were a Christian. You can be if you like to. The Grace of Godis free. You are welcome to accept it.

So you reverted to Logic and book knowledge to find Truth. Very good.What are books? The storehouses of man’s knowlegde. What is man’sknowledge? The result of his experiments. What are his experiments? Hissuccesses and failures. Is it perfect? What does man know about a cold?Can he cure it? What does he know about electricity? He plays so muchwith it. It is his chief servant. But how does it pass through a piece of wire,or even through the air? He does’nt understand. He admits his limitations.Logic. What is Logic? The Science of finding out arguments to prove some-thing about which you have already fixed some ideas in your mind. Is thereanyone who has been able to detach himself completely from previouslyacquired knowledge, and take a cent percent deferential view of things.


Practically impossible. All logic is a fallacy. I think it was Voltaire who lis-tened to a heated argument in favour of the mechanical concept of life, andsaid, “I agree perfectly with you, but I agree perfectly with the oppositeview also, because logic proves both.” Logic is the most subtle science. Itis full of the most delicate fallacies. Human knowledge and Logic are thetwo most miserably fallible things on earth. Science is just classified knowl-edge. I am a student of Science and believe in most of what most scientistssay.

But the fact remains that a person who devotes his whole time to thestudy of one or two sciences, will have the experience of the blind man whowent to see the elephant. Each thought that what he felt was the wholeelephant, whereas it was either the ear, or one leg, or the tusk, or the trunk orthe tail alone that he really felt. If you are a communist, then you must havemade a good study of Economics, because I am sure an intelligent boy likeyou will not jump into a party without a certain amount of study. The Sci-ence of Economics, is one of the most imperfect, and is full of problems thatstill remain unsolved. The difficulty lies in the general notion that money isall that there is in the world. The human heart, and the human soul are thegreatest things in the world, and any economy which ignores these two isbound to be a failure in the long run. The Bolshevist economy has to de-stroy Conscience and Free thinking in order to exist, and hence cannot existbut under a ditatorship. That is why communism has to destroy religion.

If you want to have a comprehensive view of life, you must come toPhilosophy, the Empress of the Sciences. There you dabble with Plato, andAristotle, Socrates and Marcus Aurelius, Bacon and Spinoza, Voltaire andKant, Schopenhauer and Nietzche, and even Spencer and Bertrand Russel.There you come face to face with abstract Metaphysics, and begin to seethat there is more in life than appears on the surface.There you try to go intothe ultimate reality of life and existence and matter and space and time andeternity, and find yourself baffled everywhere. There you find the compre-hensive view of all the sciences and laws, and bow down before the mightyignorance of the human mind. When you have made a thorough study ofphilosophy, then you are prepared to begin your search of Truth. The elu-sive reality comes into Silhouette. There Philosophy ends and Religionbegins. All your struggles through the years is amply rewarded by thevision that is in the horizon. You make that vision your aim in life, and lifeseems to be meaningful then. You find the great Plans of the Eternal Law-giver being gradually unfolded, and you bow down once again, this timebefore something worth the reverence. If you really want to see the truth,begin a study of philosophy. Study fearlessly, the Godless Nieteche, and


the Agnostic Spinoza, and Voltaire the father of doubts. You would notcome back very much enlightened about the ultimate realities, but still youget the most comprehensive view of human knowledge.

You have been telling me about the “Numerous evils it has presented tothe present society.” I would like to know what evils true Christianity hasbrought to the human society.

It is only change for the better that will improve things. Give me fiveevils out of the numerous, and I shall be satisfied. You state that if Religionis not cut out, It will ruin the whole society. Tell me how.

Do you accuse me of standing in the way of changes? I am for a root andbranch change. I am not a day-dreamer to believe that the present set-up ofsociety is the best. I am for change. But change will not improve matters. Itis only change for the better that will improve things. What evils true Chris-tianity, has brought to the human Society. It is only change for the betterthat will improve things. It is wonderful to hear from you, that “Our HolyBible confirms that changes were the essential Characterisitics of humanSociety.” You state as an example the statement that Noah thought of Godas an avaricious eater, Moses as one who paid back evil-doers in their owncoin, and christ as the embodiment of love. It looks exactly like the Devilquoting Scripture. Pray on what verses of the Bible do you base your firsttwo assertions. My Bible says that God does not change. It says that Godwas kind to the Repentant Sinner in Mosaic times as well as in Christiantimes. It shows a God who is just and loving, merciful yet Mighty; It showsa God in whom there is no shadow of turning. God is not against the manwho tries to ameliorate the conditions of the poor and needy. In fact that isone of the most important things that he wants his children to do.

2000 years ago, Christ was the Saviour of the poor. I agree with you. Hestill w is. If you think you are rich, then there is no need for you to go to him.But if you admit that you are not rich in the things that matter, then the bestthing for you is to go to him and ask him for his unperishable riches. Christdid not help the poor by giving them money or by killing the poor. He waswiser then you, and still is. The same feudal system existed in those days asit does now. It was only Industrial Capital that was absent at that time. Butthe Lord did not go shedding somebody’s blood about for saving the poor.He shed His own blood for you and me. Accept that blood, if you want torealise the peace that passeth all understanding. If mass methods wouldhave worked in those days, he would have used them. If they did not workthen, they will not work now either.


By changing circumstances you will not be able to change the mind ofthe individual. The root of the evil is in the mind of the individual, andunless it is changed, all other change is futile. Many systems that tried toimprove masses have failed miserable, for all these overlooked the fact thatmasses are made up of individuals.

You consider the work of some people to re-construct old-time religionas a crime. I plead guilty. I challenge you to punish me if you can. Do youwant my blood? You are welcome to have it. I do not want yours. I wantyour heart. Can you give it to me? Can you love me? Can you love the Lordwhom I Love? Then you will do more good to the world and to me, than youwill by murdering all the capitalists and religious people in the world. Youare not the first Nero. Christ’s church is not afraid of people like you. Neroshave come and Neros have gone, but Christ and His Bride stand for ever.

“I think that in a Christian world, there cannot be exploitation, prostitu-tion, and theft” is what you say. True. But where is that Christian Society.Today’s Society is a Communistic, or an Americo-Materialistic Society. It isfull of thoroughly non-Christian Doctrines and isms.Tell me which is thatNation that you will call Christian. Comparatively, India is the most Chris-tian Nation on earth, because the national character is so akin to the Chris-tian. But if you take America or England, the so-called Christian Nations,they are all so absolutely Christless. It is unfair to put the blame for adepraved society on christ. The blame is to be laid at the door of those whoreject christ, like you for example. If there was more of Christ in individualhearts, we would not have been living in the most putrified society ofalltimes. It is lack of Christ and not Christianity that is to blame. Give more ofchrist to humanity, and, is what Christianity wants today. But you chooseto go the christless way. If there is prostitution, is it among the true Chris-tians or among the Christless? If there is theft and murder, is it among thetrue Christians or the Christless? If there is commercial exploitation, if thereis industrial exploitation, is it among the Christians or among the Christlessservants of Mammon? No, communism is not the solution. Communismmight succeed in bringing about economic equality, but it cannot bringabout human welfare. Equality of opportunity, without the incentive forprivate enterprise, results in forced labour. And this in its turn brings about/ evils many times greater in magnitude than the evils existent in the present-day economic build-up.

In an economic buildup which follows the communistic lines, the humanbeing becomes a slave of the state. Man prizes his freedom above evenfood and clothing. Whether it to be man or state, I refuse to be slave. I was


born free and I will remain free till I die. You cannot force me to live in a statewhere I cannot breathe, talk, air my opinions, or worship the God of mychoice. I prefer to die rather than live in such suffocating atmosphere. Istand for equal opportunity for all; but not for the complete cutting down ofPrivate Enterprise. I do not want to see any poor in my world. I want thestate to take care of it that every body is free from want. The State wouldhave to use force to take the surplus out of the Capitalists labour valueproductions. The surplus value produced by him will have to be taken awayfrom him, but not completely, because he too must live and work. I hate aCapitalist Beaureaucracy as much as I hate an official Bureaucracy. TheState however is apparently incapable of doing away with bureaucracy inone form of other. There cannot be peace without power and tyranny, in acommunistic land. It is just impracticable. It tends to make man lose the finerand nobler values of life which make life worth living. Cruelty and Ruthless-ness become the highest values and human life begins to descend to thelevel of the animal. I will sacrifice everything I have before I allow my coun-try to go that way. An economy in which truth becomes a relative term,honesty becomes a weakness, and goodness the sign of frailty! I shudderto think of that. No you can kill me before you establish that in my country.I will not live to see it.

Do you think that when poverty and inequality is removed by yourmethod of destroying the existing structure and building up somethingbrand new, in which everything will be shockingly stereotyped and equal,where everybody will get enough to satisfy his need irrespective of the“amount or quality of work he does where there will be no incentive toindividual effort, and the only means to make human beings work is the oneused of old by slave-drivers, that will be ideal society? Do you think thatinequalities will not creep up? Do you think the plan of paying the majorand the private in the army the same pay will work? Can Stalin receive thesame remuneration as the street Scavenger? Can Malik or Vishinsky go andlive in one of the third-rate hotels of New york as his poorer brother will beforced to do? Do you think that the Doctor of Medicine will care to go andtreat a patient at dead of night, if his remuneration is fixed? Do you think thefactory worker will put in his whole might into the job when he knows fullwell that what he is going to get is the same irrespective of the quality orquantity of the work he does? You plead for equal pay for man and woman.I agree, provided they do equal work. There is no reason why a womantelegraphist should be paid less than a man telegraphist. Yes your societyof the future is a dream, as prone to be a failure as the present day societyin Russia is a failure as far as the higher values of life are concerned.


Yes, the hearts of the rich are adamant. I do not doubt your wisdom insaying that. But if their hearts are adamant, remember they will die hard.Remember the Lord who says, Vengeance is mine. Do not think that God isunjust. He knows what each deserves. You may not be able to see thewisdom of his justice, because you have not studied the whole history ofthe case. He knows each man’s heart, and will recompense reward accord-ing to the merit of each. If you try to punish them by killing them out, Youwill also perish by the same sword. I appreciate your crusading spirit. Buthow I wish it were led in the right path! It is not necessary that one genera-tion should suffer so that the coming ones may be saved. You will notimprove the world until you attack the root of evil. So long as men’s heartsare evil, new evils will always be ready to creep up. You are sowing thewind, and you and coming generation, if there is to be one, will reap thewhirl wind. Let us learn to love, rny little brother, it is a loving heart thatreally conquers the world.

Let us not forget the fundamental fact that we are human beings. Math-ematics does not apply to the human heart and soul. Any methods that ruleout God will eventually fail. They have failed in the past. They are doomedto fail in the future. Let us love each other and see how fast it works. Let uslearn to love, and to drive away every trace of hatred and malice out of ourhearts. Then, brother, if you can accept the Lord Jesus as your personalLord and Saviour, you will know the peace that passeth all understanding.If the Lord blesses you, I will come over there in another year’s time andthen we will discuss these things in greater detail, and maybe the Lordmight lead you to see the truth. Pray over it, if you can, and the Lord willbless you. If you want to see the Lord there is only one way, the way ofLove and Faith. “I Love them that loveth me”, sayeth the Lord, “and thosethat seek me early shall find me,” Without faith it is impossible to pleaseGod; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is arewarder of those that diligently seek him.” What kind of seeking? Not thehalf-hearted type. “Ye shall seek me and find me when ye shall search for mewith all your heart.” Not with the brains, brother, but your heart. That iswhat the Lord wants. That is what he made you for. He wants you to lovehim. “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy: break up yourfallow ground: for it is time to seek the Lord till he come and rain righteous-ness upon you. Ye have plowed wickedness ye have reaped iniquity; yehave eaten the fruit of lies: because thou didst trust in thy way, in themultitude of thy mighty men” (Hoseas10:12-13).

I advise you brother if you do not take offense at my advising you, thatif you really care for the truth, read as much as you can of the Bible Study it


with reverence, and you will find so much to enrich your soul. Not onesingle fact of the Bible has till this day been disproved by any of the Critics.If there is any point where you think the Bible gives an incongruous record,I am prepared to explain it to you. Try to study it in earnest, and you will notregret the day on which you began the study. Christianity is an all-timereligion. The Bible is an alltime book. Many have tried to attack the histori-cal veracity of the Bible stories, and what is popularly known as HigherCriticism, was in vogue in the second half of the nineteenth century, and inthe first two or three decades of the twentieth. But today, Archeology andGeology have vindicated almost every single truth in the Great Book. Notone single fact has been disproved by any critic. If you doubt this state-ment, I challenge you with my limited knowledge of the Bible and higherCriticism, to advance one single historical fact of the old or New Testament,that has been disproved. I am prepared to defend every one of them.

May the Lord bless you to realise these truths. Once again I say, let uslove each other. Let our arguments not come in the way of our friendship.Let us remember that we are human beings. I have a very warm corner in myheart for you. I hope you reciprocate my feelings. Arguments have neverconvinced man. Man gets convinced first and then proceeds to argue witha view to justify his conviction. That is pure human psychology. So I am notexpecting these arguments to convince you. But I believe in the power ofprayer. I am praying for you, and the Lord will someday open your spiritualeyes to see the truth. I will keep praying for you. Meanwhile I will be de-lighted to hear from you in reply to the questions and the points raised inthis letter. I like this discussion very much.

Coming to personal matters, I am keeping good health. I had a funnyaccident recently. I went out picnicing with a group of boy-scouts, andwhile trying to cross a water-course, slipped on a rock and fell into a water-fall. Of course the water-fall was only about 20 feet deep, but it was enoughto kill me. Fortunately while I was being taken away by the swift water-current, and was just about to fall down with the waterfall; my right legstruck against a rock at the brink of the fall. So my course was stopped andwhile, I was regaining my balance and trying to swim, one of my coura-geous little boys, ran over and extended his feet for me to hold on. I held onto it, and climbed up the rock, in full tweed suit with hat on, and everythingbut the top of my hat wet. There was some money in my pocket and mywatch also got badly soaked. My clothes were spoiled, but I myself wassafe.

I am beginning to like my new place. The boys are some of the highest


educated children in the country, and it is a pleasure to teach them. I have afairly big-sized house all for myself, and am enjoying my stay here. Pleasetell your mother and father that I am keeping good health, and give them mybest compliments. Where is Ipekutty now? Has Pathappan finished hiscourse? Give my best wishes to both. Where is Chechi now? I have’ntwritten to her sending her my congratulations on the new-born baby. Pleasecongratulate Ipekutty also on my behalf. Has Saramma’s marriage beenpostponed? When is your marriage? I hope I will be able to attend it ormaybe, you don’t care to marry. Are you a member of the party? Are you aworker? I am interested in knowing. What are your plans for the future? Areyou going to be a worker, or are you going to pursue your studies?

Please write for all news. May the Lord bless you and keep you.

Yours in Him.

My Dear Lonanpillai,

I have been delaying replying your letter of the 18th septr with a specialpurpose. I was rather irritated at reading your letter, which I had no right tobe, and so I thought I would wait until I could write in an unexcited vein. Infact I have no right to get offended at whatever you might say, since I hadused some strong words in my previous letters. I apologise to you forhaving offended you and caused you to write such angry words.

I am beginning to think that this correspondence is not bringing usanywhere. Nobody ever convinced anybody by argument. And perhaps itis no use trying to argue with you. Even if it were, you are not prepared toargue logically. It might be more useful to both of us if we discuss our


subjects with less emotion and more logic.

You tell me that you are not concerned at all about the existence of God.You think that even if there is a God, he will not punish you for your deedsso long as you do them with sincerity. I would like to know the source ofyour information. Did God speak to you about this? How do you know whatGod will do and what He will not do. It is presumptuous on our part to pre-judge the thoughts of God. God is the Lord of this Universe, and He has alaw. He wants you to obey those laws and does not ask you to do as youthink best. If you want to know what the will of God is, you can read it in abook called the Bible, wherein the words of the Lord Jesus Christ are writtenso that you may see.

The main point is whether you have intelligence enough to see designbehind this Universe. If you have and if you are prepared to think withoutthe aid of western materialistic philosophies, you will see that man is acreation of God. You will also see that man is superior to all other livingbeings, in that he is able to choose between good and evil. If your intelligenceis of the right type you can also see that there must be a purpose in thissupreme creation. The Lord created everything else in the world for mankindand he made man with the special wish that man should of his own volitionlove God. God did not put any any compulsion on man whether to love Godor to hate him, because He wanted spontaneous love from man. But manchose to hate God, and love himself more. Therefore man broke himselfaway from God. Anyone who cuts himself loose from the Eternal Source ofLife is heir to death. So death came on Mankind.

God loved mankind yet. So he furnished a means by which it is possiblefor men to be reconciled to God. God is a just God. He must have disobediencepunished. He must at the same time have mankind or part at least of it saved.S the Lord’s plan was to take upon himself the punishment for the sin ofmankind, and that explains the cross. Now the criterion for each individualappropriating for himself the benefits of this expiatory sacrifice was faith. Itwas faithlessness in God and faith in His enemy which made the first mandisobey God and believe the snake. So every one who believes in the wordsof the Lord that, “He that believeth on me has eternal life”, and compensatedfor the disobedience of the first man with his own obedience is redeemed bythe death on calvary. This is the simple Gospel. If you believe it, you willfind yourself becoming a new man and inheriting the peace that passes allunderstanding, which I now enjoy.

I want to comment upon some of your arguments. I am just showing youthe other side. I do not expect you to swallow everything I say. These are


things which you do not usually find in books, because the world, and youalong with them will consider it foolish. One of the first Universal truths, isthat the majority is not essentially right. This is the fundamental flaw indemocracy.

You have stated that the people in the days of old were barbarous, livinga life akin to that of animals. What is your evildence for this statement? Thefact is that man has deteriorated in his intelligence and culture. You willrealise the truth of this if you compare the ancient civilisations of Greece,Egypt, China, or India with the civilisations existent in these countries today-Even the negroes of Africa had a very very advanced civilisation. TheBabylonians, the Assyrians, the people of Knossos, were all in no wayinferior to the people of today in intelligence. A man of the intellectualcapacity of Socrates or Plato or Aristotle, or Euclid or Pythagoras orBhaskara, has not been born in recent times. We have no evidence of anycivilisation that existed before 5000 years and we know from the Bible thatpeople believed in the true God even that early. There is no evidence insupport of your theory that man began by worshipping water, fire, stars,sun, moon etc, or other natural phenomenon and then rose to the worshipof God. All the evidence available points to the fact that the worship of Godhas been purer in the beginning in all religions and time has been a corruptingfactor in the knowledge of God in all religions. You will realise that christtaught a religion that is devoid of all superstition, but later, Mary-worshipand superstitions were brought in by priests who had no better way ofsqueezing money from the people.

Christianity is not a reasonable religion. The Mohamedans claim thattheirs is reasonable natural religion. But Christianity is essentiallysupernatural in its concepts. It is the only religion that talks of a God reachingout to humanity. But your mind is cobwebbed with prejudices and it will behard for you to see the truth until the sword of the Spirit strikes at your heartsome day. The Lord will get you someday, and I am praying that day will benear enough.

You have tried to judge Christianity by the conduct of its professedadherents. You are forgetting that most of these are born into that religionand it is nothing of their own choice. Christianity is an individual religion,and everybody has to make the choice for himself. You cannot call yourselfa Christian since your choice has been the devil and this world and notchrist. There are very few Christians in this world today, I am afraid lessthan a million, even though there are more then 850 millions professing thatreligion. Most Catholics are not Christians and so also with the Protestants


and the Orthodox. Do not consider Pope as the representative of Christianity.He is the greatest known enemy of Christianity, greater even than SovietRussia. So long as he forbids men to study the Bible for themselves, he is anenemy of Christ.

Since Christianity is not the result of any of man’s experiments, you canbe sure that is not going to vanish. Even in the hey-days of Communism inthe World, you can find a few thousands who are faithful to their Lord.

It amuses me when I see you trying to assume superiority over me bysaying you know Higher Differential Claculus. Brother, excuse this intellectualsnobbery, but take it from me that I have an intellect that is at least five timesas good as yours is. I can learn higher differential calculus without a teacherif I want to, just as I have studied Trigonometry and teach it to my boysnow. Do no try to evade the issue by covering your ignorance. The theoryof Evolution is one of the most fascinating studies for any intellectual, andany serious thinker must have some idea of it, before he can find any solutionto economical problems.

You ask me again if I believe that the world was created in 4004 B.C. It isnowhere said in my Bible so, and I do not believe it. The earth may be 6million or 10 billion years old for all I know, and I can wager you nobodyknows better. But no scientist has yet proved that man has been on thisearth for more than 6 or 7 thousand years.

You can understand Vivekananda, because he says something whichyou can twist to mean that you are also travelling towards God. Don’t beunder that wrong idea. You are headed towards perdition. No man realisesGod without seeking Him. If you want to escape, begin to seek Him whilethere is still time.

I am not planning to comment on some paragraphs of your letter, becausethey are personal. The Lord will judge who has done more good to thisworld, I or you. He will also decide who loves the poor more, you or I.

My mind may not be open, but for me spiritual things come before thebody’s needs. In my conception, the spirit is eternal and the body isephemeral, so I would care comparatively more for my soul than for mybody. So with the bodies and spirits of others. I have eyes to see misery andpoverty around me. Do not think that I am not touched by those things.

You consider the Economy of Communism as the only perfect economy.I say that it will be much more short-lived than Capitalism. Capitalism withits obvious flaws has held its own for many years, and is just about ready to


give in in another century or so. But Communism as a world system will noteven live for a decade, I am sure. The tyranny and the exploitation of thoseunder authority by those in authority, will lead to sudden capitulation of theentire structure.

Nonviolence and violence are relative terms. There is no such thing asabsolute non-violence. Non-violence has contributed to Indian Freedommore than any single factor, and it may or may not be a success in future. Itdepends upon the mentality of the people who use the weapon.

I am not an apologist of the present policy of the Govt. of lndia, andhence am not willing to defend them in their arrests of Socialist leaders.

To say that Christianity has not made any changes in the world isbetraying ignorance. The civilisation of the world up to the middle of the19th century had its foundations on some Christian principles, though therewere many other, really larger in number, principles that were forgotten bythe peoples of the world.

Christ’s mission has not failed, because he did not come to change theworld. He came to call a few individuals. He came to put the son against hisfather, the daughter against his mother and brother against his brother. Heis calling a few even in these days. You can if you care to, accept his calltoday.

I have little else to tell you. I have told you what it is my duty in Christ totell you. It is up to you to make the decision. The Lord is still beckoning toyou. May He open your eyes to see the Light. I shall continue to pray foryou.

You may reply to my opinions if you care to, but I am not, going to carryon this controversy any further. I shall be glad to let you have the last word.

Continue to write to me even if you do not discuss these things with me.I have a heart that loves you, otherwise I would not have wasted thesewords on you. Be a seeker. Do not trust books blindly. Be brave andfaceissues.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He open your heart and fillit with His Peace.

With Love,

Yours in His Service

P.S. Give enclosed letter to Chechi.

My Dear Kunjoonj,

Thanks very much for your postoard. It was nice to know that you arekeeping alive.

Laziness is man’s a greatest enemy. It is besetting me in this country,because everybody here is dormant and lazy. But you there, with all theintellectual stimulus that you desire, have no apology for laziness. Youmust be able to find time once in two or three months to write a few pages tosomeone who appreciates those pages, and who is most anxious to hearabout you. I cannot see why you fail to write to me.

Your P.C. almost scared me. When I saw the heading, “The Last Journey”,I could not make out why your thoughts should be about that first. Yes,Tagore was a man who had a glimpse of the Eternal, what many call theGreat Unknown, but what I call the Great knowable. I have also had a glimpseof the Truth and my life has been transformed by that vision. I am an ardentseeker of Truth today, and I look for it, not in books, not in the writings andspeeches of great men, not in the wisdom of the world, but in everyday lifearound me, right inside my own heart, within the circumference of my ownexperience. It does not make me fatalistic. It gives me a new power, a newcourage, new views and visions, and a new faith with which to go on. I falloften, but I get up and push forward towards my Goal. In my case the GreatExperience which drew me towards the Truth and gave me a glimpse of It,was a contact sweet in its freshness, with the Lord Jesus Christ. Othersmight have approached the same Goal through other sources.

I have been reading Krishnamurti’s book, “Life in Freedom”, wherein hesays, “Truth is greater than every book of every religion, greater than everybelief you hold dear.” It is so true. When we want to circumscribe Truthwith our own petty beliefs and dogmas, Truth becomes elusive. That is whymost religions fail in their purpose.

Jesus Christ has provided one of the easiest methods of approach toGod, and realisation of Him. There may be methods of Yoga and Tapas.Methods of Renunciation or Meditation, but for me the method of Jesus


seems the easiest. His words, “Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,for I am gentle and lonely in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Formy Yoke is easy and my burden is light” have an irresistible attraction forme. I am a very poor disciple of His today, but I am conscious of the fact thatevery day, I am striving to serve Him better. A day may come, and that verysoon, when He willing, I will be able to take up my cross and follow Him. Itmay be two years, it may be more, but I must do it. I have promised my all toHim, and I do not intend keeping anything back.

I was brought here by the Lord with a purpose. I realise that only now. Ihave been asking the Lord for many years that I may be taken away fromamong my friends that I may be able to view life with a pair of freshunprejudiced eyes. I have been given what I asked and I have been blessedwith the Vision that I wanted. But I am still not acting up to what I amconscious of as my duty to God. It is a huge task that waits me in this world.It requires a great struggle within myself, and a good great deal of sacrifice.Yet I am not afraid of it. The struggle has already begun, and the sacrificewill soon be made. If I can get rid of my pride and my vanity. I will very soonbe ready to begin my work. I hope the Lord prepares me and leads me to myduty.

I have no problems in Life. I see the meaning of Life, and the only idealthat I now have is that others may know it too. It is hard to convinceanyone, because it is too simple for the sophisticated twentyth-centurybrain. It is the simple purpose of a human father begetting children, so thathe may love them and be loved by them. The human parent may have manyother reasons for begetting off-spring. But the Heavenly Father - and Mother- in - One has only one purpose, to love and to be loved by.

If we realise this, if we can underst and that we have been created so thatwe may love Him, and be loved by Him, life is no longer a mystery. Youunderstand the Greater Life of which our terrestrial life is but a microscopicsegment, as the source of all life, and also we see our earthly life as aprobationary period when we can choose whether we want to Love God orlove Mammon. If men can see that this few years that they have here, theuncertainty of life, the stealthiness of death, even the lusts of the flesh areall integral parts of His Divine Plan for us, whereby we may show Him thatwe would prefer Him to everything else, then they would not try tocompromise religion with a life of greed and hate. What kind of a religion dowe see all around us? Either it tends to ecclestiacism whereby men areblinded to the truth, or to Roman Catholicism whereby men worship idolsrather than God, or even to the Reformed Evangelical movement, in which


there is a strong inclination of compromise money and God, even thoughmost other forms of sin are ruled out.

We need a new type of Christianity, the Christianity that has the burningascetic zeal of the first century an uncompromising torrential soul-pervadinglove for God and His will, a willingness to consider the world as a strangecity and ourselves as pilgrims, to stand and suffer, mockery, ridicule andpersecution. We need to rethin Christ and His Cross, and gain our victoriesthrough His Cross.

But what am I really doing about it? Very little, I should say. I ampreaching and teaching a group of boys to grow up as children of God, butvery often I find myself unable to carry out the precepts that I ask them toobserve. My own life is but a poor example of the Life of Christ, Yet I amtrying to live the Christ-life as much as lieth in my power. I am aware of thefact that the amount of power that I possess at the moment is quite limited.But my soul panteth after Him, and I am definite that He will rain His Graceon me, and I will be able to climb towards Him. The struggle in my sinfulflesh is most terrific. I succumb very often to it, but then there are continuousperiods, When I do live a comparatively pure life. There are moments whenthe flesh gets the better of my spirit, and I get angry of I fall into impurethoughts and sometimes unclean actions. But most of the time I keep aheart free of all hate, full of love for everyone around me at times it kindlessa fire in the hearts of some of these dear children around me. Some day orother many of them might come to see the Vision that I have seen and striveto follow it.

The Lord hath been merciful unto His Servant by using Him to bringback some of the wildest of these boys to Christ in a most miraculousfashion. It takes a lot of suffering on my part, but it is a suffering which is initself a great glory. O, how I wish I could continue to be persecuted as I wasin Jimma! How happy I was to suffer shame for the Name of Christ!

Brother dear, if you do pray, forget not to make daily prayers for thisweak servant of His. Pray that he may get the victory over all his littleweaknesses, pray that he would become a man of prayer, pray that he wouldbe used mightily of God for the glory of His Kingdom. Yes, I need all theprayer that you can pray for me. I need clouds of prayer to go up into HisPresence on my behalf. Do share in this ministry of mine by prayer.

Tell me more about your new life. It is hypocritic to say that you have notime. No one works so hard as I do. And I have scores of letters to reply. Ifind time for all that. It is possible for you too. Do try and write to me in


detail. You do not understand how much I appreciate your letter’s. Don’tyou know that you are one of the few persons in this world who understandme? I feel so lonesome, and there is no greater pleasure than to hear frombrothers like you.

You are still sleeping, still dreaming. New responsibilities, new outlooks,have only made you less of a thinker. You got to rise up, and see what youcan do. There is a lot than you can, if only you will think. It is hard to changeyourself without changing your circumstances. I have tried it and failed. Icould not change myself until I changed my circumstances. But it is possible.If you try, you can become a different man, and can serve God better.Remember that every child of God is a cell of leaven, you are expected toleaven the whole lump. Exert your influence on those around you, to winthem for Christ. You cannot do it in your own power, but you will have toacquire a daily supply of His Power by hours of Prayer. May the Lord blessyou by leading you to get closer to Him, and to know peace by fearlesslyconfidently abiding in him.

How is your Madam? My respectful and affectionate regards to her.Does she understand you? I wish she does.

Do find some time to write to me in detail.

May the Lord bless you and keep you. May He give you abundantly ofHis Grace. May His Name be glorified through our lives.

with Seasonal Greetings, Love and Prayers.,

Yours in his Service,

“...We met at a summer session at Union Seminary in New York.

We developed at that time a very cordial and warm relationship and Iinvited him to come to Charlotte, to be our guest, and to speak at the St.John’s Baptist Church.

He accepted our invitation and came to Charlotte as a guest in our home,and spoke to a very large and responsive audience at the church. I mustconfess that I do not remember either the text or the content of his message!But I do remember how very warmly he was received and welcomed by ourcongregation.

But the warmth of his reception at the church was not to be comparedwith the warmth which greeted him in our home and among our neighbours!Vividly do I remember that the children - boys and girls - swarmed aroundhim as we sat out in the open garden of our home, sitting in his lap andasking all sorts of questions about his life and his ideas. And with genuineinterest and patience, he talked with them until we had to pull him away foranother meeting. ...

Looking back on those pleasant days, I indulge the fond hope that he


enjoyed his visit with us as much as we enjoyed having him as a veryspecial guest in our home for that brief time.”
