Letter of the day - Can the Judge of all the Earth be wicked?
THE EDITOR, Sir: The recent call by some churchmen to resume hanging in Jamaica has rekindled debate about the supposed contradictions inherent in the Christian teaching. The million-dollar question is: How could a God who gave His son to die for the world support the taking of another human life?
The facts about Garvey
The Editor, Sir: In his column of October 19 headlined 'Heroes and errors' Dr Orville Taylor stated that if Marcus Garvey had been able to make a greater appeal to blacks of all classes, he might not have lost the 1929 municipal elections. He also claimed that Garvey did not take his message for Jamaica beyond the barriers of race.
Beautify parish capitals
The Editor, Sir: This is an open letter to the Prime Minister. Dear Prime Minister: One of the many things that the Jamaica Labour Party was well known for under the stewardship of the former leader, Mr Edward Seaga, is city beautification.
Well done, Rev Dick!
The Editor, Sir: I would like to congratulate Rev Dr Devon Dick for his column of the 23rd. The column, 'Christianity marginalised', and the sentiments expressed, is one that I have long wanted to write, but he did it so much better.
