for my rejection of "commercialized religion"; and the questions asked by a Chinese young man, graduate of the University of California, when I asked him why he had forsaken the Christian Church and reverted to the religion of his ancestors. He said, "Why should I take Christ? Don't you want him?" I won't bore you any further. I think your idea has great merit, unfortunately there will be some who object to this intimate view of yourself and should not be granted this privilege again. There are those in fandom who take such confidence entirely too lightly, who do not give them the consideration they so earnestly deserve. I trust that you will not allow their ill mannered heckling to disturb you or this magnificent effort.
