Freedom
Sir, —N. M. Bell’s letter is rather a Utopian dreamer’s vision of what might come if more people read the Bible for spiritual food, instead of listening to poor men who, so far, have unproved everything except themselves. Freedom in our society is wrongly interpreted by cuite a number of folks, and does not mean that anyone can commit a transgression, and live in mortal fear of being ‘‘found out.” A number of tradesmen are daily robbing poor innocent folks by exorbitant charges. To illustrate one case: a widow had a chimney built, etc., and hot water installed. The account was astronomical, and on being investigated by a friend, who challenged the plumber on overcharging, it was reduced some £7O. Poor widow, how easily she could have been robbed by these “Freedom-loving” tradesmen.—Yours, etc., P. L. BASHFORD. Amberley, March 17, 1958.
