Dear Sir: , As is often the case, a natural disaster — in this instance a series of devast. ating earthquakes - has bro, » ught a previously little known Third World country into the Canadian headlines. I would appreciate the Opp~ ortunity to bring to your readers' attention some bag- kground information about Guatemala, and also OXFAM'S role there, before, during and after the earthquakes. .Guatemala, a smalI’coun— try with a population of about~six million, was once

My belief is simply this, I am a Christian. I believe that Jesus Christ is, was, and always will be the Son of the living God who came to earth and died for the re—uniting of man with God, which was necessary because man is born in a state of separation from his maker.

r The person who wrote the article criticizing the po— sters and myself have at least one thing in common, we both have faith in a set of beliefs. Christianity & Atheism. Childish or no

is not for me to say. (Matt— hew il—Z)

As for living in a world Of science I fully agree.

We live in a universe named after Einstein, one of the world's mest prominent scie— ntists, a Jew, a believer in God.

Marx in "Das Kapital" is quoted as saying — 'Christia— nity, especially in its Pro- testant form, is the ideal religion for remaking chara- cters destroyed by sin.’ Marx has taught me to become a Christian in order to make a character destroyed by sin.

Even before this latest blow, the mortality rates, at 16 per 1,000, were the highest on the continent.

Most of the country's doct- \ - ' ors were located in Guate— mala City- in the country— side there was only one ph— VSician per 23,000 people. 75% of all Guatemalan chil— dren under five were said to be malnourished. 87% of all Guatemalans are sub— sistence farmers. They grow corn, beans and squash on depleted small plots. But much of the land — est- ‘imated at 62% — is curren— tly being used, and not bery efficiently, by agro- export land barons, whose plantations ship out'of the country coffee, cattle and bananas.

I cannot agree with them.
