...Thank you for printing, in your admirable Religion section, the New Statesman and Nation's attack on us. It is a choice example of the odd logic of so many of the assailants of our "irrelevant" doctrine and our "decaying" church. "Why should anybody go to church," asks Editor Kingsley Martin [TIME, July 19], "and listen to the Sermon on the Mount, when they know that atom bombs are being made for use?"

Alfonso Noriega joked, laughed and wove a crown of flowers as he walked; he wanted to thank the Virgin because his store had made so much money this year. Arnulío Garcia stepped along with a pocketful of Querétaro's famed opals and his own private prayer on his lips: "Dear Virgin, May I have better luck selling my stones in Mexico City than...
