US of S(RAF) has yOnsidered the draft closing
address. Whilst he would not disagree with the
general line taken, and whilst he accepts the .
need for an objective approach towards this
subject, he feels that the current draft would
benefit from being toned down so as not to pour
quite so much scorn on 'believers'.
