Sirs:

Your literature and correspondence is extremely offensive to us, and we ask that you send no more. Such activity leads to death of the family, the nation, and eternal loss to the individuals. The apostle of Jesus, Paul, wrote through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit of God, our Creator, "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themself with mankind. . . .

Dear ONE:

Mr. V.O.P., M.D. Napa, California

Just got around to finishing the March issue -and man, did I find out how dumb I am. I am referring to the letter from the gentleman from Frenchtown, who, at the ripe old age of 37 no longer needs ONE. I am only 52, but I still find a lot of interesting, informative, and amusing things to read in our Magazine, in spite of the fact that I have for many years considered myself fairly well adjusted.

I do agree wholeheartedly with him that it must be a great help to younger men-so, what's wrong with continuing to support it, hoping that it will reach more of the younger men and help get them on the right track? ONE can't do that without help from some of us adjusted ones.

To ONE Magazine's Staff:

Many, many thanks for publishing my story "Moment of Truth." If my book on the Missions never sees publication at least I will have the honor of seeing one of the stories. from it published.

Upon visiting the 21 Missions and the 2 Chapels I wrote of men and women-the evil. and the saintly, and the homosexual, and of how the Missions and Chapels affected their lives. I wished to show how life existed during the early Mission days, not to make sport of the Church.

Within the stories the reader will come across human achievements and aims. None of them can be read without some quickening of the heartbeat, the thrilling of the pulse and the ambitious stimulation of the soul. And if from them any information can be gainedmaterially and spiritually, then the purpose of them will more than be fulfilled.

Although I have as yet been unable to find out what the "official" outlook is toward the homosexual here, I have through observation felt that it must be rather lenient what with the number of queens appearing in numerous

bars with much long hair and complete makeup without molestation by the local authorities. Morocco is a wonderful country. I am finding my stay here most enjoyable with trips. to Tangier, Casablanca, Rabat, Ifran, Marrakesh, Ourzazateand, and other places of scenic beauty and historic interest.

Your institution of the column "Toward Understanding" is excellent and I do hope that it will continue. Dr. Baker's acceptance letter was excellent, and from the first answers in your February issue it appears that her understanding and replies will be of great benefit to those of us who do not have enough sense to put into writing those problems which are troubling us.

The small enclosure is a contribution for your general fund. Your growth since my first subscription in 1953 has been amazing and all issues have given me a great satisfaction. There has always been something that has been valuable to me personally, whether it be merely an item from "tangents," a poem, a paragraph from an article, or the whole ONEderful issue.

(forwarded to ONE by a friend):

I received a letter from ONE yesterday asking for contributions. It seems that they have a deficit of $5,100. You can be sure that if they don't face the facts of life and cut expen-. ditures they will be out of business very soon. One reason for the big debt is the publishing of a Quarterly for Members. A Quarterly is nice, but if it can't pay by subscription best halt the venture before it gets any bigger. My personal feeling is that the effort of all should be given the Magazine rather than begin new publications.

Dear ONE:

Mr. X. London, England

Am enjoying sending you this one lone dollar the first of each month. The amount is small, but it is $12 more a year than I used to send when I kept waiting to get $5 ahead some month. If enough of us readers do this we can wipe out our deficit at ONE.

In "The Feminine Viewpoint'' (September, 1958) the author stated that many of us, both men and women of this "gay world," are to be blamed for our own troubles. It is so very true, and a good case of the majority being judged by the few.

I have a good position and so must lead a circumspect life. It is painful to me to see some of these people who are so sickening in their "made-up" appearance. Cannot they see
