DEAR ABBY: In response to your column in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, "Abby Takes Heat for Printing the Ten Commandments" -- let me offer this response.
Just think of all the readers you touched and informed with your column on the Ten Commandments. Bravo! And even the criticism was a learning experience for both you and your millions of readers. Mahatma Gandhi said it best: "Throughout my life I have gained more from my critic friends than from my admirers, especially when the criticism was made in a courteous and friendly manner."
So, Abby, keep on keeping on. Your "critic friends" are alert and concerned readers. As the cynic would say, "I don't know what you're doing wrong -- but keep it up!"
Shalom. -- FATHER GUY GURATH, IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH, JUNEAU, WIS.
DEAR FATHER GUY: Thank you for the kind words. I was surprised by the amount of critical mail my column generated.
