Lr. to Director, FBI 5a 25-40 _ “You have, dear Whitteker, done and said in recent monthe things diffioult fer all of ue to underatend; that ie inevitable--how little can any of us understand even ourselves, As God grants us grace wa suspend our judgment. Here is tha heart of the metter: _ guilty or not guilty misses the point; only the shameless pride of millions of souls could bring forth a civilisation such as oure--we are all guilty, all stand bound together in need; only penitence and charity can seve us. Surely every man is but a hair's breadth from Christ and the devil, and only the final revealings will show to whom gach of us belongs. It is for this that I ory aloud: ¥riends, stand. still in the Lerd, judge not, oo . “You will remember, Whittaker, one beautiful morning last apring in Maryland we found ourselves, along with others, climbing a hill to an old country meeting house, The osk trees mursured with the new season and wa who gathered there were enveloped in the stainless silence, baptised by that Spirit which is able to make all things pure. In the widet of whatever trials may ewait you, hold that day as a Syte bel up to your inward eye and know that we are all one because He has made us ous and thet every half trath, avery judgment, strikes at every heart, rolls up on every shore. Se "My prayers and yours jotu with these of all men everywhere, wmiiting usin that Inward Xingdom where all standa Mirm and whele iu the Bidet of thie shaken, broken world. vee "I remin ever your friend, Gilbert Kilpnok - Pendle Hill _ Wallingford, Pennsylvania” - KILPAK declined to release the original of CHAMBERS reply but permitted a copy te be made which is ae follows.
