Editor, New Era:

Recently, a letter appeared on this page from a beverage distributor who had been denied heating oil from an oil distributor because the oil man said that he was a Christian and that he would not sell oil to a man who sells beer.

I wish that the beverage man would have included the name of the Christian in his letter.

I do not drink beer, but if the Christian were my oil man, I'd cancel my contract with him for being so narrow-minded!
