RE D Smith’s letter of October 29, I know religion and politics have no answers to the problems in our society.

I often thank God that my two brothers, sister and I were each encouraged to read our Holy Bible daily. We are all now retired and continue to do so.

The Holy Bible has the answers for which people are searching. I challenge D Smith, and anyone else for that matter, to read a page of the Bible daily – takes about five minutes – and ask God to speak through it. Start with John’s Gospel.
