Letters to the Editor

It makes good sense To the editor: When Northumberland and Sunbury consolidated their two schools into the present Shikellamy School District many years ago, taxpayers in both communities benefited by knowing that their tax dollars were paying for only one administrative unit, one cafeteria and coaching staff, one professional and maintenance staff, one secretarial staff, etc and governed by one elected school board. Tax payers also benefited by knowing that their school tax rates would be the same in both communities and that salaried and wage employees had pay scales that were ...

The clown show continues To the editor, At what point will the clown show of right wing propaganda get so absurd that you people following it recognize how insultingly stupid they expect you to be? I pride myself on consuming mass quantities of media (a behavior I don’t recommend replicating) and lately it has become so painful to dumb myself down to understand how any of this makes any sense. I am insulted by what these people expect me to believe and I can not understand how you MAGA evangelist can bend your brains to the warped position of placing the Biden and Trump document ...

The infinite value of the death of Christ To the Editor: In an article by A.W. Pink on the death of Christ, I found the following: “The God of many a present day pulpit is an object of pity rather than of awe inspiring reverence.” To say that God the Father has purposed the salvation of all mankind, that God the Son died with the express intention of saving the whole human race, and that God the Holy Spirit is now seeking to win the world to Christ; when, a matter of common observation, it is apparent that the great majority of our fellow man are dying in sin and passing ...

Did the lights enhance your Christmas?

To the editor: “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5, NIV As another year of Shining Light Through the Darkness (SLTD) has come to a close, the massive work begins in removing all the lights, wooden fixtures and pipe tripods. Spools will be filled with long light strands and lifted to the trailer to be repaired and stored for another 9 months until SLTD work kicks off in late October 2023. Boxes will be filled with light displays and hauling the resources back to Freedom Avenue UM church will consume much of January. SLTD is a ...

Are we heading for totalitarianism? To the editor: Wikipedia: “Totalitarianism is a form of government and a political system that prohibits all opposition parties, outlaw’s individual and group opposition to the state and its claims and exercises an extremely high if not complete degree of control and regulation over public and private life.” The FBI, IRS and justice department have become weapons of the Democrat party against conservatives. Our Christian beliefs are being challenges with WOKE, CRT, and White Supremacy. Over 93 million babies have been aborted right up to and ...

Regarding the people’s business To the editor: ​​The oft-quoted but rarely applied aphorism, “government is best which governs least,” was on full display last week. For four delicious days, the wheels of the United States Congress ground to a halt as 20 House Republicans insisted on representing the people who sent them there. What a novel idea. No House Speaker for four days! The sky is falling! How embarrassing! Whereas most of us ordinary folk in the heartland lost little sleep over it, the chattering pundits whined that nothing so terrible had ever before befallen ...
