Vern's
First Publication
In 1958, Vern (age 16) spent all his summer earnings
to publish
this Fundamentalist tract to hand out to his high
school friends.
Shortly after the school year began,
he read Thomas Paine's Age of Reason and
then Bertrand Russell's "Why I am not a Christian,"
became a militant atheist, and dumped boxes and
boxes of of these tracts into the trash.
