Mr, Samuel Shenton International Flat Earth Society Dover, England
Dear Mr. Shenton;^ We have recently read with great interest an article
about pov and the Flat Earth Society. Our seventh grade general science classes have compiled a list of questions we would like to confront you with concerning your theory about a flat earth, A reply from you would be greatly appreciated, A self addressed envelope is included.Thank you.
The questions are as follows:1, When there is an eclipse of the moon, why is
there a circular shadow on the moon?2, How do you explain night and day?3, How do you explain seasonal changes?4, How did Magellan sail around the world?5, Why doesn't the whole world have daylight at
once?6, Where is the cut-off point off the world?7, Explain a ship”sinking”in the horizon as it
leaves.Sincerely yours

will not do it. “You must be BUKJN AliAlJN." (John 3:7.)
As at physical birth you receive life which you never possessed before, so, by the NEW BIRTH you receive Life which you never possessed before even in the most minute degree. By physical birth we become partakers of the human nature, by being BORN AGAIN we become “partakers of the Divine nature.” (II Pet. 1:4.) The Second Birth is not an improvement of the old nature, it is the imparting of a NEW nature — entirely NEW. The old nature is unimproved and

Samuel Shenton, Secretary- Flat Earth Society 24, London Road Dover, Kl'TGIANDDeal* Mr. Shenton;Recently I liad the pleasure hearing you speak on television with Pierre Berton ahout your theories on the shape of the earth and heavens. I have heard of your society before but this v/as the first opportunity I have evez' had to learn anything at all about it.I must say you have an intriguing point of view. Since the half-1
hour broadcast was hai'dly long enough to fully grasp its import, have you possibly published any literature or charts which explain everything fully which I might purchase please. I hope you can find a ^loment while ansv^ering your other correspondence to consider Tiy inquiry too. Enclosed is an OGTlAl''!?® for youi’ convenience.Thank you.
Sincerely yours,

15 OCT 196Dear Mr Shenton,I am writing to thank you for your help in compiling ay
training prograame on the concept of a flat earth. It was only intended as an exercise in television technique, and therefore I used those examples which were m*st easily visualised. The direct observation experiments used by the nineteenth-century writers came over very well, and your own explanation of the satellite photographs. It was a pity that the limited scope of the programme did not allow me t© make use of your weather map information.
One result has been a very lively discussion here among many people have never considered the subject before, nor the feasability of an alternative explanation. If it has done nothing else, the programme has made them re-examine the evidence for themselves, and I think that you yourself would hope for little more than this.
Once again let me thank you for taking up your time on By behalf, and I am sending you a cheque for two guineas from the Cente for Educational Television,

Dear Mr. Shenton,Recently my local newspaper, th.e
Democrat and Glironicle (Rochester), carried an article concerning your explanation of the concept of a flat earth as related to U.S. Astronauts Conrad and Gordon]s space journey of a few weeks ago.
Although unconvinced, I was fascinated by your theories and by the idea of a ’’Plat Earth Society" in general. Consequently, I was wondering whether it would be possible for you to send me any booklets or pamphlets the Society may publish, and information about the origin, purposes and membership regulations of the Flat Earth Society. Anything you send would be appreciated. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Robert E. S^rry
