Page 24

The page treats Christian belief as a single unrepeatable event and closes with the claim that it can still be told.

Correcting the final line changes the force of the page. The speaker is not stopping at silence here; he insists that the once-only event remains tellable despite its uniqueness.

A six-line creed built on a single hinge: 'WE HAVE READ ABOUT / him, really happened, / it is just that it / only happened once'. The faith claim is granted ('really happened') but quarantined by its unrepeatability ('only happened once'). The handwritten close, 'And we can tell', turns the page from doubt toward testimony - the once-only event remains sayable, witness surviving the absence of recurrence. Compact theology where the whole weight rests on 'once' against 'tell'.
