Beloved, the spirit of Bolshevism is
as old as the history of man and as
black as the heart of hell. We are &C I
customed to think of Bolshevism al
recent thing, but it is as old as
man, for it is nothing less than the
spirit of rebellion against God crys- :.
talized into human thought and ac-l
tion. But, while this is true in a gen.
eral way, it is also true that the
thing we call Bolshevism today is oft
comparatively recent origin. But I'll
is much older than most of us think.
We used to think that Bolshevism
was an outgrowth of the world war.
Now We know that the world war was
part of the program of Bolshevism.
In order to understand this, and,
indeed, in order to understand any
thing of this momentous subject, we
must 60 back to the very beginning
OF this Child of Hate and He'll, for
no other word than that will describe
i, and get it's full awful story.
In 1905, nine years before the great
world war began, a company of men,
evidently inspired and guided by tn"
devil himself, met in the Russian city
called Tsrkao-Selo at that time one
OF the official residences of the Car
himself and under the shadow of the
imperial residence itself, these fiendY
or the pit met to make out a world
program of death, destruction and
desolation, and. in order to blind the
eyes of men to their real purpose, in
order to give religious significance
to what they proposed to do, they had
the brazen effrontery to call them
selves the Elders of Zion, and in do
ing so they did nothing less than to
reach up and slap God in the face.
These men, inspired as we say, un-
questionably by the devil himself,
made out and wrote solemnly down
what they called a protocol, giving a
world program that they proposed to
carry out, and the horror of it is
that they are carrying it out. Many
copies of this program were made at
that time, and then very mysteriously
those copies were all bought up be-
fore they got out of Russia and sup
pressed or destroyed. All? No, not
all One man preserved copy. He
went to meeting of the Initiated
(as they called themselves) in France.
After that meeting, in which this pro-
tocol was displayed and discussed,
that paper was stolen from him. BY
smart man? All, no. this is wom-
ans day, you know, now Stolen by
Il woman, and by her given to one,
Professor Nylus, statesman and teach
er in Russia, who tried for ten years
to get that paper before the world,
and every effort that he made was
rlet in the most mysterious, diabolicaI
/ way by sleuth of this bunch of eld-
ers who made the protocol At last,
after all kinds of difficulties he final
ly succeeded in escaping from Rus
sia and got into England, and thai

''Oh, we'll, somebody would say at
once, but how do we know that ii

Yes, it may be- but it is not. That

monstrous thing today, let us under
stand that We are not talking about
a myth or a fable. We are talking
about a thing that actually exists.
Now, what did this protocol con-

propose to do? Nothing less than this
