A HORRIBLE REVELATION

The cry Of horror and indignation
which has come from the mouths of
Jews and Gentiles. from Protestants
and Catholics alike all over the civ
ilized world against the ruthless.
murderous assault Of bolshevism on
religion has not had its like in re-
corded history. 1t is idle for bolshe-
vism to protest that Butchkavitch
was a traitor. All the evidence shows
that the incentive is purpose to de-
stroy religion Ia Russia.
A country has a right to protect it
self against traitors if it does so by
methods which command respect.
Bo,shevism has no such methods.
VIGOROUSLY it has no courts worthy
Of the name Of tribunals. Its de-
crees are merely those of the will of
the most cruel autocracy on earth. a
will uninfluenccd by evidence, by
compassion or tolerance or by recog-
milton of any right except its own
might. The charge of treason from
such a source is not worthy Of cred
once, though it may be admitted that
in all probability Butchkavitch re-
fused to cease religious instruction,
that he opposed sequestration of
church property; but this is not
treason, unless it be treason to a
Goddess state. Such, communism I'M
doubtedly would make Russia. If 1t
could have its way. Precisely this is
what this attempt to terrorize Chris
tians amounts to, from all the evil
dence which the world has.
Among this evidence is the state
ment made by TrotZky in his Die
tatorship VS.. Democracy" in which
he describes: "Christianity. like all
other religions" to be "a method OF
deadening the consciousness OF the
oppressed masses" And again: 1.-THE
question of who is to rule this coun-
try will be decided. by the employ
ment Of all forms of violence" ane
again: There is no other way OF
breaking the class will of the enemy
except the systematic and energetic
| use of violence" and 1.-THE man who
