BY BISHOP CHARLES H. BRENT

Senator Borah was quoted a while
ago as denominating bolshevism dis
ease. Judging from the recently trans.
lated bolshevik Bible which the Com.
munist party of Great Britain has
translated from Russian and published
in English under the name of The
A b G of Communism. y bolshevism Is
not disease: it is A new and formi.
da hle world religion.
Russia is to the outside world as
darkest Africa used to be. No one
has any complete grasp of the situa-
tion. But il Is pretty clear that bol.
shevism has established itself as a
new force in the history of govern
ment. The A B G of Communism
explains why and how.

IT bears kin to the Koran and the
whole movement is singularly like Mo-
nammeda nism. Its prophet is Lenin.
one Of the most powerful leaders and
most relentless in loyalty to an ideal in
history. The religion is universal in
sweep. The proletariat is the instru.
ment. 1t is conversion or the sword.
You must Join the proletariat or die.
The bourgeoisie and every other class
must be obliterated. I'm extreme
cases the workers government must
not hesitate to use the method of the
terror. Ihere are no etnlcS OF prog

State will gradually die out; society
as a whole will be transformed into a
Communist society in which there
will be no classes
All other religions must go. Chris.
tian priests are grouped with prosti.
tutes and termed parasites. Religion
is the opium Of the people" and the
deadly foe of Communism. But every
one must embrace Communism with
religious passion. 'Comrade Lenfn
wrote very truly that our task was to
see that every cook should be taught
to take her share in governmental ad-
ministration." The sense Of vocation
such as l have seen in fanatical Mo
hammedans Is being inculcated

one another Of all the crimes of which

Dear Mr.. President:
My daughter got a scolding when
she came back and told me that she
had left Washington before your
kind invitation TO call reached her.
She told me she wrote her eNplana

May it not break some day all on a

The French would probably have

to being infinitely sad, the whole
world is. going lying mad and cred
ulously stupid. Now. people can't
recover from this abnormal state
overnight. These little incidents hint
big Of the demoralizatio of the mind
and OF the character OF men.
The Germans are indescribably an
sry with the British. They question
and criticize everything. At bottom
they hate and distrust us also. The
English are slow beycnd any. decent
patience. The Austria ms mecha nical-
ly follow the Germa ms in their restric-
tions. The Turks ask twice a day
bout their consuls. Untruthful mer-
chants in the United States misinform
our own Government. The British
admiralty and war Office cause in
terminable delay. l never know what
a day will bring. Depression hangs
over everybody like London fos
But all these are incidental-are as
nothing, If we keep fair and consid.
crate dealing, these two governments
with one another: for upon this hangs
the destiny of the world. The prime
minister and Sir Edward Grey never
forget this. and / use their apprecia.
tion Of our friendship as far as it is
manly to use 1t. And their attitude
will enable us to pull through.
AS l say, all else is of minor con.
sequence. Ours. OF course. is the
future Of the world. When the world
