Oracle Impressed

In fact. they consumed so
many that by the time dinner
came on at II 80 their appetites
had vanished.
Nevertheless, Oracle recalls
that she was all agog with the
splendor of it all. A sumptuous
bridal decor of doves, flowers
and candies adorned each table.
But what impressed her more
than anything was the fact that
Bing Crosby and other screen
notables. whom she had admired
on the screen. were so gracious
about lending their priceless
talents TO the million dollar
impromptu entertainment that
enSued.
Dolores Del Rios first Holly
wood party brings to mind those
bllthesome events that were
known as cat parties" in the
earlier days of social Hollywood.
:. They were always scheduled
Tor Friday night. and while the
male guests attended the prize
fights. the femmes gathered at
the designated home for cock
tails until their husbands or boy
friends came on after the bouts.
Supper was then served and
the reveling usually went on far
into the night.

Blasphemies Against Holy
Christian Sacramento

ID EFERRING TO The Goddess, one OF the many
IL antireligious publications subsidized by
the Soviet Government, Bishop Richard j.
Cooke, of the Methodist Episcopal Church in
America, commented as follows:
1.-The Goddess publishes without
hindrance cartoons reviiing Christianity SO
revolving that no printing press outside OF
Russia would reproduce them. Three OF
these reveal diabo1ism beyond expression.
One represents Almighty God :. seeking
a grave in the cemetery of the Gods In
which to hide himself. Another, is work
man climbing the walls Of heaven to drag
God from his throne The third-the civil
lized world never looked upon anything so
diabolical in its expression of hatred and
contempt for the most holy sacrament OF
Christian religion /. Carlyles description
of atheistic insanity is terrible.
But this cartoon makes one shudder at the
depth of depravity to which it is possible
for human nature to sink i. The dead
Christ released from the Gross is stretched
out and lies disemboweled to gaze of all.
Here, one, with the ravages Of hunger dis
torting his face, is tearing piece of flesh
from his body. Another is gnawing like q
dog at one of His bowels; another is holding
a cup catching the blood that spouts from

Blasphemy is, and always has been, one OF

The Union of the Soviet Republics is filled

holds sacred. AS mere illustration of this kind
of writing below are reproduced two Lyrical

magazine Tdr

Wet achievements in the field OF the athel-
cation of great Christian nation. The actual
persecution of religion has assumed three diff
ferent but closely affiliated aspects
1. The wholesale murder Of the ministers of
God;
O. The physical destruction and the desecra-
tion Of the churches;
8. The incubation of blasphemous notions
into the minds of the people.
I Endless is the list of the Russian Orthodox
i !. clergy, Roman Catholic priests and Prot
estant pastors who have been murdered and
tortured to death by the Red barbarians.
The records of their martyrdom probably
will forever remain buried in the bloodstained
archives of the Chekas and the G. P. U.
But shall we forget Archbishop Andronik
Of Perm who was buried alivef
Or vassili, Archbishop of Chernigov, who
had come to Moscow to inquire about the fate
of the former, and who was cut down and killed
with his companions?
yOr Bishop Feofan, who after unspeakable
torture, was dipped several times into the
river through hole in the ice and finally
drowned in the Kamaf
Shall we forget Metropolitan Benjamin and
the other high Russian Orthodox 'dignitarles
in Petrograd who were brutally executed for
protesting against the seizure of Church
treasuresf
Shall we forget the tens of thousands of
priests who have been murdered in cold blood
for no other crime than the worship of Christi
Most of these outrages occurred during the
honeymoon months and years Of the Commu-
mist tyranny, amidst the carnival of the Red
Terror.
Since then the practice of wholesale execu-
tons of the clergy has been substituted by
more subtle but not less bestial method OF
doing them to death-by their mass incarcera-
tion in concentration camps in which life is
but painfully slow process of dying.
Even so, only one year ago, shortly after
the Reds had invaded Poland, they seized

MEMORANDUM


TNVEN since the Bolsheviks assumed the
IL rens of power in 1917, they have been and
still are, waging a cruel and relentless war
against religion in general and Christian re-
ligion in particular
The Soviet Constitution of 1918, while pro-
viding for the freedom of religious and anti
religious propaganda ARTICLE 49,, deprived
the ministers of God of all civic rights and
placed them in class along with common law
criminals (causes and g of Article 65).
The Constitution of 1924 verbatim reiterated
these provisions in Articles and 90, respec-
lively. However, Article of the 1929 version
of the Constitution was amended as follows
For the purpose of insuring to the
workers real freedom of conscience, the
Church is separated from the State, and the
school from the Church; liberty of religious
confession and of anti-religious propaganda
is recognized to all citizens
In this foul manner, the people were de-
prived of the right to engage in religious prop
uganda, for only anti-religious propaganda was
permitted. Thus the atheist grip over the Rus
sian nation was frightened by the Soviets.
Finally. the "STALIN CONSTITUTION"
OF 1896 DID NOTHING BUT CONFIRM THE
FREEDOM OF ANTLRELIGIOUS PROPA-
GANDA WITHOUT RESTORING OR EVEN
PREI ~ lOINb liii' 'ipiii
OF THE CITIZENS TO DEFEND PUBLICLY
THEIR RELIGIOUS IDEALS AND ASPlRA-
TIONS.
Moreover. on the strength of Article l22 of
the Soviet Penal Code the giving of religious
instruction in schools, whether state or private,
is punished by forced labor, while all school
masters are required to impart to the children
atheist teachings Such in brief is the legal
status of religion under the existing Soviet
legislation.

A Multitude of Ministers
Cruelty Done to Death

TINE disastrous results Of the Communist
i offensive against religion in Russia is elo-
quently illustrated by the following statement
from The Anti-Religious, 1910, No. 2, p. %:
Prior to the Revolution we read in
that Soviet magazine" there were $4,000
houses of worship and more than 100000
ministers, while practically the entire popu.
lation of Russia believed in God At present,
