 The church was filled with mem- bers and friends of Zion church, who joined in singing My Country 'tis of Thee" in keeping with Sunday as Freedom Sunday" and as memor- ial tribute to the pioneers of Zion church. Before dedicating the me- moSial gifts the pastor expressed the appreciation of the congregation to theh, donors who had generously given these memorials as birthday gifts to the church.
 At the same time he announced that the appeal for funds for the Golden Jubilee had met a very gen. erous response, and that the goal Of two thousand dollars had been pass ed, as over two thousand eight hun dred dollars has been pledged. It has made 1t possible to make number of improvements in the church, some of which have not as yet been com- pleted. The Golden Jubilee year of Zion Church will close on the last Sunday in December.

great cities, but even to the peas~ ants. The working men in the greas cities, who lived for the most pAre In the big business peiple. The peasants, who never had enough land. and often no land at all, were equally bitter. Hence the promises of social justice held out to both by Marxian leaders were SO attrnce tive as to make the masses Eerle~ what indifferent to the Goddess char@ acter of MarXian doctrines and the Communists who took control o1 ussian government.
 The methods used by the Goddess Communists minority were extreme~ ly clever. It was always the law thMe men should be able to practice their religion: but many methods Of kilL~ ing religion were actually pus into force. The vast maffiority of cfTlrche es were closed on various pretextSs religious education was forbidden children while they were carefully educated to hate and despise rec liglon of all forms; the clergy were frequently imprisoned, banished, cH eNeCuVeQ, bklQ U tkGuAeAAdohS pAVRoN ganda against religion was set oH9 foot.
 It is @ striking fact that in spite of this religion has survived in the hearts of vast number of ussian& and that its practice is carried on secretly to @ degree that constantly disturbs the Communist governmerle
 
 But even realizing all this, there le no reason why America should noe cooperate with Russia at present. Questions of cooperation between governments are decided not by churches but by governments; and the judgment of the individual iw not a religious but Q moral one. Considering that the general ethical test has to cope with human rights the issue in this case becomes clear. The pagan Nazi government attacks the pagan Russian government In doing so 1t takes the rights of mile lions of Russians. It is an entirely moral thing that these Russians should defend their human rights and other nations should give them aid in defending their rights if such aid seems to be needed.
