The hideous face Of atheistic world
communism at long last Is unveiled for
all who have eyes to see. It is the most
monstrous mass of organized evil that
history has known. 1t is the sum Of all

abysmal tyranny of this abomination
of denominations it becomes evident that
the whole spiritual concept in which the
Free World has been nurtured is not
only ridiculed, but held in complete
contempt. A keen student of what &C
