WAR ON RELIGION
THE SOVIET’S POLICY. (By Cable—Press Assn.—Copyright.) LONDON, December 13. Addressing the Committee of Christian Protest Against the Religious Persecution in Russia, Pastor William Fetler, the Director of the Russian Missionary Society, said that the Bolsheviks already had gone the limit in persecuting the Christians, and they could not do anything worse. • He recently met in Riga, the leader of the Evangelical Russians, who stated that hundreds of Christian leaders had been imprisoned, many of whom were tortured. One was rendered insane, while others were shot. The Bible was banned. Its entry into Russia was forbidden, and no religious newspapers or tracts permitted. The Bolshevists declared that the Evangelicals were worse than the counter-revolu-tionaries, and that the sooner they were got rid of the better.
