BIBLE STUDENTS’ TENETS
SIMILAR TO COMMUNISM ACCORDING TO GERMAN JUDGE BERLIN, May 31. (Received May 31, at 11.55 p.m.) Forty-two former members of the banned International Society of Bible Students were sentenced to terms ranging from four to 18 months. The judge said he was not punishing them owing to their religious convictions but because they belonged to an organisation whose tenets were similar to Communism, though they sought to hide their aims under the mantle of religion. They tried to undermine the foundations of the State, therefore their doctrines must constitute anarchy.
