The Communists
There are ever so many who are of
the opinion that Communists, deep
down, are interested in Christianity.
This wishful thinking stems from a
laudable desire to look for the best in
their fellow men. Suppose we take a
look at the record:
“Communists intend to destroy the
church. They want to do it as quickly
and efficiently as possible. They plan *
to wipe from the memory of man all
thought of religion except as a myth be-
lieved by ignorant ancestors.”
—Helen Sigrist, former
Communist Party member
—Southern Presbyterian
Journal.
“We hate Christians and Christianity.
Even the best of them must be con-
sidered our worst enemies. They preach
love of one’s neighbor and mercy, which
is contrary to our principles. Christian
love is an obstacle to the development
of the revolution. Down with love of

The Tolerance Quotient
By William J. Teague
LOS .WGELES, Calif.—The success Xf Satan cannot
fectively measured by the number 4>f/Kristians who have I
jected righteousness for sin—although many Christians Im
fallen into this trap. Satan’s real success story is found
Christian s tolerance of sin.”
We would never give complete approval to sin but wt d
weaken our revulsion at sin. We should be hostile to ’ every M
way.” This inward hostility would do much to strengthen a
resistance and improve our powers of rejection when Ski
offers himself as a friend. 'Satan is a dangerous, implacii
enemy with designs of conquest on every soul. We must I
treated as a militant enemy.
We rather enjoy the satisfying feeling which Satan supph
when we raise our “tolerance quotient.” It makes us fe
“democratic” or ‘ blase” or “cosmopolitan" or “mature" 1
reject the word "worldly” but graciously embrace these popak
expressions which connote Satan’s approval.
The next step is pride clothed as humility. We have-I
our minds — condescended to the level of the sinner so he’ll ■
feel “inferior” because he lacks a commitment to God. "1
are we to teach another’’” we often ponder. To avoid a condea
ing conscience, smarting under the injunctions of the greit ta
mission to teach al) nations, we conclude that people »rei
saved and our action unneeded This is no better than siothft
ness.
We must love man; but hate sin - Let's be wary of a nti
"tolerance quotient."

—Anatole Lunarcharsky,
former Russian Commissar
of Education
—U.S. Cong. Record, Vol. 77,
pp. 1539-40.
“Have we suppressed the reactionary
clergy? Yes, we have. The unfortunate
thing is that it has not been completely
liquidated.”
—Stalin, “Leninism,”
Vol. I, p. 387.
“Marxists believe that ’Thou shalt
not steal’ and ‘Thou shalt not covet’
are examples of the dominant class try-
ing to impose respect for property on
the exploited masses who cannot help
but covet the wealth and property of
their masters.”
—“The Naked Communist,”
pp. 51, 2.
“Law, morality, religion are ... so
many . . . prejudices, behind which
lurk in ambush just as many bourgeois
interests.”
—“Communist Manifesto”
The Bible is “a collection of fantastic
legends without any scientific support.
It is full of dark hints, historical mis-
takes and contradictions,
a factor for gaining power and
jugating the unknowing nations.”
—“Young Bolshevik.”
quoted from
“The Naked Communist”
“We must combat religion—this is
the ABC of all materialism, and con-
sequently Marxism.”
—Lenin, “Religion,” p. 14
“Marxism cannot be conceived with-
out atheism. We would add here that
atheism without Marxism is incomplete
and inconsistent.”
—Lenin, “Religion.”
The question directed to the Corin-
thians by Paul has a peculiar time-
liness. It needs to be directed to
Christians who are in danger of being
taken in by Communism: “What con-
cord hath Christ with Belial? or what
portion hath a believer with an unbe-
liever?” (2 Cor. 6:15.)
Forget About The Good Things
By Bob Wear
Chronicle Staff Writor
CANYON, Tex.—We human
beings have great capacities for
good in many areas of life,
but the good done depends
upon how much we care. A
home can be made strong and
happy when all members of
the family care enough to do
their part The great American
public school system can be
made just as adequate ‘ as it
needs to be if a sufficient num-
ber of people care.
Our com-
munities will
be the right
kind of
places to
live so long
as the peo-
ple who live
in them care
e n o u g h to
give their
share of
c o m m u-
nity service. Christianity, as a
pattern for living, will survive
so long as people care enough
to respect its ideals and prin-
ciplea. Our concept of self-gov-
ernment will navar srrioh
from the earth if ”'e care
enough to accept our responsi-
bility for being good citizens.
At some point in the course
of life, most folk dedicate them-
selves to the ideals and con-
cepts generally accepted aa be-
ing Important. These people sin-
cerely care about such things.
