robbery. The Bible says: “The fool hath said in his heart, ‘there is no God,’ ” and

Marx and his associates and successors and followers with their atheistic philosophy
prove themselves to be the biggest parcel of fools that ever walked the earth. They are
going to right the ills of the world by aggravating their cause, which is SIN, to the Nth
degree. They have advocated and resorted to SIN in its most extreme and abhorrent

forms! Christ and Christianity are out to deal with SIN, the root of the whole trouble.
Christianity recognizes classes in human society and inequalities, but makes no effort
to level classes. It meets the problem with the message of the love of God Who has
atoned for SIN through the death of His Son, and to every one who accepts this

message He gives power to gain victory over SIN─selfishness, pride, lust, greed, and

History shows that where the principles of Jesus Christ have prevailed even in
partial measure there has been the finest relationship between labor and management

Communism were about to be exterminated by the legions of Adolph Hitler, they
screamed to high heaven for aid from the Capitalist United States, where religion still
prevailed that Lenin said was “The opiate of the people.” It is to the perpetual

discredit of President Franklin Roosevelt that he rushed help to the extent of 14 billon
dollars worth of war material to those earth-wreckers, who before and since have tried
to destroy all that the United States of America has stood for from the beginning of its
history. We aided in the defeat and destruction of a lesser evil, the demons of

Hitlerism to preserve what now turns out to be a greater one, the DEVIL of Stalinism.

Marx and Hegel

Hegel was the German thinker from whom many of Karl Marx’s theories were

derived. He was the Court Philosopher of Friedrich Wilhelm III and the author of
what is called “The Dialectic”. The dialectic has been defined as “The theory of the
union of opposites.”

It is not our purpose in this paper to go into these matters in detail which have been
dealt with in many masterly works, but only to give a bare outline.

The theory of Hegel is that the history of the world is that of a continuous cycle of
