The Church Quarterly Review for October gives an account at
first hand of the persecution of the Christian Church in Russia by the Bolsheviks, whose Terror is " built up on the power of intrigue of the Oriental Jew." No religious education may be given to children. The seminaries have been suppressed and the monasteries destroyed so that there may be no more monks to fill the episcopal chairs. No religious publications are permitted. Even the Patriarch must obtain permission to hold a service. Processions have been forbidden since May last, when the people of Petrograd turned out in their thousands to march to the cathedral, much to the annoyance of the Bolsheviks. Tho writer of the article, who has recently returned from Russia, expresses grave doubts as to the wisdom of giving the Bolsheviks supplies of food which may be used for the Red Army.
