CHRISTIANS TORTURED
RUSSIA’S WAR AGAINST RELIGION NOTHING WORSE POSSIBLE LONDON, Thursdaj'. When addressing the members of the Committee of Christian Protest against religious persecution in Russia, Pastor William Fetler, director of the Russian Missionary Societies, said the Bolsheviks already had gone the limit in persecuting Christians and 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 and many tortured. One was rendered insane and others were shot. The Bible was banned. Its entry into Russia was forbidden and no religious newspapers or tracts were permitted. The Bolsheviks declared that the Evangelical Russians were worse than counter-revolutionaries, and that the sooner they wer® got rid of the better.
