FOR some considerable time the witness against godless communism has been almost silent. Whether this is due to our relationship with Russia in the War and to the marked success of the Soviet we will not take upon ourselves to say but one thing is certain that now we do not hear from the press—secular and religious—nor from the pulpit and platform (at least as reported) the warnings against godless communism which once were common. Of course all this may be part of Satan’s master plan to keep our eye fixed on a certain part of the long-drawn-out battle line while he is busily engaged in another part of the battlefield. We ought to be thankful that this type of communism has little place in British politics but there can be no doubt that there is a strong subterranean current in its favour especially among certain grades of the working classes in certain districts of the country. On the Continent, however, it is different. There this type of communism shows itself unabashed and seeks to have its principles recognized where it is sufficiently strong numerically.
