Christian | December 21, 1918 issue

add to cart   close window

This article presents information on a rumor spread in Soviet Russia, about the arrival of Jesus Christ in the country. The lowly Russians believed, that they are making ready, a perfect people, prepared for the coming of the Lord. That's why there was so little killing, looting, burning, in Petrograd, Moscow, Vladivostok--wherever and so long as the mob reigned supreme. The Russian people heard voices. Like children, they heard many voices speaking to them out of the distance in the darkness. And they were afraid. For of all the voices which they heard calling into their darkness to them, there were but two that spoke for them; according to their needs; in their interest.
