Communist Sunday Schools

 
Miss Margaret Milne Farquharson, speaking recently at a meeting held for the purpose of directing public attention to the danger of Communist Sunday Schools, of which there are reported to be two hundred in the country, said that two Sundays ago one of the League’s workers went into an extreme proletarian school. About eighty children were present. There was a “comrade” in the chair. The room was hung with portraits of Lenin and Trotsky and revolutionary catchwords. The teacher was a German Jew, and he said he had been often lately in Germany, and had a passport. In Germany he was put in touch with officials from Russia, who gave him instructions for the movement. He was a clever and attractive man, and the children liked him. He gave them a lesson on starvation and unemployment, rousing as much bitterness of feeling as he could. When reference was made to revolution the children cheered, and when religion was mentioned they scoffed and jeered at the word. Major Boyd-Carpenter, M.P., declared that the first article of the Red Catechism was that there was no God; the second, that their greatest opponent was their employer; and the third, that their greatest enemy was the man who had got something they had not got. — Daily Telegraph.
