World Council Of Churches Asked To Fight Communisn Chichester, England — Protes tant church leaders from many countries tackled communism with a call to Christians to “stand squarely” for freedom. The Central Committee of tk* World Council of Churches?speak ing for 150 cluireh groups in -t-t na tions, heard Dr. W. A. Visscr 'T Hooft of Holland, their general secretary, warn: “We must stand squarely for the freedom of the church to be the church in the fullest mean ing of the word." Dr. Visser T Hooft saw some hope for embattled churches. He said there "are already many in dications” that in the countries of Communist - dominated East ern Europe, "the spirit is mov in'; with power in the congrega lions." The Dutch church leader s cal for action plunged the enntoreuee into its thorniest job — how to beat Communist anti - church pressure in the states of Eastern Europe and in Red-held China. According to conference sour ces. Dr. Visser 'T. Hooft’s demand for a firm stand in the face of state pressure is expected to stii stiff debate at the closed sessions of the churchmen, with commit tee members falling into two groups: 1.

Misfortune is sup posed to be visited upon anyone who may havi the letter in his possession and who fails to give it ail the publicity pos.-ibic. Lay Coder Stone The letter. legacy has it. lay under a stone for many centuries and on the stone was inscribed these words: "Blessed is he who shall turn me over.” No one both ered the stone until a little girl cams' alcing. and through curio sity, turned the stone over, find ing the letter under it As the sto ry runs, the child gave the letter to one who became converted to the Christian faith by reading the leter. This party kept the letter and it was handed down for more than a thousand years, finally being owned by a family who moved to Virginia, whose name was Thompson. It is claim ed the letter was published for the first time in the Dallas. Gu„ Tribune in the year 1887. A wo man who lived in Marion. Ind„ clipped the letter, and failing to have it published, is said to have been overcome by misfortune. The letter is as follows: "Whosoever works on the Sab bath day shall be cursed. I com mand you to go to church and keep the Lord’s day holy without any manner of work. You shall not idle nor misspend your time in bedecking yourself in super fluities of costly apparel and vain dressing, for I have ordered a day of rest. I will have the day kept holy that your sins be forgiven you. "You will not break my com mandments. but observe and keep tnem. mey ucms uy my hand and spoken by my mouth. You shall not only go to church yourself, but also your man-servant and your maid-ser vant. Observe niv words and .earn by commandments. "You shall finish your work every Saturday at 6 o'clock in the afternoon, which hour the preparation for the Sabbath be gins, I advise you fast five days following the remembrance of the five bloody wounds I receiv ed for you and mankind. "You shall love one another and cause them that are not bap tised to come to the church and roceivc the Holy Sacrament, that is to .-ay baptism and then the -upper of the Lord, and he made a member thereof, and in so do om I will give you lone life and many blessings. Your land shall he replenished and hr i, ; f.>rth in abundance, and I will comfort you in greatest temptation and surely he that doeth to the con trary shall be cursed. "I al-o will send hardness of the hardened and import.tent un believers. He that hath, given b the poor shall find it profitable. Remember to keep the Sabbath day. for the seventh day I have taken, as a resting up to myself. "And he that hath a copy of ! this letter written by my hand and spoken by my own mouth and doth r.ot publish it shall not pros I per. but he that publisheth it to ; others, shall be blessed by me I and if their sins be as many as | the stars by night, and if they ; truly believe, they shall be par | doned. and they that believeth 1 not this writing and my com i mandments shall have my plag | ues upon you and you will be | consumed with your children, goods and cattle and all other worldly enjoyments that I have | written you. Do but once think of what I have suffered for you. .f you do, it will Ik well for you ! in this world and the world to come. "Whoever shall have a copy of fills it ft- •• and ket p it in their houses, nothing shall hurt them, neither pestilence, thunder, nor lightning : if any woman be in birth an i put hi r trust m me she shall he delivered of her child. You shall h• :.r no more news of me. except through the Holy Scriptures until the day of judgment. All good .and pros perity shall be in the house where a copy of this letter shall be found.
