New Doctor To Open Office We Meet All City Prices EASY TERMS Pat F ullcr Winter Queen No longer can we say China is a long way away. It is only an hour or two away. No longer are we separated East and West. Anything that the Kremlin does affects the whole world. We can’t ignore it ,emphasized Mr. Millin. Thereâ€"are half a million Can- adians ready to march under the communist banner. ' Mr. Millin went on to speak of China where he had been a missionary for 20 years, and a prisoner of both the Japanese and the Communists. People Too Complacent About Communism Says Leslie Millin At All Saints Church last week. Rev. Leslie Millin spoke on “What really is going on be- hind the Iron Curtain." Mr. Millin. before coming to Toronto, had attended a mission- ary conference at Detroit where missionaries from the Far East, Italy and Russia itself had dis- cussed the same significant thing, the encroachment of com- munism on the world. Mr. Mil~lin quoted from a let- ter written by a French com- munist, criticizing Christians. “You Christians. do not practise the gospel. You give very little money toward the church. You are afraid to soil your hands. We communists do not play with words we are realists,” stated the letter. The communists, emphasized Mr. Millin, practise the Marxist policy and the doctrine of peace. The Sermon on the Mount with- out God. They leave out the very central power." ing Donnelley.

If we don’t what happened to Chi- na will happen to us, stated Mr. Millin. ‘ In conclusion, Mr. Millin said it was a hard message to speak. It is very hard to shake people out of their complacency. We are not prepared to accept the challenge. Rather would we seek to coaexist beside communism anything but war. While waiting for the Libera- tion Army to arrive the boy di- vulged to Mr. Millin the names of several people in the govern- ment and mission school who had collaborated with the com- munists. The communists kept their promises to the people for two months then began a purge, executing people ,turnlng child- ren against their parents. Young children were forced to witness the executions. Mr. Millin him- self was interrogated in the People’s Court beyond his phys- ical strength. After several blackouts he was taken to the hospital. Before the Liberation Army arrived, a little lad of 13 years of age came to the Mission com- pound as a representative of the Liberation party to act as a go- beween between the mission nd the party.
