JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES SIR,—The Jehovah's Witnesses in one of their tracts

pose the question : 'Is a Christian in favor [I] of remaking this old world and so in favor of the United Nations?'

The answer given is, 'No. The true Christian is not for remaking this old world, since God's Word dooms it to destruction. • The Christian therefore does not take part in the filthy, corrupt politics of the world. . . . The Christian cannot therefore be in favour of the United Nations.' (Christendom or Christianity, pages 27 and 28.) Perhaps, as it is claimed by the Witnesses that 8,000,000 copies of this tract have been distributed, we should not be too complacent about the 'complacent comradeship of the saved.'—:Yours faithfully,
