Thomas Spitz of St. Louis, told his listeners at the fall Lutheran laymen’s league seminar held Sunday evening at St. Peter’s Lutheran church. The speaker said that Communism teaches there is no God, that man is a material machine, and that he is merely the result of his economic environment. The Rev. Fred Droegemueller, host pastor, conducted the opening and closing devotion. Wade Tyler served as moderator and introduced the speaker.

perialism to Christianity. Hinduism and Buddhism may actually prepare the native mind to accept Communism. In Latin America, the natives are told that it was a Christian nation which conquered them 400 years ago. Since the conflict is basically between atheism and Christianity, the speaker encouraged every Christian to begin with himselfin the home, at work, and in the community, and live a vigorous, fighting faith. Earlier in the day, the Rev. Spitz had a taped interview on his work which will be broadcast over radio station WKJG Wednesday evening at 7 o'clock.
