Grow in Persecution

Under persecution, partly invited by their own uncompromising intolerance of all other beliefs, they have grown in 50 years from an obsecure little sect into a full-fledged religious movement that is perhaps the most militant and aggressive in the world. In America they are attacked as Nazis, as Communists, as “fifth columnists.” In most other nations as subversive influences. In Germany they toil in concentration camps bv thousands.
