"He eays if you print his name, bis wife and family would be murâ€" cered. And if you print the name of l:is denomination, all those of that denomination in Soviet Russia would be pereecuted." | _ But Rev. Mr/"X" shall tell it in )Hs own was. "Twice I was ordered to be shot by jlho secret police employed by the Soviet. The charge against me was }that 1 was making people foolish by converting them to Christianity. And so this story is told by an vnnamed person, Rev. Mr. "X", an ordained minister of an unnamed deâ€" nomination which has many churches in this city of churches. His photograph appears, for Rev. Mr. "X" declares he is changed s0 much with the yeare of horrors and worrows, and by the removal of a flowing beard, that he would not be recognized from It. During the few days of his stay in Toronto â€"he left recently for Winâ€" nipeg. where a son and daughter are attending high achool and university â€"Rev. Mr. "X" has related his exâ€" periences in the Soviet Republic only to the Canadian Christian Cruâ€" sade and to The Telegram, trusting to their promises not to reveal his jcentity or whereabouts. A short, slight man with graying Liack hair and shadowed brown eyes which seemed to deepen and darken as he recalled the sights which his quick volce described. Rev. Mr. "X" bears on his face marks left by sufâ€" fering. He speaks no English, and The Telegram‘s questions and his anâ€" ewers were all translated by a Rueâ€" #ian resident of the city, himself a minister of another Protestant deâ€" romination. Taken To Executionâ€"Room And sitting in the small Ifvingâ€" room of an average Toronto home, Rev. Mr. "X" told in graphic senâ€" tences of how he was taken to a room "about twice the size of this" to be killed, and of how the man who tried to raise his hand against him "was paraly#ed eatitely." _ Rev. Mr. "X" said many had faint ed by the time there were ordered out. Fortunately the officer in charge of the party had previously been & friend of Rev. Mr. "X", and he told him theat if he fell down while they | were marchng to the big ditch which | was to be the grave of the 58, he would let him escape. This he did, ‘and for a long time wandered in ‘hiding in the mountaine. | "Too Terrible To Relate" But he continued to preach the goapel, and in 1924 was again arreatâ€" ed at a revival service in a amail mountain village. It was during the ‘m:xt seven months of his eecret im |â€"prisonment that Rev. Mr. "X" claime he wtnessed things &0 terrible that ‘ many of them he will not relate. "I was one of fiftyâ€"eight people who were to be shot. We had to be taken to another place, and so they got a freight car ready, and ordered ne all to take human manure from the atation. They made us fill the car kneeâ€"deep with it, and then they put us all in there and took us to the place. We were in the car four hours." â€" ‘‘The room where prisoners were taken to be exterminated" (the inâ€" terpreter‘s word) was about twice as large as this once," he said, "with a floor apecially made so that the blood would run down to an Openâ€" ingâ€"a drain.

SEEDING GENERAL saAYys CoOUNTY REPRESENTATIVE CHAUTAUQUA PROGRAMS ENJOYED BY CROWDS The town hall, Waterloo, was well filled for the seven concerts presentâ€" ed by the Canadian Chautaugua Friâ€" day and Seturday and Monday and Tuesday.

Rae, chairman of the local committee, acted as chairman _ and _ introduced _ Miss Young and Mr. Erickson, whoâ€"foundâ€" ed the Chautauqua seventeen years eg0. The event will be a colorful one, a feature being the trooping of the regimental colors. The Canadian Fusiliers are coming to Kitchener as guests of the Scots Fusiliers of Canade. A most impreseive religlous drama "The Home of the Other Mary", was presented by the choir and Sunday school of the St. Saviour‘s Church, Waterloo, and enjoyed by patients at the Freeport Sanatorium Wednesâ€" day"night. "How long are they kept there?" aeked The Telegram. "I was fastened there for two hours," said Rev. Mr. "X". "One of my friends was left for 17 hours and he went insane. This form of torâ€" ture is «pecially used with ministers, officers and the general intelligentia who are considered responsive to it. They are continually questioned to obtain confeseions from them, and then they are shot or killed in some other way." Saw Five Men Killed Rev. Mr. "X" stated that the first time he was chained in the execution room, five men were killed in his presence. 8 â€" "Another time when several of us ; were fastened in the niches they, brought in a young girl. First they aesaulted her in front of us, and then they shot her, but not at once. They made her walk up and down the room, and first they shot her in the arm and so on, until she fell unconâ€" scious, and then they finished her with a shot in the back of the head. "They cut them up with sabres," he said. "First they would cut a hand off, and then a foot, and so on, Another time I saw two men dife. One was hacked to pieces and the other hanged. "The lest time they took me to that room they didn‘t tie me. They: began to take my clothes off me but I told them I would undress myself, and I did so. Then, knowing they were going to kill me, I asked perâ€" miaeion of the officer to tell them a lsst wordâ€"to make a speech. He gave me the permission. "And I eald to the five men, that if it was the will of God, they would kill me, and if not, they couldn‘t do anything to me. The name of the leader was Yakovenko. One of them ‘mnmed Cepkoc jumped to his feet and sald: ‘I will prove to you that your God will not save you from our hands,‘ and he blasphemed God in a horrible way. ‘"But when he Taised his hand to kill, he was paralyzed entirelyâ€"his whole body was paralizedâ€"he could not move. PRESENT ‘‘The other men dragged him to a bench and I dressed myself meanâ€" while, and eaid, ‘Now will you let me go" They were &0 frightened that they put me in another room and left me alone." 8 Britain Secures Reloase Rev. Mr. "X" atated that he was unmolested for a time, and that he managed to communicate in secret with the English Consul, who inâ€" cluded his name among othera whose release was requested and obtained by the British Government as being leaders of religions movements. "Wvery month I wase supposed to regleter with the police," continued Rev. Mr. "X", "but I escaped to the mountains again. I wase hunted for a long time. In 1928 I aucceeded in geiting a passport and crossing the border. I was ordered to tell only good and nice things about the RELIGIOUS DRAMA ‘"And do you?" queried The Teleâ€" gram. â€" Soviet when I was abroad, and to make regular reports on things in cther countries." Rev. Mr. "X" laughed aloud, but it was a grim laugh, and the flood of words translated by the interpreter were incisive. "No, and if I had the opportunity I would kill all the Communistsâ€" all the Bolshevists. I would think that the Lord would bless me for doâ€" ing «o. It would be the same rightâ€" eous thing as the extermination of the Philistines as ordered by God in the Old Testament." Rev. Mr. "X" explained that when freed in 1924 he was required to sign a special pledge that he would never tell any of the things be had witâ€" neesed, but he does not feel bound by it. Wife is Sentenced "But I have to be terribly careful because if they found out I had broken that pledge they would wipe out my family. My wife was arrested in 1931 and kept eix months in a seâ€" cret prison, She was convictedâ€"I don‘t know what the charge was, it was probably only because she was my wifeâ€"and «entenced to three years of exile and hard labor on an Classz'fied Want Ad in the Waterloo Chronicle will SELL IT for YOU !

Mr. "X" has written several books on conditions in Soviet Rusâ€" sie, but they are published under anonymous authorship. One has run through six German editions, and has been translated into almost all European languages. It will shortly be published in English. ~ Stories From Germany Untrue It is less than a month since Rev. Mr. "X" left Germany where he has heen living and lecturing.

"If he hedn‘t, the Communists would have been the ruin of the country. Because most of the Comâ€" munists are Jews, this great uproar has arisen that they are being perseâ€" cuted. "Hitler has removed all the godâ€" less teachers and professors from the echools and colleges, and has reâ€" stored the study of the Bible. Many o‘ the deposed persons are Jews, and that has added to their cries of perâ€" secution. "It is strange that the rest of the world doesn‘t raise an outery over the state of affaire in Russia, where many cruel leaders are Jews disâ€" guised by Russian names, instead of protesting at the actions of a man whose rule will save Germany from Communi¢m." Rev. Mr. "X" has been an ordained minister for 22 years. He is now 57 yeare old. His plans are for lecâ€" tures in various parts of Canada, and then he will probably return to Gerâ€" many. He told The Telegram that he is now ‘"in very good health" and feels that has recovered from the effects of his prison experiences, alâ€" though etill very much worrled over the situation of his wife and chilâ€" dren in Ruseia.
