EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD READ THE THRILLING LIFE-STORY OF PASTOR BASIL MALOF “Tried in the Kremlin, Sentenced to Siberia, Exiled from Russia and God’s Wonderful Deliverance.” Founder of the First Russian Protestant Churches of St. Petersburg and Moscow, Russia, now President of the Russian Bible Society of Washington, D. C. Thomas Spurgeon, president of the Pastors College, London, England, wrote in the Annual Report of the College: “ If the Pastors *College has done nothing else, since my great father’s death than train a man like Pastor Malof, it has been worth while to continue its existence.” Please observe: A Free Gift Copy of this interesting life-story personally autographed by Pastor Malof, Presi dent of the Russian Bible Society, with his famous unique motto, “ 100% for Christ,” will be sent to every donor of one Bible ($2.00) or more.
In view of the great threat of the next atomic world war, everything pos sible must be done to mini mize or avert that danger, which would cost millions of lives and may be the most terrible bloodshed on American soil. TO SEND THE BIBLES TO RUSSIA IS THE FIRST LINE DEFENSE OF AMERICA. The Russian Bible Soci ety had already printed, after the first world war, the largest edition of Rus sian Bibles in history, 81,- 000 copies. Over sixty thou sand of these Bibles are already behind the Iron Curtain, doing a mighty

work of God. Ways and channels have been secured to get the Bibles into Russia. The need is so great that the Russian Bible Society, with the Headquarters in the former Italian Embassy, now known as the Bible House of Washington, has decided to print ONE MILLION Bibles for distribu tion among the Russian people. God’s human instrument in this mighty undertaking is one of Russia’s most experienced Christian leaders, the exiled Russian mis sionary, Pastor Basil A. Malof. Graduate of Spurgeon’s Theological College of London, he became Founder of the First Russian Protestant Churches of St. Petersburg and Moscow, was innocently accused, tried in the Kremlin, sentenced to Siberia and finally banished from Russia. He is admirably fitted to lead the movement, as Presi dent of the Russian Bible Society, in a mighty endeavor to overcome wicked Communism by the Word of God. Every American Christian, of all churches and groups, should without delay hasten to the help of this great undertaking in publishing one million Bibles for the Russian people. How eager the Russian people are for the Gospel,' may be seen from these two examples from Soviet Russia. One poor Russian peasant and his wife, whose only earthly possessions consisted of one horse and a cow, after their conversion became so eager to read the Bible, that they gave up their only cow to secure the only Bible in the whole county, though they had three small children who needed the milk as much as our American children need it. When Pastor Malof smuggled a sackful of Bibles into Russia through the help of a converted boatman, and instructed this brother to allow only one Bible for a whole village, the peasants on the market place surrounded the horse cart on which he was standing, each one stretching out their hands and crying: “ Give to me, give to me!” The only way to satisfy everybody was for him to tear out page after page from the whole Bible, and to give to each peasant man and woman just a leaf of two pages from Genesis to Revelation. This great hunger of the Russian people for the Bread of Life must be speedily satisfied by all American Chris tians to whom the Lord is saying today: “ GIVE YE THEM TO EAT.” One of the highest Russian Orthodox Church Bishops of Moscow has personally and most urgently requested the Russian Bible Society to print one million Bibles and to send them to Russia. The more Russians are converted to Christ, the safer and better for America. That is why we all must do what we possibly can to the best of our means, before it is too little and too late, as the Apostle Paul realized when he cried out: “Woe unto me, if I preach not the Gospel” (1 Cor. 9:16). For $2.00 one complete Russian Bible of 1220 pages can be printed. For $10.00 five Bibles, and for $100.00, fifty Bibles will reach the Russian people. No time must be lost. Every Christian in America should have a share in this patriotic missionary movement.
