An early American anti-communist text by the founder of the Missouri Synod Lutheran Church, the foremost American Fundamentalist/Evangelical Lutheran denomination. Alarmed by the arrival of a Unionist newspaper in St. Louis, Walther composed a circular letter to the Synod, warning clergy and laity of what he saw as the inherent godlessness of communism and labor movements.
