Religion: Bible by Balloon

The International Council of Christian Churches (fundamentalist rival of the World Council of Churches) last week decided on an all-out effort to destroy the prophets of atheism behind the Iron Curtain. Their vehicle: balloons. Small balloons will be set adrift in Europe by council workers, to be carried into Sovietland on the west winds. A waterproof envelope will be attached to each balloon, containing a portion of the Scriptures or an entire Bible. Declared the council: “The greatest single weapon in the hands of freedom-loving people in their struggle with expanding Communism is the Bible.”
