Secret Combination


With another election coming upon us, we all need to be warned against upholding communism.  This book written by Verlan Anderson, has a simple and plain explanation of Communism and the Constitution.  A must read!  Study what Communism is and see if you support it.  Or if you uphold our Constitution.

Quoting the book: 

Constitution vs. Communism

President David O. McKay has identified Communism as this secret combination of Satan which threatens our very existence today. (Statements on Communism and the Constitution of the United States, p. 5) 
He has also said:   The position of this Church on the subject of Communism has never changed. We consider it 
the greatest satanical threat to peace, prosperity, and the spread of God’s work among men that exists on the face of the earth.…We therefore commend and encourage every person and every group who is sincerely seeking to study Constitutional principles and awaken a sleeping and apathetic people to the alarming conditions that are rapidly advancing about us. (Improvement Era, June 1966, p. 477) 



Back in 1940, the First Presidency of the Church issued a statement on Communism in which
they said:
We again warn our people in America of the constantly increasing threat against our inspired Constitution…These revolutionists are using a technique that is as old as the human race—a fervid but false solicitude for the unfortunate over whom they thus gain mastery, and then enslave them…Latter-day Saints cannot be true to their faith and lend aid, encouragement, or sympathy to any of these false philosophies. They will prove snares to their feet. (David O. McKay, Statements on Communism and the Constitution of the United States, pp. 7-8)

A few days after he was made President of the Church, David O. McKay said:   A third World War is inevitable unless Communism is soon subdued. Communism yields to nothing but force. (Statements on Communism and the Constitution of the United States, p. 13)


PRESIDENT THOMAS S. MONSON
Of all the individuals I know, who would like to be here today, it would be Ezra Taft Benson, the Prophet of the Lord, and the President of the Church. For, he loved Verlan Andersen, and he loves all of us....As I describe my friend Verlan, I would like to say that he was a man of integrity. When he knew he was right, he followed it. There was no discussion. There was no temptation.... Verlan Andersen never endorsed that with which he did not agree, for he wanted to be able to defend his position, and his position was always on the side of the Lord. He truly was a man of integrity....(President Thomas S. Monson, speaking at the funeral of Elder H. Verlan Andersen, July 20, 1992)
