fessor of church history in the
Rochester Theological seminary.
. says “Socialism is the most thor
ough and consistent elaboratioi
of the Christian social idea’. 1(
is far and away the most power
ful force of justice, democrac
and organized fraternity in th
modern world’’—Christianizin.
ihe Social Order, p. 397, And h
adds on page 40(5: “Atheism i
in no way essential to socialit
thought.” j
Henry E. , !der, professor c !
church history in Crozer thee
logical seminary* says: “Sod;
ism is more near y a reprodiu 1

other charter bills are Lefore th

not the manhood to protect this

We see from the capitalist
press that the central labor
body of Charleston will give a
smoker to Governor Hatfield
and the legicla'ors. Ti is re
minds us very much of a story
we onco heard about an old
negro who went north after the
civil war as bailer for some of
the Yankee officials. It seems
that this old negro had been
north for several years and had
been spoilt by bis new master
and had become sassy. One
t’a: an old Southern Colonel
happened to be visiting at the
house and the old butler gave
him gome hack talk, when the
Colonel grabbed him by the
neck and kicked the old negro
out of the house, after the old
negro had pie.Ki d himself up he
bowed to the Colonel, lint in
hand, and said, ‘‘Thankey Mar
ster, you is the fust real gentle
man I have seod in a long
lime." We can’t tee why or
ganized labor should give Gov
ernor Ilalfield and the legisla
tors a sim ker, unless it i* to
show their appieciations for the
k icks they are getting.
Gov. Clark of Iowa, >“ bis in~
augural addrer» says of tho war:
‘ The men in the trenches are
tulking Collectivism and Democ
racy as never before. 1 hey are
heartily aick of being forced in
to a war, about which they can
expect nothing. I predict that
they will Uke steps t> revolu
tionize every government in
Europe after the fighting in the 4
field is over.
