reasoning power through educa
tion are responsible for the declin
ing influence of the church, for
lack of congregations and the
frantic and sometimes ludicrous
efforts of priests and preachers
to arouse interest in things spi
ritual by means of nurseries,
courtimg rooms, vaudeville shows
and the like in connect! n with
their pastorates, and even a
• resort to newspaper and billboard
advertising.: The church, like o
ther things wants to live, so of
course it would oppose anything
that develop^ reasoning power
and creates a spirit of enquiry
and investigation. Socialism
does not blame the church for
seeking to live, but it will defend
its'dj and go on edura'ing the peo
pie.
Among ether things that the
Vice-President probably does not.
know is the fact that capitalism,
knowing the pertinacity of reli
gious prejudice is framing up

ism from behind the skirts of
I the church, and the church, ve

Inal and rotten to the core, anx
ious to keep the people in ignor
ance and darkness, that its own
life may be prolonged, is only too
glad to accept the task. Hun
dreds of thousands of dollars have
been raised in the East dur
ing the last three years with
which to carry on the fight. Dur
ing that ume a horde of priests
and preac hers have appeared on
^ the platform throughout the n,un
try (one of them was in Fair

spewing up their vomit-on the
movement. Periodicals have bc<: n
• established to add their slime to
i the dirty mess, and these edited
■ by good churchmen, are sold or
[given away at church doers.
These things are facts, and :f
Mr. Marshall thinks that,Social
ism will cease to oppose under
[such circumstances, he is very
| much mistaken Socialism is vig

never laydown t'» capitalism or
