We are proud TO count in our ranks not many
wise after the flesh, not many mighty, not many
noble; but ignorant, illterate men; yea, men who
were once base, bus are now transformed by the
all.peryading power oflove. We set forth things
which are not, but which ought TO be, 10 consound
things which are; ard you call Us utopiansi even

translate as you WILL the Scriptures still bear te'h
uopy in favor Of Socialism. You may say that some
of the chief rulers, even in Judea believed In

cursed was called; that Manaen, Herod's foster
brother Cornelius, Gamalie, and great company
ofPnests, were obedent TO the faith that atEPhe-

Peers of France-Peers of England also for aught

prophets, who were employed in calling the world
into the faith Of the Gospel say this fyou will we
by no mean refuse to accept your Interpretation
nay, we believe you present the true meaning OF
the passage But is it not SO with US alsol Who
are we who are called upon at the present day to

and political economists 10 sbame3 Do We use en-

II is not the noble ard the mighty who preach
Socialism to this generation, but weak meR-men
OF low birth, often illterate men-men who have
lost the faculty offacie speech in long days, weeks
and months Of silent and solitary meditaton-men
who have been terrified by gazing into the still and
fathomless eyes OF Sphynxes and Cherublms-men
without cOmeliness or beauty of person-pale,
sickly aud haggard men, who have been snit.en,
SCARED and blasted by intellectual thunder aud
lightning. To the votary OF the world, 10 the
banker to the belle ofthe ball room, we are vulgar;
but does it necessarily follow that we arc for that

We will undertake to prove to any opponent
who is not sentmentast, but theooglan, any
opponent who has a reputation to save or iose Tor
