The expressions of Scripture are not less general

valid. The texts refer 10 the unity Of the Churcn

bufto the pRity of all things, both things IN Hea-
ven and Thugs on Earth. The Apostle Paul. IN DIS

We confess that il is impossible for US to prove
the identity of Socialism with the doctrines preach
ed in the fashionable churches, where the teachers
have forgotten whether there be any such thing ss
the Holy Ghost. There is a Sentimental, ethical
sort Of preaching derived from the Greek philoso-
ply, which is foreign both to Socialism and the
Gospel. We appeal to the evangelical denomlna-
tons our teaching is identical with theirs we
believe in Christ the vine, and that spiritual e
consists in abiding in the vine OF which we are
branches. We recognize no sentimental, ethical
Christianity: to US Christianity is Christ, and the
Father in Christ reconcling the world unto him
SELF The Freewill Baptists, the Methodlsts. the
Christian connection, and a certain portion of the
UIitarans will apprehend our meaning. And we
are justified in considering communion, fellowship,
solidarity as the great characteristics OF Christani
ty; for the Master hims elf said;
81 pray Father that they may be ONE thou, Fater
art In me aud IN thee that they may be ONE 10 Us thai the
tooyd may beliere that thou hast sent And the glory
which thou gavestme have given them thai ihey may be
they may be pc feet that the oostd may ka1
that thou hat cent me- and hast loved the as thou hast
loved me"
Do you require anything more explicit than that!
If the Master ssys that the union of his disciples is
to be the proof to the world Of bis divine mission,
are we not justified in saying that union is the
great characteristic of Christianity When Paul
becomes intoxicated, as it were, with the contem'
plation Of the glory of the Gospel, he begins at
once to anathe matse the divisions which subsist
between man and man, city and city, nation and
nation, race and race he begins at once to cele.
brate the beauty and holmes of communion He
cried out when rapt by the Spirit;
In Christ Jesus The middle wall OF partition broken
down. There neither Jew Greek, Barbarian scyth
sn bond nor free but ye are al ONE 10 Christ Jesus"
The Kingdom Of Heaven consists in the commu-
MON of the Socialists Socialism aims to fulfill the
Lords PRAYER, Hud 10 realize that Kingdom on
earth Where thenis the issue between Socialism
and Christianity G.
