"A CURIOUS SECT OF GERMAN SocIALrsrs-
Inc most Interesting sect of German Socialists
Is that OF the pastor, Stocker, the Christian So
clallst. Stocker seems TO be successor of the
Danish poet and radical preacher and teadher,
Gfunaylg. He is himself a radical in every
respect, and yet he is a court preacher at Ber-
lin. His socialism claims TO derive its origin
and its degmas from the New Testament
Jesus Christ, he contends, was tie first Social
ist. This fantasy is not new one; it was a
successful madness in France at the time Of
the revolution of 1913. The famous Able La
menDais, in his younger days, and while he
was still enthusiastic, was sort of Christian
Socialist, and Montalemhert was tinctured
with similar ideas in an aristOcratic Way
Stocker wants TO reorganiZe society on the
basis OF the Sermon on the Mount Gifupdyig

universal peace and dnon-resiStance, and would
have preached community of goods and the
abolishment Of all individual rights of proper
