"Christ aud Socialism " was the subject
of the Rev. r. l.. Greene last night at
Trinity NJ. +. Church. The text of the
sermon was from st. Matthew, vii.-l2
therefore all things whatsoever We
would that men should do to you do yet
even so TO them, for this is the law and
the prophet" Socialism, said Mr.. Greene,
has the meaning in IL which is born TO the
nation. In Russia it means Nihilism, in
Germany Communism. aud so on in the
other nations Socialism has bad name
and in il dynamite, the torch, knife, boy
cott and strike. by aud by il will stand

The writer Iedgeman defines Social
ism as follows: Socialism is the doc
trine of society which teaches the
reconstruction of society by remodelling
or destroying its economic basis Jesus
Christ was "A Christian Socialist. Social 4.
ism will reach its highest point when all
men do as they would be done by. So
cialism aims to change society's environ

of wealth so that each will get his dues
by substituting cooperation for competi-

society from the boarding OF wealth by
making the government the trustee of the

EX-GOVERNOR JOS. E. BROWN,
In Response to an Invitation, Gives His
Views Upon the Present Political
Situation of the Country.

COLUMBUS, Ga, April 30, 1S92.-Hon
Joseph +. Brown. Dear Sir In our own
behalf and at the instance Of many citi-
lens of Georgia, in behalf neither of
Caesar nor Pompey, we ask, in the inter
est of the people of Georgia, that you will
give your views upon the present politi-
cal status of affairs
We know that you have retired from
politics, and we have hesitated to address
you on this subject, but you have in the
past filled nearly every office in the gift
of the people of this State, and enjoyed
the confidence of the public to larger
extent than any man now living; and as
a connecting link between the past and
the present, we think that your views
will have great weight with the people,
and will go a great way in reconciling
political differences of opinion. We are,
with great respect, your obedient serv-
ants, MARK Ii. BLANDFORD,
b. a. THORNTON.

SENATOR BROWNS REPLY.

Atlanta, Ga, April 26, 1S92.-Hon.
Mark Ii. Blandford, B. A. Thornton. Co
lumbus, Ga: Gentlemen: have received
your letter of the 22d instant, asking my
opinion as to the status of our political
affairs, in which you use some compli-
mentary expressions and assure me that
you act in the interest of the people of
Georgia, and that you believe my opin-
ion would have weight with them in
coming to proper conclusion. and that
they desire an expression of my opinion.
| have received, | may say, numerous
letters of like character from different
parts Of the State, to which l have as yet
not made any reply. Having retired alb
solutely from politics and public affairs,
and having fully determined under no
circumstances, to occupy any political
position, and my health being very much
broken down, prefer not to trouble the
public with my views on political sub
jects in the future: but as my fellow cit
i2ens, who have so long and so often hon
Ored me with their suffrage and their
support, express the wish to know my
views, | do not feel at liberty TO with
hold them on any vital question which
may be submitted for their consideration
and action.
Each person who has addressed me a
letter on this subject doubtless feels that
he is entitled to the courtesy of a reply,
but as my health is too feeble and my
strength inadequate to the task of giving
each a separate reply, | have concluded
to reply through the press to your letter,
and beg that other correspondents who
have written similar letters will accept it
as a reply to their own.
If the questions at issue related merely
to the persons who are to fill the impor-
tant positions of state | should not feel
it my duty to interfere, but it seems tC
me that the issues now before the people
are very far-reaching in their conse-
quences, and therefore very important
In a government like ours-by the peo
pie and for the people-there will always
be edifferences of opinion and political par
ties will always exist. AS rule though
there will be but two continuous politica
parties. Occasionally there may be fall
ing off from one party or possibly t(
some extent from both, and an effor
made to form new party, but the new
party after one or two trials will fail un
less it has shown strength enough t(
blot out one of the old parties and take
its place. The democratic party, though
not all the time under that name, ha.

Rev Mir Delzell preached, Sunday morn ing, from the text, ''This is the work of God that ye believe on him whom He hath sent" No good works will avail anything without this saving faith.

All were exhorted to cut away the structure of man made doctrines and dogmas and return to the simple faith in Christ.
