The herald., 1893-09-25

opened with 20 Minutes address, and
was followed by short speeches from
some Of the brightest and brainiest
men and women in the city.
Rev. w. @. Bowman spoke in the
evening to large and enthusiastic
audience, his subject being Our Social
Relations and duties. After reading a
beautiful poem by ]. G. Clark, be said !:
"All duties grow out OF our mutual re-
lations to each other. No one can live
entirely to himself and for himself.
We are not only dependent on each
other, but mset OF necessity aid and
help each other. Every calling, every
trade, every vocation in life is de-
signed for the benefit Of others. While
we have been taught to believe that
every one is working for himself, yet the
result of his labors is for the blessing
Of others. How blessed would it be for
all to realize this truth, that the world
is brotherhood and al are working for
the good OF the whole. instead of the
selfish end OF good to no one but self.
"The world recognizes the fact that our
lives are bound up in mutual depend
ence upon each other, and yet the aver
age citizen trcmbles at the very name of
boCihiiHihs 4nln lb buo Ioeuib vi our
former education. The world socialism
brings terror to many minds because it
means reform and an end to plutocracy,
monopoly and legalized robbery. No
wonder it is unpopular with those who
reap golden harvest from the irregu-
larities in condition, and sanctifed by
law. Socialism means change in this
espect-something like that outlined

"There is another aspect to socialism
which refers to our position in society.
While these things are email, much Of
the happinesees OF life depend upon
them. We can hardly calculate the in
fluence OF ffiendliness in our social in
tercourss. To be kindly and sociable
with all is duty. The happiness of q
whole neighborhood depends upon the
duties OF kindlinees and courtesy. In
order to keep up this spirit of kindli-
ness we must exclude those who cannot
assimilate with ne in the spirit OF oui
land and social customs. This excludes
aliens like Chinese, who can never be-
come Americanized There can never
be Brotherhood without brotherly
kindness. The Chinese are not agree
able neighbors, either socially, morally
or financially; hence we owe it as 9
i duty to ourselves to rid our country o.
their presence and influence. In this
we differ from the present czar of Amer
lea. We agree, however, with Senator
Stewart OF Nevada in desiring his i'm
peachment'.
