the church yet he IS as a man not as
one of a class. And while man should
get as much of earthS blessings as pos

Herr Iodt's opinion as TO whether
Christianity has anything to do with
this subject or not. is given in an cpl
gram something like this: Whoever
would understand the social question and
contribute to its solution must have on
his right hand the works Of political
economy and on his left the literature
of scientific socialism, and must keep
the new testament open before him"
Christianity proposes help for each in
dividual, not by half. but as a whole,
not somebody else's, but mans own be-
ing body and spirit. 1t is a mission Of
Christianity TO stamp upon all 1t touches

SOCIALISM,
Views of II as Noted and Discussed
by "BabbIinE Brook"


Dear H. L. c. Friends-Having had my
attention drawn to the subject of 80
cialism," 1 suppose there will be no
harm done if l give my thoughts or
at least few Of them on the
subject.
Be there socialists in our II. L. c.
bonds. or those who are not let not my
words be offensive, for We all have a
right TO our own opinions.
Socialism, like all other views Of
things TO be changed, presents two ele-
ments to be considered, one of what
it is that needs change, the other what
the change should be. That evils do exist
in the present state Of society, and in
deed are quite prevalent we are readily
forced to admit. But the how. that they
may be averted is not readily solved
Sympathy is one of mans most domi-
nant qualities, and straigatWay his
heart goes out to those suffering for
their relief, forgetting the too frequent
results Of attempting to relieve suffering
humanity caused from existing evils
without removing the cause. Our heart
goes out for relief to him We will call
socialist. weak, poorly dressed, dWarfed
and faugued, on somebody else's land
and striving in vain 10 keep his place
among the surging multitude of strong,
weli-dressed, healthy. rge-bodied, but
small-hearted men, with ten-doIlar hats
on ten-cent heads and treading their
own land, and neither socialist or the
least respect for anyone who Is. But
take heed you at the helm of this barge
Of sympathy, less you land below the
principle Of personal responsibility.
What is il fills at least two-thirds Of
your buzzing brain after you have read
your newspaper and leaves only one
third for a bitter civil combat between
right and wrong?
That Isaac Miller shot his wife and
then himself? He was out Of work for
sixteen months, and with a large fam
lily to support, he is supposed to have
become insane. That Mr. Warren has
just completed or purchased some trivial
fixture at a cost of $1,000, and you lay
down your paper to revolve in your
brain this social question. And away

features and black curly hair by those
who profess to believe in Christ.

satisfaction, let action and CONVERSE

woRLD,s RELIGIOUS PARLIAMENT.
Sketches Continued by MAUD Maple"
Relief and Ceremonies of Pnrsees.

Dear Friends-Having confined myself
t. the foreign faiths IS given by their
representatives, I will first note one
among the oldest religions. AS all re-
ngion is recognition of, and a seeking
after Coda gearing for conscious
unity with the Father-we simply mean
by old and new religions the different
views and devotional methods pursued
from time TO time for the attainment of
this end.
There has ever been and continues to
be this changing as the result Of a deep
er knowledge Of truth. 1t is the devel-
oping of a higher consciousness, or spir-
itual perception that reveals more and
more of God to our inner self, or soul,
and we call it new. The revelation is
new, not that which IS revealed. Eter-
nal verfties are forever the same. 1t
is only as we perceive them from differ
ent standpoints, or attitudes Of realiza-
ton that causes US to think Of them as
different. And L hope that in this birds
eye view Of comparative religions we
win not lose sight Of this central fact
OF spiritual unity-that the same spirit,
COD, is in all, and over all, and above
all and changes not.
The Par5eeS sometimes called FIRE
worshfpers'O are the followers of Zoroas-
ter who is said TO have lived 5000 years
ago. For centuries ZOroasterism was
both the state and the national religion
Of ancient Persia. After the overthrow
of Persian monarchy in A. D. 642 when
this religion was checked by the Arabs,
many Of those adhearing to the faith
and preferring exile rather than abandon
their ancient religion, relinquished their
hornesteads and left their fatheYland for
nCGDif9.hln G6OTcg OF
this religion has remained unimpared
and the ancient race preserved as now
represented by the modern Parsees Of
India.
Following are the sketches Of the pa
