nounced example of the tenet OF socialism
in early Christianity, when the followers
'sold their possessions and goods, and
parted them to all men as every man had
need?' Was this act based on Christ's
teaching, or was it faDaticism? The writer
does not expect to see our national govern
ment become a "ma chine" as Mr.. Dixon

and legislative halls at Washington; but
ne would call attention to the fact that
Christian ministers cannot consistently
overlook the fundamental fact of Jesus
teaching upon the truth set forth in social
ism. While He would not, himself,
handle the reins of government, nor direct
his apostles or modern ministers to do so,
he would have them, regardless OF the
possible loss OF a good salary, fearlessly
speak the full truth upon the fact OF po-
IiticaI corruption SO common in our day.
