FREETHOUGHT, ORTHODOXY AND
SOCIALISM.

All Freethinkers not Socialists.
All Socialists are not Freethinkers.
Freethought is protest against an arbitrary re-
ligious authority in matters Of government.
Socialism is a protest against economic wrongs
inflicted upon the masses through the avenues of
government.
Neither work upon precisely the same lines but
both had their origin in outrage. The one religious
the other political In the Of investigation the
Socialist found that much Of the justice along eco
nomc lines had its origin in religious authority and
as a result the Socialist discovered that to
attain his ideals he compelled to work and labor
outside of and against the orthodox church. The lat
ter institution offered him encouragement
afforded him hope, for its doctrines of obedience
and elf-abnegation did not harmOnize with his own
notions of right On the other hand the Freethinker
became convinced that true, lasting political or
economic reform obtain until the church has been
completely driven out Of politics and its influence
entirely destroyed.
Under such conditions il is not at all surprising
that as a political factor, the church authority is on
rapid decline The sincere Socialist cannot remain
in the church TO such extent is this fact becom-
