SOCIALISM NOT ATHEISTIC.

Mann RELIGIOUS Men Among Founders
of the Movement In America.
nerststent effort is being made to
,rond Socialism as atheism or opposed
- religion. This can only appeal to
.bo minimizing, for Socialism is not a
,orgion. nor does its philosophy occu-
~ itself with q revelation of God to
r NON 2 future state or with an ethical
morality. The only way In which it
onnroaches religion is that it proclaims
certain things economically wrong.
But the doctrine Of protection does
tbot also. So does the single tax doc
trine. Every school of politics does
that Christian men have had much
n do with bringing Socialism into no.
tee
From the beginning of the Socialist
movement in America religious men
have been identified with it. The five
current American books teaching So
caIIsm were written by men who are
or have been active in the ministry
SnYgues Socialism From Genesis to
Revelation" Wallis principles of Sci
eDtifc Socialism," Mills ''The Struggle
For Existence" Spargo's Socialism"
and MASSACHUSETTS, christianity and
The Social Crisis"
Many times have Christian men or
ganized to foster the spread of Social
Ism, particularly among the church
members Among these efforts were
The publication of the Dawn at Bos-
ton over twenty years ago, the first
Christian Socialist paper, edited by
Rev. Dr. W. D. P. Bliss. The Chris
tan Socialist league, of which e. D.
WheelOck was president and Rev.
Frederick D. Strickland was secretary,
atterward obtained members in vari-
GUS parts of the country.
The Social Crusaders, organized by
Wilson, Wentworth, Wise and Hol-
lngsworth, made fine start, publish
ing an excellent monthly called the So
cal Crusader, editer by Franklin II.
Wentworth.
The COllectiyist society is still doing
splendid work, though not distinctiveIy
religious, and has published some SUI
peror pamphlets, such as 1.-The Social
Ism Of Jesus" by Weeks. And the
Brotherhood of the Kingdom, which
held its thirteenth annual conference

Oy Rev. Leighton Williams and other
leading ministers of the east, though
not exclusively Socialist, deserves to

with your annoyers."
"As if Rafe Haddock would ever agree to
such thing!" laughed Howard to himself
For several weeks, however, nothing more
was heard from the Bilbankers, and the Mel
combites practiced undisturbed, and looked
forward with glowing anticipation to the Eas-
ter holiday, which the indulgent head master
proposed to make a sort of egg carnival and
merry festival generally, introducing to the
boys many customs learned In his English
home over the sea.
"Queer, the Roaring Lions keep so quiet, ="
remarked Bob Benson, on Easter evening, as
the lads were examining their bats and balls,
and discussing the coming match

and break up the game" growled Howard,
''for the Excelsiors will be sure to say it was
a put-up Job and we were afraid of being
beaten"
II bet that's just what they mean to do"
said Bob; "and then good-by to all our fun
on the Flat Meadow, for the doctor will never
let us play there again, and the cowardly
sneaks, whose favorite style of warfare seems
to be throwing things, viii think it all their
doing, and crow over us every time we meet"
This dire prediction transformed every ball
player into picture OF gloom; but at that
moment, little figure was seen scurTying
across the campus, and small boy dashed
up, very much out of breath, gasping:
ooh, feers-what- -do-you- think! Rafe
Haddock,- -has-fallen-d n-down-Stony Cliff-and
WHAT" '1s it really so!' ''No humbug-
ging nowi" burst from all sides; and Howard
Pelton fairly shook the small informant in his
excitement, while he demanded:

child. "Red-haired Tim and Freckly Jinks

And Bertie's pug nose tilted up more than

"Glad Rafe was tripped up then. Hurrab!

And all joined heartily and perhaps some
what heartlessy in the triumphant shout
"S'pose the biggest stone of all would have
come whizzing at my head" remarked Duke,
as the cheers died away.

Such a fair, lovely Easter day as dawned
the next morning! 1t really seemed as though
nothing turbulent or .quarrelsome couio exist %
in the peaceful valley in which Bilbank is siti-
ated, and above which the green hills tower
so calmly and protectingly; and the Melcombe
boys appeared to feel the soothing influence
of the gracious season as they entered the
diningroom much more quietly tnah usual
and seated themselves at the breakfast table,
which was fragrant with flowers, arranged by
the doctors only daughter, Nellie, and graced
by several dishes that they had never before

And all burst out laughing as they beheld
a corn salad. on which was mounted a small

TOR many a year, the Fiat Meadow, a.
it was called, had been bone OF
contention between the boys OF the
little country village and the, pupils
at Meleombe House, the imposing school build ia
ing which crowned hill an the outskirts OF bii-
bank; for there was no other such smoot1'
level ball ground to be found for miles arounu,
and both factions contended jealousy 1or i'S
sole possession.
Never, however, had the feud ragged more
fercely than in the year 18S-, which was
largely owing TO the leader of the Bilbankers
being burly butchers boy, named Rate HAD
dock, who felt strong contempt and dislike
for all =" ristocrats," as he termed them, whlle
force, and dubbed them the Roaring Lions,
boasting that the 'ily-fngered Melcombe
lambs would never dare to baa before Butcher
Rafe and his strong-6sted crew."
There was no doubt that the advantage OF
age and muscle lay ON the side of the village
party. 1t was therefore rare astonishment
to both factions when, one spring day, as the
Melcombe team was practicing for the famous
ball match, to take place on Easter Monday,
Duke Castle, wel-built but slight lad o OF
fourteen, became exasperated by the insults
and missiles flung at them by the Bilbankers
and, suddenly throwing down his bat, sprang
at the head lion" taking him quite un-
awares, knocked him down, treated him to
wiser if sadder youth, and vowing ven
geance against the whole Melcombe nine in
general and Duke Castle in particular.
Good for You, Castle!" "Hurrah for Fight,
ing Duke!" THAT was well done" shouted
the gchO9lb9ys, in a t frenzy Of delight de h and an
ing Lions, who were helping their fallen leader
from the field.
But all recalled them many times afterward,
especially Duke. who carried off black eye
and swollen nose as mementoes of the en-
counter; while Doctor Melcombe was so dis
pleased by his favorite pupils disreputable
appearance that he declared "it was entirely
beneath the dignity of, his scholars to fight
with low village roughs, and, unless some
peaceable means could be found to keep them
quiet, he should forbid his boys playing on
the Flat Meadow at all"
"But not until after the Easter match, sure
ly!" exclaimed Howard Pelton, the captain
Of the nine-"for you know. doctor, the Ex-
celsiors, from Rocllland, are coming over to
play us, and we want to show them what we
can do"
every WELL then-until after Easter Mon
day l will. say no more" said the master, with
an amused smile at the young ball enthusiasts
dismayed countenance "But you must be
on your guard, and, If possible, I should advise
