SOCIALISM AND THE CHURCH.
Rev. Charles SteIzie Discusses thu
Question of Injecting Human Needs.

In no city or country in the world
are the Christians in majority The
men outside of the church control the
courts and the legislature. but the pro-
gress which has been made is due to
the direct and indirect influence of
Christianity. The church has often
been at fault and in some things it is
to blame today. but no matter how
dark the age the church has always
been the whitest light in history and
when reform came to the church. it
came from within and not from with
out. To quote from the significant res
