totalers on two principles they wish to
conserve the natural forces and to give

socialism a religion.
The early Christians held everything
in common not 30 much to follow the
teachings OF Christ as because the end
OF the world was near and it didn't make
much difference. Christianity on the
whole Is the religious expression OF all
the generations preceding our own. The
Christian religion was what you call a
