SOCIALISTS NOT CONSTANT.
The Average Adherent Likely to Abandon
Theory Easily.

Rutland, VT, Feb. l6.--At the
vesper service held at the Congre-
w II. Spence resumed the discussion of
Socialism begun the Sunday before. His
theme for the afternoon was Socialism,
a Menace or Hope" and. TO summarize
he said that there was little in social
ism that was a menace to society but
much hope was to be found in it be-
cause Of its general effect upon the com
munity.
The socialist strives, he said, for the
good Of the community and not for per-
sonal advancement This spirit Of SER
vice is one Of its best features. The
average socialist is too apt TO give up
his convictions if he happens to get
position with salary which puts him
for the time in comfortable circum.
stances Socialism is liable to put down
ambition and suppress individualism.
The idea Of personal property is the
motive behind nearly all industry, and
If this is destroyed the world loses a
lot of valuable effort.
