INFIDELS OR ATHEISTS.
DR.. Radcliffe So Classics Certain
Leaders of Modern Socialism

Comparing Christian socialism with the
socialist philosophy, Rev. DR.. Wallace
Radcliffe declares that some leaders Of
modern socialism and many of the rank
and file are infidels or atheists. He was
preaching to the theme The Dream of
Socialism last night from his pulpit, in
New York Avenue Church.
The masses are not inflamed against
the classes in the true Christian So
ciahsm, he said and neither is support
given TO dynamiters and criminals. The
modern socialist demands he described
as directed to bring TO an end the strug-
gle of the masses for existence by the
universal distribution of ease Ind COM
forts and in common ownership of things
necessary TO life.

road from the Alaskan coal fields to the

claims in that territory are proposed
