the Temple is explained only upon
the theory that Jesus had behind Him
a mob Of have-nots. Employers Of
labor i'll understand the true mean
ing Of the statement in Mark 1912
that :'They sought to lay hold On
Him, but they feared the multitude"
But one conclusion can be drawn
from Jesus scathing indictment Of
the lawyers of Jerusalem, which for
savageness is not exeelled even in
the literature of the French revolu-
ton. What mrchant would sanction
the practice advocated in the parable
of the unjust steward in Luke
Is: 10?
It is not religion, but science, edu-
cation and enlightenment that busi-
ness and capital must rely upon for
protection. Everywhere the increase
in wealth and in security for life and
property has been conceded with the
decline of authority in religion and
the spread of rationalistic ideas.
Business thrives and wealth expands
only where the religious and military
powers are kept in strict subsection
to the civil authority. This is the
lesson Of history.

Comment:

Mr.. Irwin fails to take into con-
sideration the all-im portant fact that
the early Christians formed a small
sect, in the midst of a large popula-
ton. They were forced to come to-
gather, for mutual comfort and pro-
lection. The whole world was
against them. In other parts of the
New Testament there is abundant
evidence OF private property. Not all
the houses owned by Christians we're
melted into the common pot. Mary
and Martha appear to have been
home owners: they were not requir-
ed to sell out and give to the poor.
In none of the teachings of Christ,
is there any denunciation of private
property. Indeed, at least one Of
the Ten Commander ents protects pri-
vate property. Thou shalt not
steal!' What? Another mans
portable stuff. "Thou shalt not COW
ct thy neighbours wife, his maid, his
OK &C."
This command necessarily implies
that "thy naighbor" owns a house,
has an attractive spouse, owns a
bOnd-woman, and has 1.-THE cattle
We are not only commanded not to
steal any of our neighbours goods,
but not yearn for it. How are the
Socialists going to dodge the Ten
Commandments?
They are mighty fond Of citing
passages of the Bible which seem to
favor universal communism; but
they carefully ignore those parts
which show that the principle of

H~kO LIE ELI OEG.
~ Very interesting is the press
III report that the Hon. Bird S.
Coler, prominent Democratic
politician of New York, has declared
that Nothing but positive religious
instruction can protect the country
from Socialism, By positive re-
igious instruction" Mr.. Coler pre-
Sumably means instruction in the
dominant Western religion.
Astonishing would be the specta-
Gle of business and capital endeav-
ofing to follow in the footsteps of
the carpenter Of Nazareth Who is
shown by the gospel to have been
a political agitator and social rebel
of the most extreme type F'ortu-
nate indeed, it is for business that
the Christians of today regard His
'precepts and examples as binding up
on this generation. Taken seriously
and put into practice, they would de-
stroy the present civilization. AS
Renan, the great French scholar has
shown us, Jesus aimed to annihilate
wealth and power not to grasp them.
That the Analysing, dissecting mind
of the Japanese has discerned the
true nature of Jesus and His teach
ings is shown by the article in the
Literary Digest of Nov. 4th, which
quotes William T. Ellis, a writer on
Japanese life, as stating: 1.-THE Jap

private ownership was never assailed.
Christ drove out of the Temple
not bankers only: He elected poor
men who had brought droyes of cat
tie to sell to those who came to
make burnt offerings. 1t was great
convenience to the religious Jew, de-
string to make his Offering, 10 find
what he wanted at the Temple. What
Christ denounced was the traffic in
side the sacred building. This was
a Dissertation which He, circum-
cised Jew and a fulfiller Of the Law
holly resented.
AS to the rich young man, he was
simply tested as an individual.
AS to "the Fathers" quoted, they
had better authority to speak upon
the subject of private property than
Mr.. Irwin himself has. They were
entitled to their opinions; but those
opinions were repudiated, not only
by the laity, but by the clergy.

Jesus, His disciples, His early fol-
lowers and the fathers of the early
church is more dangerous to vested
interest than is Socialism. The So
cialists tell us they have no design
on private property and aim only at
the common ownership of the means
Of production and distribution; but
the proof is ample that Jesus. His
disciples, His early followers and the
fathers of the church did not believe
in any kind Of property rights. Their
teachings and examples constitute a
real menace to organized wealth to-
dayl. Let us review the evidence:
Origen: "Forsake the priests Of
Pharaoh who have earthly posses
sions and come unto us who have
none"
Tertullian: Cali is common with
u.s. except women
st. Justin: 1--WE carry on us all we
possess and share everything with the
poor"
st. Clement: private property is
the fruit Of iniQuity. The common
ues Of everything in the world should
be free to all men. But through
iniquity the one claimed this belong
ing to him, and the other that. and
thus came division among men"
ST. Augustine: Private property
originated in usurpation. Property
is not natural right. but a positive
right, founded simply on civil au-
thority'
ST. Jerome: "Opulence is always
the result Of theft; if not committed
by the actual possessor, then by his
predecessors.
st. Ambrose: ''The soil was given
to the rich and poor in common.
wherefore oh We rich, do We unjustly
claim it for yourself alone? Nature
gave all things in common for the
use Of all. Usurpation created pri-
vate right.
st. Basil: F'The rich man is thief.
You will say to me. What wrong do
commit if [ hoard that which is
mine?' And l ask you, Which are
the things that you think belong to
you? From whom did you receive
them?'"
St. Chrysotom: 'fThe idea we
should have Of the rich and covet-
Gus: they are truly as robbers who,
standing in the public highways, de-
SpOIl Cu0 pdSSSiS-Uy. - gu Say CQaL
the poor do not work; but do you
yourselves work? Do you enjoy in
idleness the goods you have unjustly
inherited?"
These citations from the writings
Of the early Christian fathers ought
to be conclusive to business men as to
their views on property rights; but
what did the first Christians do, un-
der the immediate direction of Jesus
disciples?
In the fourth chapter of Acts we
are told that Of the multitudes of
them that believe mot one of them
said that aught of the things which
he possessed was his own; but they
had all things common. Neither was
there among them any that lacked;
for as many as were possessOrs of
lands or houses sold them and dis
tribution was made unto each accord
ing as any one had need" No
amount of .sophistry or evasion can
explain away this action of Jesus dis
ciples in founding the first Christian
state. The gospels tell us that before
His accession Jesus explained privately
to them all things. In this vital
matter therefore they acted accord
ing to Jesus instructions, or con-
trary TO them. Which was it?
What did Jesus say, while yet in
the flesh, concerning property? Be
