ceed to work, for which we are de
nohnced by those who meet every Sab
bath, calling themselves christians,
who only want Gods teachings in the
skies, but none of it here in this life
This has been so as far back as bis.

formed and regards the truth will de.
ny it, The Church is now as Christ
was in the Garden of Gethsemine,
sweating great drops of sweat from its
load Of "things un7one," etc., and is
constantly purging itself Of men who
preach the doctrine Of the Bible.
When we see this and hear that bunch
say Socialism is power to be reck-
oned with, and we should get in il
and direct it fol good, it sounds in
line with what they have been doing,
that of deceiving their people into be-
lieving with. their masters that profit,
rent and interest was right and the
more taken, the harder you pray
"Just keep your soul right with
God," and let the robberies continue.
"Stay out of politics, ''Obey the
powers that be. - "If you do vote,
vote for good men and then you have
done your duty" only You must beg
the good men for chance to live, and
pray God for heaven when you have
been starved, mentally, morally and
socially because of tho preaching of
such rot Any man who is afraid to

spare, but the grain trust steals the
fruit. Water power beyond human
conception already taken by the Water

We Socialists are glad of the trusts
ana know they will grow to such pro-
portions and will continue robbing
the people until unbearable in spite of
the silence of all except Socialists.
Then the people will take charge and
operate for themselves. Then man

investigated it, Then we will call no
man master but all men will be broth

said, "Call no man master. This is

the lies, all the vile names and every
thing the minds of the demons of earth
can conjure up to check the onward
march of Socialism. We have been
called anarchists, bloody revolution
lists, free lovers, etc, but we are press
ing on for the goal, gaining victory af-
ter victory and many of us will live to
see it. Then you will learn that
soul is not to be measured in dollars

yourself what Jesus meant by the
Kingdom of God as a correct under

a turning point in your life. Jesus

nations of the earth had united in it.

believe further that it is our duty to
follow the examples and teachings of
Jesus, in spite of wrong doers or dew

find the Socialist movement is world
wide and is bound to break in pieces |
the capitalistic kingdoms of the world,
which will reunite with Gods king
dom SOCIALISM, and all will enjoy the
more abundant life When the Social
lists will have taught the world that a
vast majority have been robbed of
their birtbright to the soil, they will
restore it to those for whom God Great
ed it for Their use, and everv child,
born and unborn, shall be guaranteed
as much as each can use. This will
kill rent. and be great step toward
the more abundant life.
When the people learn that it is dis
honest to make money, turn it over to
bankers with which to rob the living

themselves which will kill interest,
and we will be so much nearer the
abundant life that it will be easy for
