| As 1t has been some time since
have written to the News, l will write
a few lines giving few dots on so
cialism, as that is the highest order we
have this hour. Socialism will bring
us all together in tho fatherhood OF
God and the brotherhood of man. So
cialism will unite us together in pure
love and christianity. Socialism will
enable us to fulfill tue commandments
which Christ taught when He was on
earth, to love one another and to bear
each othel' g burdens. Socialism will
lift our feet out of the mile and place
them on a higher plane of life.
Socialism was taught by God the
Father when He gave Abraham the
earth for his inheritance and his seed
after him. It was the principle of So
cialism that delivered the children of
Israel out of Egyptian bondage and de-
stroyed Pharaoh's hosts in the Red
Sea. 1t was the principle of Social
ism that God had that caused Him to
sware unto Abraham and to Isaac and
to Jacob, saying, Unto thy seed will
| give the earth for thy Inheritance.
Behold the heaven and the heaven of
heavens is thy God, the earth also
with all that therein is
So the profits of the earth are for all,
but we have sold our liberty and drift
ed into bondage as the children of Is
rael did by voting for the old system
of government that upholds the money
gods of this ealth and grinds the la
borers lower and lower every year,
making the money kings richer and
the toiler poorer, but this Babylonish
government will come to naught.
Then the prophecy of Daniel will
come to pass as he said, 'And in the
days Of these Kings shall the God of
heaven set up kingdom, which shall
never be destroyed, and the kingdom
shall not be left to other people, but
it shall brake in pieces and consume
all these kingdoms. and it shall stand
forever. Dan. 24:4.
Christ told his apostles that the
Kingdom of God is within you. which
WAS divine principle and it takes a
divine principle to make true socia-
list Some men have the audacity to
say that a man cannot be christian
and be a socialist The man that uses
such language is destitute of the
knowledge to understand what Social
ism is. They are blind. They remind
me of negro that belonged to man
by the name of Jones, who was
Whig. So the negro went to Smith,
who was Tory, and Smith gave the
darkey three young puppies, and he
carried them home, and Jones told the
darkey that he did not want any Tory
pups there. The darkey said, "Hol'
on, massa. until they gifts der eyes op-
ell an dey will be as good wings as yo
is.'' SO that is the way Of the people
who do not understand socialism, but
when they get their eyes open they
will be true socialists. So the best
thing for us to do is to never say any
thing against anything that we don't
for it is true according
TO divine truth, that when Christ was
On earth, teaching the everlasting gos-
pei, some men wonld not receive his
doctrine, but said it is hard saying,
and who can hear it,. So it is the
same with man that doesn't under
stand socialism, it is a hard saying to |
1im. 1t is true saying, that there
are none 30 blind as those who don't
want to see.
