most scholarly, temperate and con.
vincing arguments against Socialism

fair and broad discussion, without eli.

and at the same time retain belief in
the Christian church or in Judaism
He announced himself ready to answer
any and all questions submitted to him
relevant to his subject and repeatedly
challenged any Of his Socialist or other
hearers to gainsay his carefully con.
sidered conclusions and the proofe on
which he based them. He certainly
made good impression upon his aud.
