WITH 1T PERFECTED, THE WORLD

(By Hortense Wagenknecht.)


Millions of men and women work
constantly to undermine capitalism,
and work just as tirelessly to build in
it's stead the foundation of the CO.
operative commonwealth.
Men and women who recognize that
only through the united efforts of a
class-conscious, worldng-class organiz-
ton is there any hope for lettering
the conditions of that class; VINO
recognize that to obey the will of the
majority of such body is the duty
of every member, and that only in
method can success be attained; men
and women who are standing ever
ready to fight for the rights of the
workers, and who will not be led
astray; who keep their eyes forever on
that bright spot ahead which grows
ever larger and nearer.
This is organization. Without it we
are a mob. With it perfected the
world is ours.

REV. DR sLOCUM
 LECTURED AT CONCORD
FIattering Notice Of His Appearance in the Walker Course at His Former Home.

Of a lecture given at Concord, N. H., by Rev. Dr. Joel E. SIocum of the Cen rtal. Baptist church of this city, the Concord Evening Month of October 30th says:
 An audience that completely filled Phenix hall. gallery and all, greeted a former Concord pastor, Rev. Joel B. S!ocum. D. D.. last night as he ap- ,aared in the Walker course with his popular lecture, BIuenoses and the Land of Blomidom, Doctor Slocum was enthusiastically greeted as he sentence of his lecture he captured his hearers and throughout the entire evening held them captive.
 In one sense the lecture was not illustrated. There were no stereopt1- con pictures. In another sense it was profusely illustrated with bright word sketches. of people, rapid-fire incl dents of a humorous character, in forming geographical and historical touches, and graphic descriptions of mountains, valleys, rivers, bays mak- ing a climax in a vivid delineatlon of a great apple orchard in the Annapolis valley in May time The lecture closed with a touching portrayal of sunset on the Bay of Fundy.
 Doctor Slocum brought out the fact that his own great-great- great -SFand- father had been commissioned by Governor Shirley of the Province ot Massachusetts Bay in 174445 to go down to Louisburg on the south shore Of Cape Bretons Nova Scotia, and drive the French out of that strongly fortified town. He said that that accounted for his having been born in Nova Scotia rather than in some part of his adopted land
 The lecture is entirely new in sub ject and in treatment and it gets away from the beaten track of things and holds the nearer more loosely than if he were gazing at number of steTe- opticon views.
 Doctor Slocum made pleasant refer ence to his happy pastorate for five years in the First Baptist church of Concord and said that he had always been proud of Concord people.

 Hopkins 6 Aliens

Rev. Dr, Joel B. Slocum spoke on Partnership before a good sized audi ence of men at the meeting held under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A. at the Hopkins & Allen plant Friday noon. Vocal selections by Miss Elsie D. Brand panied by Mss Harriet Colt. Rev MT. Slocun said. in part
 An engineer in a cab pulls a lever gently forward and the great engine followed by its long train of heavily loaded cars, move forward on it's journey. Another lever in a tower throws switch far down the track rushes to safety. A little key touched with a human finger and a spark of electric intelligence leaps across the continent. In each of the eases it was simply 8 question of making the con- nection. Paul said: For we are la borers together with God" And. again: We then as workers together with Him. beseech you that ye receive not the grace of God in vain. And writing to another group of people he said: For it is God who worketh in you" Our silent Partner has unlim- ited resources. It is simply for us to connect with Him.
 thought that God greatly assists those who are toiling in conspicuous places. But the practical thought for us is that He is our Partner in the common task.
 Several years ago, on the border of the Libyan desert. 12O miles south of Cairo there were discovered what were purpoted to be some sayings of Jesus. One of them ran thus: Raise the stone and thou shalt find Me, cleave the wood and there am l." The interpretation is obvious. The car- penter and the mason engaged in lowly toll will find the great Partner near to help. All who work with roughened hands or weary brains will find the Master or men at their side.
 And this Silent Partner is available only to those who do right and accom- plish good. Tie moment a man does wrong he begins a fight against God. All heaven is against the evil doer and all heaven is on the side of the man who is determined to do right.
 Dr. Slocum appealed to the men to go into partnership with Jesus Christ the laboring mans best friend.
