Curse of Luxury.

The most judicious historians. the most learned philosophers, and the profoundest politicians, all lay it down as acertain indispensable maxim, that wherever luxury prevails. it never fails to, destroy the most fiourishing states and kingdoms; and the experi- ence of all ages, and all nations, does but too clearly demonstrate the truth of this maxim.-Charles Rollin.

What The Church Needs
(By Joshua .Wanhope)

The Church wants to get a move
on and shake this capitalistic incum-
bus of, which is strangling her into
unconsciousoe ss and then denouncing
and mocking nei for lying inert and
helpless. We dot knew how much
she can really dot may perhaps
be much less than they say, or even
than she thinks herself-but at any
rate she can do nothing with that load
on her neck. How she can even cid
de-. is a mystery of sorts She may
need our help to get rid of them, and
she is in reality getting it, only as yet
she doesn't quite understand When
the work of throwing them off is COM
fpleted, she will feel much the better
for it, and at least have a chance
to show what she can do, a chance
to grow and do omething more use
full than ';fidling". She should take
an example from us Socialists Long
ago we shook the capitalistic incum-
bus off, and look how we have grown
since in less than twenty years,
from paltry two thousand, to over
ia million. And we are all poor peo-
pie, too. Can the Church show any
thing like that? No. She can only
show deficit, and then she HIS, poor
thing, to pretend to believe that we
are fighting her and taking her mem
bers away, and that our purpose is
to destroy her. The capitalist crew
who are strangling her tell her that,
and the long suffering creature has
to swallow it in the same manner
| that she swallows their abuse and
censure of her for doing nothing, and
their impudent assumption that the
Kingdom of heaven is in their money
bags. Though Christ said that it was
Easier for a camel to go through the
eye Of a needle than for one of this
pack to enter. the kingdom OF, heaven
they not only assume to enter, but
swipe the Kingdom itself and carry
it here in their packs.
The Church wants to buck up and
send these fellows packing and give
'erself chance to grow and be use
full and show us what she can really
do, a chance which she will never
get while they are sitting on her head
And we Socialists are really helping
her to do this, if she could only rec.
ognize the nature of our assistance
We are in reality about the only peo.
pie who insist that she shall have a
fair show, and who come to her de.
