STRONG PLEA FOR A UNITED
PARTY.
DIVIDED Party PIeases Enemy.

Divided Party Pleases Enemy.
Spokane, Wash, March 20, 1914.
Are we big enough and magnan-
nous enough to disregard the trivial
ties, the insnuatlons, and the miscon-
structions that have sprung up among
us since the division in the party?
| would fain believe that the funda-
mental ideals of Socialism are as dear
as ever to all the comrades who have
been provoked into expressions that
have been belttlng
But are we such mean fellows that
we can not make a noble effort to at
tain reconciliation?
TO attempt a reconciliation between
fools would surely be folly, but, be-
tween Socialists, it should be easy and
very probable.
The humiliating condition of a di-
vided party on the eve of a great
election must afford our common cap
italist enemies the greatest glee. A
large Socialist vote. even although it
may be largely a sympathetic vote, as
it frequently is, throws the capitalist
parties into a state of CONSERVATION
and they fly into one anothers arms
for comfort and support, and there is
very distinct modification of the leg
islative program to suit the rising tide
of democracy. But it will be in this
state and in every other state, as
it has been in Germany. The more
ameliorative legislation we get the
more we will want, and the more we
will force, and the more formidable
we will grow, until we control the leg
islative program and make it what we
want.
Therefore, we must go into the
primaries united party. No comrade
should be so base as to hinder such
an undertaking.

Though very fond of hearing or

whom he liked very much, went home
with him after concert in EdlBburgh.
Both gentlemen sat down to coffee

they had not yet exchanged word.
Finally the guest risked bold and
novel query.
DO you like Beethoven"
The pianist emptied his cup aud
said, softly;
beethoven good"
Half an hour later came another
question:
And how do you like Wagner"
To which the other retorted:
"Wagner--not good"
Having exhausted his stock of in.
quisitiveness, the Scotchman got up
to bid his host adieu
Stay yet, my friend" said the
musician; Il like your conversation
very much"
And both remained In profound
silence until a. IN. struck, when
they wished one another good night

Birds Parental Devotion

Parental devotion was illustrated
few days ago In a case at Steeple
Ashton, wiltshire, England, in which
George Clifford. of Keevil. near Bath.
was charged with keeping young gold
tinches in captivity. It was stated by
an inspector Of the Royal Society for
the Prevention Of Cruelty to Animals
that he saw three young iinches in a
small cage at cnfiord's house. and
while questioning Clifford observed
two adult finches IN the vicinity Of
the house. First one and then the
other approached The cage. and passed
morsels Of food through the bars to
the fedglings. He learned that the
young birds were taken from a nest
in tree not far from the cage. hence
the continued parental attention to
the dietary of their young.

god appeals only to the mind, to the
memory, to the intellectual and physi-
cal side of man, the god is dead. Now
it SO happens that In the civilized part
of this world of ours today all the
gods are dead-save one-"Christ and
him crucified." The story of Christ
still appeals to the hearts of men,
still moves their wills, still influences
their conduct. So wonderful a God is
this Jesus, the Nazarene carpenter,
that he is more surely alive today than
ever he was before in the world.
The growth Of the idea of Christ In
the world parallels the growth of man
kind in fellowship, self respect, benevo-
lence and justice. The Christ that
men knew in the crusades is only a
small part of the Christ of today. The
Christ of today will be only a small
part Of the Christ that men shall know
tomorrow. Yet the ultimate Christ of
some distant age, the Christ who shall
lead men to whatever undreamed truth
shall make them finally free, was in
deed and in truth the God who left us
1000 years ago-he and none other.
How he came into this world is i'm
material. Whether he came with a
physical miracle or not is of little CON
sequence compared with the greatest
spiritual miracle In the world that &C.
CURED when such a vast flood of d.
vinity flowed into the world through
the Nazarene carpenter. The miracle
OF virgin birth must be accepted upon
faith; the miracle of the influx of di-
vine truth through Jesus Christ finds
its indisputable proof in the slow but
resistless upward struggle Of lei to-
ward the ideal which Jesus taught.
