HALL HERE.
Inc knights of Columbus, pursuant
to the action Of it's supreme council,
AaS instituted an active lecture cam
| algn In defense of the principles Of
the oroer. which is founded upon the
doctrines of the Catholic church.
The services of David Goldstein of
Boston, a member of the order, who is
recognized as an eminent sociologist
and lecturer, have been secured for a
Lranscontlnentaf tour which began at
st. Adams, vt.
MIR. Goldstein is considered to be So
cialism's most formidable opponent.
He is often spoken Of as a walking en-
~cyclopedia Of knowledge related to the
entire ground of his subject.
Mr.. GoldsIein will lecture in Fargo
On Thursday. May %, under the aus
p1ces of Fargo council Of the Knights
Of Columbus.
In his lecture Mr.. Goldstein will ex-
rose socialist PRINCIPLES by contrasting
them with christian philosophy; make
clear the double-dealing tactics of So
cialists. He will show why a man can
not at once be a Catholic and a social
list; giving basic reasons why the
church opposes it's propaganda.
Mr.. Goldstein is joint author with
Mrs. Martha Moore Avery Of a work
entitled, Socialism: The Nation Of
Fatherless Children. This book is most
highly recommended by ex-President
Roosevelt, Samuel Gompers, and other
leading men in the public life of our
country.
Speaking CT his work in Chicago,
The New World says:
I'VE do not think that there was a
man or woman present at the magni-
61o-4 ,JJra-e InJjIyoraJ lost Gy1rIoT%
evening at st. Alphonsus' hall on So
cialism that did not realize that MT
GoIdstain has indeed made this sub
ject his own. "
His treatment of the subject reveal
ed the fact that he has read every
side of the question and knows the So
cialist point Of view quite as well as
that of tho Catholic church.
Truth is we have too many people
attempting to discuss this subject Of
Socialism without fitting knowledge or
grasp of the subject. 1t is a question
that reaches so deeply into our moral
life and touches SO many sides of the
social fabric that no person should at
tempt to discuss it publicly unless he
has given thought to ~it-given such
measure CT study to 1t as Will make
clear and certain his position, make
clear, convincing and rrefutabl his
conclusions.
'The question of socialism and it's
gospel as pronounced and propagated
by it's disciples in this country is fun
Of danger to our christian civilization.
and the lecturer who would hope to
carry conviction while discussing this
| subject must above all treat 1t as a
| moral as we'll as an ques-
ton. -,
Nov Mr.. Goldstein does this and
does it fearlessly. We would like to

and speak to not an audience or 6Oe,
but an audience Of 5000, for he is
worthy of the support Of our Catholic
people everywhere"
Mr.. .Goldstein was formerly a mem
Der Of the socialist movement. He was
its first candidate for mayor OF the
city of Boston. He resigned from the
socialist movement eleven years ago.
| This was nine months after a futile
| attempt TO induce the socialist party
to debar from it's platform those per-
sons who advocate violence, irreligion
and free love.
II is the eminent fitness of Mr.. Gold
stein for the work he is doing that
caused the board Of directors of the
knights of Columbus to select him for
this course of lectures. The ..........
Council of the K. of C. and it's friends
look forward with sincere interest to
the lecture by Mr.. Goldstein, which
will no doubt be of intellectual value
to the entire community.
Mr.. Goldstein is a ready debater
After hearing his reply to the Rev. Mr.
Drake, a correspondent to the press OF
Lewiston, Me-, wittily writes:
after hearing Mr.. Goldstein's clever
lecture and rebutta1 last evening, / an
moved to say that while the democrats
are represented by a donkey, the pro-
gressives by a bull moose, and thu
standpatters by the elephant, the SO
cialists are apparently represented b.
a Drake Of whom Mr.. Goldstein made
a dead duck"
Mr.. Goldstein is usually greeted witt
packed houses. His recent debatt
with a socialist representative !,
Springfield, Mass, was attended b!
$500 persons, while thousands were
turned away. The Springfield Home
stead says monday, Dec. 20, 1919:
"% . = The representatives of thest
two opposing forces faced each othe
on the platform for nearly four hours
in one OF the most remarkable series
Of public utterances that this city hal
beheld for many years. in which tn
speakers and their beliefs were helt
up to derision and public ridicule.
"No decision was given in the de
bate, although to many 1t appeared 81

This seemed to be the general opin
ion as expressed by the audience as j
was leaving the hall. One thing il
certain, and that 1t, that the grea
audience, the huge number turned ava.
for lack of room, and the attitude o
the audience as well as the speakers
was one of the most remarkable dem
constructions the city has ever had o
the vital and universal interest tina
the people are manifesting in the sub

clearer than any other single one I,
