Wheeling majority. [volume] (Wheeling, W. Va.) 1907-192?, 1914-03-05

Iother oily mugged besmircher of the
only party in the United States today
which fights the worhngmans battles
| to' show me one sentence in any of
the Socialist books or platforms is
Esued by the National Socialist party
| in which anything but good common
sense is taught some that he lacks to
la large degree.
The day is coming Mr., Schell when
such people as you will be glad TO
! list chariot of progress and it is the
hang on to the tailboard of the Social
only thing that is going to keep
Christianity from being put clearly out
of existence. Again it would appear
lmore favorable in line with the cler-
I gy of this country in their attacks on
Socialism if they sould show the work
ling class the foolishness Of this form
| of government and at the same time
show them one better. AS it is they
are discreetly silent in that direction.
| The moneyed class has them today
lust as it has had them in the days
| Of old under their protection as Ions
as they preach to suit their interests
i and to keep the working class in bon
dage.
| III the gentleman who today are en-
party desire to help their benighted
brothers why don't they preach
against white slavery which is today
recognized business. Why don't
they preach against child slavery and
help to get them back to school and
away from the mills and factories
when they are dying for the want of
fresh air and from over work when
they should be in the school house
and the play ground as The Almighty
intended them.
The average citizen, who, according
to- the churches teachings of today
is doomed to eternal punishment IN
less he accepts Christianity, it ap-
pears has a great deal to answer for
providing he don't do so but l think
that the Preachers and Priests will
nave a great deal more to answer for
than all the rest combined. They
| preach their sermons on some dry
subject today with their congregation
asleep, who mostly attend out of res
pect when they should be preaching
for the betterment of mankind. Gods
word is not only confined in the Bible
neither is his work confined to preach
| ing the same. Anything said or done
: for the uplifting of the human race
| Isl Gods work and should be taught
accordingly but today the average
minister of the gospel is content 10
conflne himself to the Bible alone.
| This article could no doubt have
been written better and more clearly
but it is written with the best eff
forts of the writer not for the dis
play of any enimity against churches
in general but as a refut grafton of
| contemtable attack on a movement
that is evolution not revolution. A
movement which in times to come is
going to take the entire earth with
it's strength and which is destined to
rule every government on the face of
the earth. Then We'll have little
| children where they were in tended
at home with mother. Well have
mother back home too and instead of
father staying at home reading the
want ads while little brother or sister
takes his job, we'll have Jim out at
a decent occupation making decent
wages so that he will be able to edu-
cate his children to something else be-
side slums, poorhouses and charity
such as the present day civilization
doles out.
