fundamental thought Of socialism
and in their enthusiasm would point
a future. We agree on the essen
tial. We may disagree widely on
the possible future it would create
Can you see wherein this affects
my belief in God?ir
But Mr.. Collins states that I can
mot be Christian because the doc
trine of socialism, its foundation is
the Materialistic Conception of His
tory, or in plain language, the de-
NAL of God. What does it mean?
That God did not reveal religion but
that religion is result Of the con-
dition in the material world, in 9TH
err words that oman creates Cod"
The Materialistic Conception Of
History is theory that. does not af-
feet the original proposition of So
eialism, that is the trust ownership
|of> the tools and commodities can
only be settled by collective owner
|ship. This other theory is a separ-
ate proposition and stands and falls
on it's own merit and truth. A So
socialist may accept ittor not as he
chooses. In making this idea the
basis of socialism, Mr.. Collins miss
ed his subject entirely. By his do
ling so, we are justified in the state
ment that he did not discuss social
ism at all.
Z But what justification had he for
his statement? There is not a chap
ter ins the De Capital devoted to this
subject which Mr.. Collins makes this
basic idea. In a few sentences
Marx expresses the idea that "the
religious world is but the reflection
of the real world, 4 and that for a
society built economically on the pro-
dnction of commodities, Christianity
with it's idea of abstract man was
the most fitting religion.
The idea was later enlarged into
the theory that the economic sur
roundings of man determined the
character of his life and thought. A
shepherds surroundings produced q
different life and thought than q
factory laborer's. We know this is
true. Does it deny God or that God
reveals Himself to man? No. God
made the world and rules it. Econ
omic' law is Gods law. God reveals
Himself to the shepherd in his
work in the pasture and with the
flock. He reveals Himself likewise to
the factory laborer.
We believe God reveals to Edison
His thoughts on electricity and me-
chanical art quite as much as He did
to Abraham. We believe that He
reveals Himself to every man in his
work and thereby determines the
character of that mans life and
thou ght. This is Economic Determ-
inism as see 1t. am not express
ing it in the language Of the origin
al advocates Of the idea. am show
ing that it does not deny God.
Newton discovered the law OF
gravity. He declared it a natural
law. We believe 1t is Gods law.
Marx announced the law of Econ
omic Determinism as law of the
natural world. We believe these
laws are alIGod's laws.

The game at Forest Hills was one
OF the best of the league series. and
it was only when Englewood buncheI

enth that either team had a chance
TO score. Englewood's rally. coupled
with an error by Hunt Worth, where
by BeCkvermit's single rolled through
for two bases. let the Jerseymen have
two runs which Forest Hills was I'M
able TO discount.
Il was a patched-up Englewood
team that took the field. and Frank
Bien, the ancient and honorable pres
ident of the league. had an oppor-
tunity 20 play his first full game o.
the year. Frank had the berth ia
right field and Lou Doyle and Ernie
Mecabe kept him busy chasing off into
foul territory for Ay balls which Ty
Cobb would have had difficulty in
reaching. Even at that Frank played
a superlative game, although his bat
ting eye has apparently lost It's lustre.
The Lewis brothers, who have been
the backbone Of the Englewood team
through two campaigns, and Sadowsky
were the absentees.
Gil Kinney and George Knox. who
are in q race TO Guido Johnny Evers,
kept everybody happy. They derided
each other through the whole game,
and Knox felt that he came out sec
ond best because Kinney slammed out
a two-bagger for one of the three hits
made off Beckvermit, while Meeabe
had Knox guessing all the time.
George did pull down ripping liner
hot of Rollins's bat late In the game,
which eased his mind a little, but did
not smooth IL out altogether.
Beckvermit and Mecsbe had stir
ring battle, and the little Englewood
pitcher had a slight advantage. Engle-
wood got only five hits of Mecabe.
while Beckvermit held Forest Hills 10
three. Beckvermit struck out ten men
to Mecabe's FIVE and passed two 20

Englewood scored It's two runs in

was forced at second on Reimund's
attempted sacrifice. Beckvermit did
much toward winning his own game
by slashing a single TO right which
Worth booted making IL good for two
bases. Hulse let one Of Mecabe's
curves get away from him and Rel

lowed him across the plate a moment
later when Barnwell dropped slow

The massive silver bowl offered
in the name of Goddard Weld
Saunders at the junior metropoli-
tan lawn tennis championship tour
nament last week has done much
TO arouse the interest OF the young
or PLAYERS of the game in the East,
and the incentive II offers to the
future court stars should do much
for the good of the game in this
country.
The name of Charles S. Garland,
of Pittsburgh, who won the tour
nament last Friday, Is the second

Is put up for perpetual competi-
ton. Garland proved himself a
worthy successor ia. Harold A..
Throckmorton, who won the cham
pionship in 1914.
During the years that the Juniors
will struggle for the metropolitan
title in the future, the sides OF the
bowl are certain 20 contain the
names of those destined TO achieve
great things on the courts.
Young Saunders, who was himself
n connection in the tournament,
stands in the same relation TO this
trophy that Dwight +. Davis does

AFTER FOUR SETS
Wins Second Leg on Nyack Club
Lawn Tennis Trophy.

Abraham Bassford captured a second
leg on the Nyack Country Club Cup by
defeating C. l.. Johnston, jr., in the
final match Of tho clubs annual tourna-
ment at Nyack yesterday by score Of
"a, 90, SO, 6-8. The match
should have been played off week ago,
but was postponed so Johnston could
keep another engagement.
Bassford, who won his first leg on
the trophy last fall, played a spirited
game and had Johnston on the de-
fensive practically throughout The
first set was hard fought, and Bassford
won by his rapid fire volleying. He
took the second with case, but seemed
TO have overplayed himself, because
Johnston came back strongly in the
third set and ran away with it, al
though Bassford rallied toward the
end. The fourth set found Bassford
himself again, and he won it at 6-S.
