One of my critics cites me to the

brethren the prophets, who have

Socialism about that think you?
Another of my critics says the So
cialists are not all of "whatness"
but that there are infidels etc. among
them.
Well brother maybe by your So
cialistic standard there are no fool
Socialists but let us apply another
standard and see what is the re-
suit.
1.-The fool has said in his heart
There is no God"-Psalms AL.
LET no man seek his own, but
every man another's wealth" (wel-
fare says the apostle Paul, LIST Cor.
1924.
Let the laboring men organize and
take over the wealth of the country
as soon as they get strong enough
the how you take it does not make
any difference say the Socialists.
Paul in the 14th chapter of the
Romans says, But why dost thou
Judge thy brother? or why dost thou
set at nought thy brother?
Let us not Therefore judge one
another anymore.
For the kingdom Of God is not
meat and drink; but righteousness
and peace.
Let us therefore follow the things
which make for peace, and things
wherwith one may identify another.
Any comfort to you, brother So
cialist, in this doctrine? Is there any
wonder that your leaders as, Debbs,
do not believe in inspiration or in
Moses? or that he wants the preach
ers out of the way.
You say l am trying to mix church
and State. In this you are mistaken.
am only trying to show you Social
lists and the public in general that
your contention that the teachings
of socialism and Christianity are
identical is utterly without founda-
ton in truth, and that exactly the
opposite is true, that the whole tenor
and tendency of the teachings of So
cialism is to undermine Christianity.
