expression made last night by DR..
Edward Ellis carr former editor Of
the christian Socialist" in his ad-
dress at the First Baptist church on
SOCIALISM and Christianity"
DR.. Carr Iikened the spirie Of COM
mercialism to a mammoth beast,
whose huge telons reach out and
clutch mankind. whose spirit is one
which saps the life blood from it's
victim, and whose method is the ex-
ploitation OF another person for the
purpose OF rent, interest and profit.
The speaker drew ar analogy be-
tween scientific socialism and Chris
tianity quoting passages from the
scriptures TO emphasize his asser-
tions. Lay not up for yourselves

Jesus. were held up TO the audience

There is something radically wrong
with the teachings Of Jesus. or there
is something fundamentally and
radically wrong with the system Of
profit" DR.. Carr said in conclusion
20 his sub-topic that the spirit of
commercialism was like the spirit of
the Carnivarous beast which preys
on the weaker herbiferous tribes for

only purpose Of the individual is to
see the hOpelessness Of profit. the
futility OF attempting to establish q
