interest. I have neither cooled
off" nor warmed up" I have
simply come by gradual degrees
to see the whole world situation
in. what I believe to be it's true
relations. And because / be-
lieve Socialism is destined to
play a leading part in the great
upheaval that will usher in the
New Age, | cannot leave it out
of my calculations.
Dr.. CrenshaW said in his letter
that he agreed with my religious
and theological views, but did not
agree with my political views.
The very fact that he could make
such a. statement is proof that
he did not grasp and understand
my views on either subject. For
the fact is that they are one and
the same, and they cannot be
separated. You cannot accept
part of it and reject part Of it,
any more than you can ride part
of a horse and not ride the 9TH
er part.
My religious or theological be-
lief is that God is going to over
throw the governemnts of this
world and set up His own king
dom here pretty soon. But that
belief calls for something else.
HOW is God going to- do that
thing? There must be some
means used. The governments
will not just fall Of their own &C
cord. And God will not appear
visibly on earth and literally
kick them over with His foot,
Then how is it to be done? Ev-
identity by or through some hui
man agency. All right. Bus
what sort of a human agency ?
Gould it be one upon which the
existing governments would look
with favor? You know the pres
ent governments all CLAIM to
be good governments. You new
er heard tell of a nation that
! boosted of being a bad nation.
| No, they really seem to think
= that they are awful good, and
7 that they are working hand in
!, hand with God for the uplift OF
| humanity. And so / ask again
e-what sort of a human move
5 ment will it take to destroy these
governments? None of the pop
ular patriotic movements will
answer, because they "stand in
with the rulers. None of the or
thodox religions will answer, be-
cause they also have the sanction
and approval Of the govern
ments. They will all fight like
killing snakes to PRESERVE
the nations as they are. Then it
is a clear case that God will have
to use some unpopular movement
outlaw agency-which
does not "stand in" with the ru-
ling powers. It has got to be
? something that the nations will
> look upon as an evil thing, some.
} thing that they will denounce
and fight against with all their
power.
Well, now, let's see. Is there
any great movement in the worlo
that would fill the bill? Sure

'Nuther Argument
New Site, Miss,
7-10-192O.

[ am a subscriber to your paper,
and from time to time | have been
pleased to see the great searchlight
of Truth blaze along your path, en-
aiding you to discern, with fairly
clear vision, the now-opening scroll Of
Gods plan of the ages. And becoming
considerably pleased at your straight
from the shoulder blows at tradition
al errors, my admiration for you has
grown overnight, until now I feel to
be quite an intimate friend of yours.
And now, my dear sir, please don't
think that I am angling for a "Big
Dose" but my admiration for you
and my interest in your religious at
titude inclines me to complain-with
my hat off to your whole-souled hon
esty-that. your "Big Dose for the
Doctor" does you an injustice. Being
a stranger to you, and having read, I
believe, only one of your papers, he
is quite apt to mis-judge your sense Of
fairness, as well as your power Of
reasoning.
The conclusion Of your big Dose"
gives me to think that you and | are
not far apart in our opinion as to the
part Socialists will play in the Golden
Age. I ind m~yselfIin sympathy with
them ia many of their efforts to resent
the rank tyranny of the powers that
be. Indeed, I see in this party the
manifestation of the grooming creation
feeling Ger something better than
they had known;" but, like you, ] be-
1ieve they will mess things with their
man-made millennium. Nor do l be-
lieve their didoes will hasten the Lord
one moment ia setting up His king
dom. I think, however, that the hon.
est members of this party, who arc,
actually suffering on account of their
sympathy for the poor down-trodden
of humanity will be graciously blessed
and by reason of this quality of heart,
will readily grasp the glorious truths
that will shortly blaze forth from the
Son of Righteousness. But the So
cialist Party can never give to the
world that balm for which u hearts
pant. So it is unwise to waste time
with politics when we perceive that
the Lords ways are so infinitely above
ours. Let's take Brother Crenshaw's
caution and stay out of politics.
Nov, hofora ~o Lat a nvnlqIn
why I think your reply to the Doctor
was an injustice to you. In the first
place, I think you were unkind in your
treatment of his misSinformation. Had
he read all that you-or even have
read on the other side Of the question
I think his opinions of the Socialists
would have been greatly modified. Al
any rate, I think this man is perfectly
honest and is therefore entitled to d
small sip of the sweet milk which
should ever flow from an editor to
his subscribers.
You seem to under-value the idea
Of this man '"heartily accepting your
religious views" Now, if ysur relig-
ious views are correct, and if, indeed
the Socialists are in fer a great big
failure, then your religious ideas
should outweigh what "for old times
sake" sympathy you may yet retain
for this party. And had you not cool
ed off slightly in your religious view:
and warmed up a bit in your old time
political affiliations, it seems TO me
that you would not have left the Doc
tor-who holds with you relisiouay-
The fool-killer., 1920-12-01
and the

0@O
that unrest that you talk SO
much about is only a psychology
cal condition. 1t will all pass off
in a year or so, Ind the world
will get normal again"
Don't you fool yourself. It
will not pass off so easy as all
that. This tidal wave Of unrest
is going to stay right on the job
until all capitalistic forms of
government are swept away.
Every nation on. earth IS
roosting on a volcano, and most
of them know it. But they don't
know what to do about it. The
rich flock together with their
money and try to keep the work
ers subdued. The governments
resort to deportation and impris-
onment, but all that only adds
fuel to the fire.
So there is the agency that
God is going to use to overthrow
the nations. You may call it So
cial unrest, labor trouble, Social
ism, Bolshevism, OF whatever
you please. But there the thing
is, and all you slick-tongued 'pa-
triotic" orators and writer's can't
explain it away.
And I say that God can and
will use this restless, undeF-dog
element Of society to work out
His plans, even though the pee
pie who are being used do not
know that God is using them.
Strange as it may seem to some
of you, this very same rag-tag
army of discomfort is Gods ar
my. Many of the leaders of this
army are atheists and infidels
who have no knowledge of God
and who speak bitterly against
all religion. But still they are a
part Of Gods great conquering
army, and He will use them to,
work out His will among the ma.
tons.
The reason God can use this,
great mixed-up radical army is.
because of the fact. that in it's
own blind way it is trying to do,
the very thing that God proposes.
shall be done. God wants a COM
plete turnover Of the worlds.
affairs and a new Geal all around,
SO do the radicals. Therefore
God and the radicals are together
on that point. Of course God
understands very we'll that these
Socialist and Bolshevik radicals
have bit off more than they can
chew. He knows that they can
not bring the Millennium nor
change the earth into a paradise.
But He has a feeling of friendli-
ness and sympathy for them,
anyhow, simply because they
have had the courage to TRY.
He proposes to let them go ahead
with it as far as they can, and
then He will finish the job. About
the only thing this army of the
oppressed will succeed in getting
done will be to tear the old
structures down and clean up the
patch. But that job has to be
done before God can set up His
kingdom here.
Now can't you see why my
ISympathies are with the radi-

70 wall Win only a later, VALE you
shovel political food to the fifty thous-
and (elect) who are h~ungering for
this political dope.
In your defense Of the Socialists you
mention some modern prophets. Pos
sibly your fifty thousand elect COM
pany would be interested with a
lengthy quotation from Upton Sin
clair, Jack London, Bernard Shaw. or
any Socialist leader, as to their ideas
OF religion. Indeed, Tennyson sung
Of a "far-off divine event to which
the whole creation moves" But Ten
nyson was not a Socialist. He was
not singing Of the "evolved generation
OF giants" that Sinclair writes about.
He was singing Of a golden age of
peace ushered in by the glorious Son
Of Righteousness.
Looking back to the last column Of
your "Big Dose" I read: "The So
cialists have always made one mistake.
They have entirely ignored God"
Now looky here! If the Socialists have
always entirely ignored God, it's just
plum certain that they have play
| ed-always played-their little niece
on the stage of human progress with
out faith in God and without the
smile of Gods approval.
Again you say, "The fact is, they
have been following Gods plan With
out knowing it." Well, I don't wish
to dispute your word, but that's not
clear to me. IF they can follow God
and at the same time entirely ignore
Him, then faith must cut very little
odds when it comes to keeping n the
footsteps of the Master.
/ look again where you say, they
are trying to do the right thing in the
wrong way" Now if they are follow
ing God-knowledge or no knowledge
faith or no Falkland doing things
in the wrong way, who would they be
following should they catch a CLEAN
of that light by which they may strike
on to the right way? Huh?
Now, in conclusion, let me ask yor

REPLY 81
The above interesting letter
was received away back in July
and I am just now getting room
to print it and reply to it. The
letter, as you will observe, re
fers to my controversy with DR.
ICrenshaw on the subject Of So
cialism and the part it is likely
to play in. bringing about the
New Age conditions. And I sex
that [ will have to do a litti,
more "explaining'' in order tx
make my position clear.
The idea seems to prevail
among some of the good relig
ious folks that I show too much
sympathy for the Socialist move
ment, while at the same time
