can't even express my views on
The Millennial Reign without
taking the position that all other
governments must go down.
And the minute [ say anything
ike that I am in danger Of being
classed as a @revolutionist."
But to me the Bible plainly
teaches that all these present
governments must end-SOME
M And if the time has now
come, and if [ see it and tell you
about it, does that make me to-
blame for it's coming? If [ don't

to me the approaching collapse,
how am [ going to say anything
about it at all?
If it is true, as I belive, that
the Old Age is now passing out
and the New Age coming in, it
certainly involves some mighty
sweeping changes in the worlds
| affairs.
Well, then, let us look around
and see who is ripe and ready for
a change, and who is not.
Are the Republicans ready to
give up our present capitalistie
system of government? No in
deed! They say this old skin-or-
be-skinned arrangement is good
enough for them. All they want
is the offices, and the govern
ment can remain as it is.
Are the Democrats ready for
such a>change as we now see ap-
preaching? No boy! You bet
they are not!
Well, then, the question arises:
What political group IS ready
and eager for such a change as
we have in mind?
The Socialist group, of course.
The poets, dreamers, Missionaries
and Socialists who caught a
glimpse of the Better Day away
back. yonder and have been
pressing toward it ever since?
Now can't you see how natur-
al it is for me to lean toward
the political group that has ''fol
lowed the vision' and now stands
ready to welcome the Better
tDay? T.
The Socialists have always
made one mistake. They have
entirely ignored God and over.
Hooked the Divine'P Plan and tried
to do it all themselves. Now they
. see the goal in sight, and they
Honestly believe : they have
drought it about by their OWE
unaided efforts. But the fact is,
they have been following Gods
plan without knowing it.

flor one more bad disappoint-

; world, with a free. hand to carry
tout their plans fora man-made

But I am sorry to say they
will fail just about as bad as the
Icapita1ist governments have fail

fright thing in the wrong way.

7 liable than not to be trying at ali,

It puts chunks under the wheels
and tries to make the world

the stand-patters can do the
world continues to move. And.
it moves always in the direction
that the poets and Socialists
have gone.
The world has always let it's
poets and prophets starve to
death, and then after a hundred
years or so it builds monuments
to them and worships them.
It is not a bit strange to me
that Socialists are misunder-
stood and prosecuted and lied
about. It is part of the disci-
pine that it takes to make them
strong in the faith. A giant
would never know how strong he
was if he never had anything to
lift. To be misunderstood and per
secuted is the highest testimony
of worth. A paper string is
never heated red-hot and ham,
mered with a sledge-but a. steel
chain is. A horn bottom has
never been through the fire-but
a gold coin has. Pilates little

could not have gotten in any

The action of the New York
Assembly in refusing to seat
five duly elected Socialist repre-
sentatives was another gun that
kicked backwards harder than it
shot forward. That case will go
down as one of the blacklist and
most disgraceful chapters in the
history of American plutocratic

and classes has never been seen

have depended on the capitalist
daily papers for your news you
did not get the truth about it.
The average daily paper positive
ly WILL NOT tell the truth
about anything that pertains to
the great class struggle if it can
possibly find a lie to tell. There
may be a few exceptions, but
they are about as scarce as hens

talk awful santified on the editor,

they are lying like the very OLD

about it. Probably you woule
have acted a little differently il

Of course crimes and excesse:

good PROOF about this matter
IS it is possible for anybody tc

and seeing for themselves, and
MY information is that family
life goes on in Bolshevik Russia
just as it does in other countries,
and that the women are more
highly honored and esteemed
than ever before. And it is a
fact that the Lenine-Trotsky
government has dotted the land
with schools where the unlearn-
ed peasantry is being educated
as fast as possible. In this re-
spect Bolshevism has done more
for Russia in two years than
Czarism had done in all the CEN
turies since Ivan the Terrible.
am not defending Bolshevism
as a system of government. It
has it's faults, and maybe it has
some purity bad ones. I don't
suppose Lenine himself would
claim that it was perfect. But
the main big reason why it gets
SO much cussing from the out
side is because it is different"
1t represents a radical change
from the old way of running
governments. It is a new

world. It is one kind of Social
ism, evidently; but it is not the
same as American Socialism by
a long shot. Under ordinary
conditions the two ideas would
be bitterly antagonistic. The
reason there seems at present
to be a thread Of sympathy be-
tween them is because they are
forced to fight a common enemy
