SOCIALISM AND CHRISTIANITY
Because he delivered a lecture be
'??re ;i socialistic meeting, so press
dispatches suite, a Bellingham minis- 1
'? r was compelled to resign by his!
congregation, who in self righteous
horror, believed that the principles of
tbrisianity and s<H'ialism were incom
patible.
1 hat such an attitude is narrow
nunded is needless to say. Farther
"lore it displays the crassest ignor-j
auce of the fundamentals of socialism
?and Christianity as well.
i here is a widespread misconcep- !
Hon as to what socialism is. Not
one person in a hundred has the re
motest idea of what it really stands!
i -jet these very people condemn it'
i he popular opinion concerning social !
wtic theories is at a wide variance
*;th the actual facts.
True socialism can fairly b--,
defined as being "an ideal the-l
ory of economics and government."
Socialists are not in unity on '
many principles; but al so
cialists seek to eliminate the basic in- 1
< qualities in our present economical
system and to replace the,,, bv con
tiitions that will give the plain people
a squarer deal.
Socialism for the present and for
'?any generations in the future can
OU,y b'' ;i theory? for it predicates
iJval conditions and high standards
?f morality that do not now exist-'
that may never exist.
But the socialist seeks to attain!
rnes,. hiRh standards, he seeks to ad-i
Just humanity to lofty ideals, and;
thUs he is ,loinK a work in politics I
and economics that corresponds with)
what the preacher and moralist is,'
attempting in religion.
tor Christians to oppose socialism:
'hows bisotry and Ignorance. Christ i
himself was a socialist if there ever
one. Most of bis teachings were!
frankly socialistic. Socialism itself
works along the better and broader
""es or Christ's sayings.
No less a person than Theodore
Koosevelt has b^n misled by the cur
rent misconceptions of socialism and'
haS bUterI-v it. Roosevelt
was never subtle or profound and he'
?iade th- mistake of confusing the!
doctrines of free-love and atheism'
with those ?( socialism. These doc- 1
t"nes have absolutely relation-,'
>?or ar>- free-love and atheism so vie-'
mus as is generally believed.
future generations will owe much
10 It will equalize condi- '
UtDS ot ,,vin? far as possible if'
"ill tend to make the world wide
brotherhood 0f man more than an
?mpty phrase. it will accomplish
many needed reforms. Even now its
menace has whipped our established1
political parties into making more lib- 1
oral policies.
Most students of political economy'
-re to a certain extent socialistic in*
tbeir beliefs. To scoff at this theory '
shows ignorance ? for theoretical '
U'W ar*umeut* can be adduced J
gainst it.
There is less than six weeks left I
before the opening of the A-Y-F ex
position and as yet no proper effort
has been made to have Skagway re
presented by an appropriate exhibit.
This matter should not be inflected.
Two residents of Skagway were,
"jugged" for giving a pail of beer to
Indians. They are liable to be "soak
td" when the court gets through with!
them.
Thou shalt not raise a false report
put not thine hand with the wicked
to be an unrighteous witness.? Exo-i

Help improve the appearance of
Skagway next Saturday by cleaning
up your premises.
