To The Editor Lady's Astor's Campaign in Glasgow. Westmount, Qpe., May 22.--(To the Editor): Glasgow, as every one knows, is just now the scene of a pol- itical contest of a characteristically | violent character. As myself a native of that flourishing city, I have, in spiteof my fifty-two years on this side of the Atlantic, still a special interest in its public movements; and when I saw the heading, "Lady Astor in Plucky Fight With Radicals," my curiosity was naturally aroused. It was a very rowdy meeting indeed that the plucky little lady had to face, the leader of the Communists, we are told, was "a tall young man with a pleasant smile," and under his aegis Lady Astor was allowed to carry on a discussion, which "ranged over economics, religion, the charac- ter of the Clyde M.P.'s, and her own personal experiences." But what especially interested me was another young man, whom the stewards were about to put out, when Lady Astor intervened. ~ Inviting him to come up to the platform, she found out that | | he "was really troubled about wheth- er Socialism was not the teaching of Christ," and "took ' his address so that she might write to him later." Probably the very best thing for the peace of mind of that young man would be to come out.to Canada, and take an Arts course in Queen's, fol- lowed by two or three years attend- ance in the Theological College. That is not at all probable, but as there may perhaps be some other young man, even in a sober country like Canada, who is|similarly troubled, I should like to suggest that he might read carefully the First Epistle of Paul to the Thessalonians, which, properly understood, contains in a very few words the apostle's view of this important social question. To understand the attitude of the apostle, one must realize that the Epistle to the Thessalonians was a letter written to converts of his, who were mainly not Jews bat Greeks. Thessalonica, where they lived, is the modern Salonica, which, as any one knows who followed with closeness the "Great War," as we have come to-éall it, is situated at the northern end of an islet of the Gulf of Salo- nica. In Paul's day It was the capl- tal of the Roman province of Mace- donia. Here there was a Christian church, founded by Paul and Sil- vanus (Silas) about 50 A.D. We in these days have to bear in mind that Christianity was by no means the re- cognized form of religion: that in fact it had to fight desperately for its existence. In the Acts of the Apostles we have a graphic account of what took place shortly before the apostle wrote his letter to the members of the Christian community of Thessa- lonica, (I quote from Dr. Moffatt's scholarly translation). Paul, we are told, visited the church at Thessalo- nica, and "argued with its mémbers on the scriptures, explaining and lot with Paul and Silas, including a host of Greeks and a large number of leading women. But the Jews were aroused to jealousy; they got hold of some idle rascals to form a mob and set the town in an uproar; his As 10 for 15¢ 25 -» 35¢ also in round tins and cardboard boxes of 50 for 70¢ HIGHEST GRADE \VJIIRGIINITAY TOBACCO they attacked Jason's house (where Paul and Silas were staying) in the endeavor to bring them out before the populace, but as they failed to find Paul and Silas they haled Jason and some of the brothers before the politarchs (rulers of the city), yell- ing 'These upsetters of the whole world have come here too: Jason has welcomed them. They all violate the laws of Caesar by declaring someone else called Jesus is king.' Both the crowd and the politarchs' were dis- turbed when they heard this; how- ever, they let Jason and others go, after binding them over to keep the peace, (Acts XVII, 1-9.) Paul was quite accustomed to this violent opposition to his mission, but when he received a report from Tim- othy that the members of the church at Thessalonica needed strengthen- ing, he wrote to them the letter that we are familiar with as the First Epistle to the Thessalonians. And now I come to the bearing of this rather long prelude on our young Glasgow friend, who was troubled about the proper Christian view of communism. Paul says to his con- verts (Thess. IV. 9-12): "You need no one to write you upon brotherly love, for you are yourselves taught by God to love one another, as in- deed is your practice towards all the brothers throughout Macedonia. We beseech you, brothers, to excel in this more and more; also endeavor to live quietly, and work with your hands, so that your life may be cor- rect in the eyes of the outside world and self-supporting." Thought it has sometimes been mistakenly supposed that the first Christians formed a socialistic com- munity, there can be no doubt about St. Paul's belief that it is really a reversal of the true attitude of an enlightened Christian. I do not sup- pose that our young Glasgow Christ- fan will ever see this letter of mine, but if I had his address I would send it to him, and in any case it may meet the eyes of some Canadian youth who is troubled like him, about the true Christian view of socialism. Personally, I regard it 48 a menace to society which must be sternly resisted in all lawful ways, --JOHN WATSON. A Progressive View, Canadians engaged in agriculture and the other basic industries which will benefit by the tariff reductions effected by the present government, are concerned solely with domestic! problems, among which not the least important is a re-adjustment of taxa- tion which will relieve the primary producers of carrying more than their proper share of the burden, The trouble with the little flag-wavers is that their interest in Canadian in- dustries is limited to a few protect- ed manufacturers. As long as these are enabled to mulct the consuming body the industries upon which the wealth and prosperity of the country are dependent can look after them selves.--Regina Leader, ad IESE BlG FIRE SALE HEE AXA = 3% I oS OF Draperies, Curtains and Furniture-commencing WEDNESDAY, MAY 28th HOURS OF SALE 10 to 12 and 2 to 5 We will put on sale our stock of Drapery goods, Curtain materials and Furniture Covers.
