The most serious and deplorable :f- feet of the llillis tirade against Social-' ism and trade uniOnism is the widening of the breach, already so wide, betwoen the churches and the Wage workers. it is true that Dr. Hillis sadly Inir‘reprc. sents the real spirit of the Christian church and the Christian ministry of this country; but, from the prominence he occupies, his words cannot but have an influence for ill which it will take the churches years and years to counâ€" teract. His doctrine of individualism is nothing short of a travestry of the Gospel of Christ, while his severance of Paul’s words, “Every man shall hear his own burden," from the context, “ Bear ye one another’s burdens and so fulfil the law of Christ," is not even honest dealing with the Apostlc’s thought. If individual excellence is to be found in each man seeking his‘own selfish development, and if fellowship of interest is a detriment to manly char ‘acter, then Christianity is a false light, and we must leok to paganism to point the way to the higher life. Nay, we do w even paganism an injustice. Did not the grand old pagan, Seneca, declare: M “]We are members of one great body, - . - p noted by nature in mutual love, and The same“ cnsls' fitted for social life. We must consider that we are born for the good of the whole? ” And was it not another pa- gan, Cicero, who wrote: “One thing ought to be aimed at, that the interest of each individually, and of all collect- ively, should be the same; for, if each should grasp at its individual interest, all human society whould be dissolv- ed?” Such teaching stands in noble and marvelous contrast with that of Dr. Hills, which can only be described as “ a wolf’s philosophy of life.” The competitive system is at best‘a fierce combat, with the prize of success going. not to the best man, but to the strongest and shrewdcst, and, in most cases, to the most unscrupulous fighter. Nothing could be more directly contrary to the gospel of peace and goodâ€"will. Christianity recognizes the need of a powerful incentive to the development of individual character, and proclaims it in the beauty and joy of emulation where all may strive and none need lose, in contrast to the cruelty of competition where whoever wins does so at the ex- pense of his fellows.â€"â€"-Ibid.

There are those who contcmn the cry for jus- ties that is going up all over the land, who regard the social unrest and agita- tion of our day as the whining of mal- contents and the work of cranks, and who dismiss the whole subject as unwor- thy the notice of sober minded citizens. And if such an attitude is becoming ex- ceptional, there are still numbers who. while admitting in a general way the existence ol grievances and the need of sonic measures of relief, have but little conception of the gigantic proportions which the discontent and demand for justice have assumed, and who have most mistaken conception of the real character and significance of the Social- ist movement of our time. The simple fact is that in the United States. in England, in Germany and in all the more enlightened and progressive nations of the earth the social ferment has increased in force and volume dur- ing the past few years, until to-day it may be said that civilization is rocking amid the throes of industrial revolution, and government is called upon to face the most momentous crisis of all history. The man must be blind who does not see this. No greater fallacy could exist than that which dismisses the social problem with lightness or attempts to answer the questions raised with the time-worn charge of “dangerous agi- tators ” against those who seek a scien- tific and practical solution of the prob- lem. The rising tide of public senti- ment in the direction ofindustrial dem- ocracy can no longer be treated with in- difference, nor can its demands be satis- fied with anything short ofa full, fair, irank, fearless treatment of the facts of the case. Time was when a great social phil- osopher, writing under the shadow of monarchy, wrote, “ The whole fabric of society will be destroyed if the poor, as well as the rich, are educated.” Time was when the exploiters of the people, because of the ignorance of the people, could settle every question of human rights with a “ wink.” But the time of that ignorance is past, and the God of Humanity now commands the ex- ploiters everywhere to desist. The philosopher was right. The “ whole fabric ” of the capitalistic idea of cool: etyis about to be destroyed. But a grander fabric of Human society is about to take its place. The people can be “ fooled ” no longer. The social problem, as Dr. Lyman Abbott puts it, has been reduced to the simple propo- sition, whether we, of the twentieth cen- tury, are going to be governed by a plutocracy or a democracy, and there can be no doubt as to what our decision will be. It is already formed in the consciences of the people, and the next few years will see it worked out in the gradual but certain acceptance of the principles of the Cooperative Common- wealth. So logically and inevitably do the demands of the social conscience and the application of the principles of, democracy to industry lead to Socialism, that the most acute thinkers of our day do not hesitate to say “ Socialism is ir- resistible and ought not to be resisted." â€"â€" Vanguard.

Benjamin Fay Mills, a prominent Socialist clergyman, says: “New Zealand is an illustration of a whole colony learning to love, where the Government insures the lives of the people, owns the railroads and telegraph and telephone lines, and administers all these for the people, rather than for pri- vate profit. If you stand in' the city station, you will see free trains coming in with the country children to see the sights, and others going out with the city children for a day in the country. The Government operates 9. Postal Sar- ings bank, and-superintends the whole banking system, so there is no stealing. the people's funds. It is breaking up the great unused estates for the landless, until the tramp has lost his occupation, and is settling down to be a settler and a land holder. It imposes progressive income and land taxes, causing the burdens to fall where they can‘easily be borne. Industrial war is at an end. The Government makes advances to set- tlers who want to found homes, and loans money on any kind of produce; it markets live stock and the products of the soil, and it gives pensions to all old people who need them.

The farmers of Kansas are making an effort to pool their interests and pro- tect themselves against the railroad trust and others who live from the earn- ings of the agriculturist. In a public address issued by a committee of farm- ers in Cowley county. they say :, " The lesson of combining for mutual benefit must be learned by the farmers, or they are lost”; which indicates that the far- mers are getting onto a few things. The sentiment among farmers in favor of Socialism is much stronger than up. pears on the surface.
