Putnam. W- ilsocialis-m and the Churches. _â€" In an interview with the Rev. Frank Ballard in Great Thoughts on “ Relig- ion nnd the \Vm-kingnmn.“ there are some sentences which should be ponder- ed over .by ministers and church mem bers alike. M r. Ballard.” “ that if only the church- es were Christian. the workingmen would turn to them in a. bodv. In all ncucleus is a large percentage who sing ferent thing on weekday.” But Mr. Ballard fails to explain this discrepancy between profession and practice on the part of church people We do notbelieve that the majority of' them wiltineg and willingly play the hypocrite. They do not'practicc de- ception. adulterate goods and overreaeh their fellows in business because they are bad and want to act in an unchris- tian fashion. but because, under the present economic system. they feel com pelled to resort to those means in order to “ succeed "â€"that is. to make money. Herbert Spencer tells us that, “ as the law oi' the animal world is cut; or be eaten. so ol' the trading community it may be said the motto is. cheat or be cheated." Competition contradicts tho ethics ol Christ’s gespel, compels men to violate the Golden Rule, and brings shame and conl'usinn on the church. There are, moreover. thousands of men who are in full sympathy with the teaching of Christ and who give to the support of the churches. who remain outside the membership of these bodies bccstusc they feel the incompatibility between the demands of. true religion and the demands of our industrial or- der. They know that “in business” they areobliged. if they would be ‘- suc cessful." to disregard the precepts of' the gospel, and they are unwilling to put themselves in a position where they would be open to the charge of hypocâ€" l'ISV. Under Socialism a man will no longur Feel that he must ride on the backs of others, or others will ride on his back; but it will be to the interest ol all to act in a brotherly spirit. The incentive to cheat. and to obtain wealth by unjust means will be gone when honest indus try is alone rewarded. and the worker is guaranteed the full value of his labor Socialism does not propose to change human nature or make men moral hv legislation. It simply proposes to do away with the necessity and possibility of one man succeeding through the fail are of another. It aims at. equality of' opportunity. economic freedom and jnsu tice For all. And if the churches un- derstood Socialism and were really sin~ core in the prayer. “ Thy Kingdom Come.” they would be in the vanguard of this great; movement for the abolition of capitalism and the inauguration of the (lo-operative Common‘xmhlth; For, as Edmund Kelly says. “ Christianity is only possible in a. society organized to transact its business unselfidily ”. Socialism alone will enable the church- you ask any particularly ‘Vell_dressed es to be (lhrlstian in deed as well as in man in Fenelon Falls or surrounding district, ‘Who makes your clothes?” invariably he will tell you ‘ "ElO'KN'IFTJ'I..E'Y..3 what he is doing for the Fall and Winter.

It is easy to see how to do away with what we call crime. It is not so easy to do it. It can be done by giving the people a chance to liveâ€"by (.lthtl'uyltlz special privileges. So long as big crim inals can get the coal fields, so long as the big criminal has control of the city coimcil, and gets the public streets for cars and gas lights, this is bound to send thous-iuds of p nor people to jail. The only way on earth to abolish crime and criminals is to abolih the big ones and the little ones together. Make. l'air conditions ol' lilc.
