Has not His plans been so worked out in the itast? It will no doubt sceui sncreligious to some to link the socialist move iiiunt with the coming of the king dom of God on earth. Just so in the eyes of the scriltes and pliwri seuti was Christ sacieliius. He who nssociated with imblicaus ami siiiuur.s. He, the despised agitator, who said: "Goto, now, ve rich men, weep and howl " "Voeun to you scrtbes nuil pharisees, hyjM) critesl for ye devour willows' hous es and for pretence make long prayers." Who scourged the mon ey changers from the temple saying that they had made it a "den of thieves." liven them who! "sold doves" (for profit). His language was most radical and had a direct relation to economic con ditions. The average socialist is not re ligious in the common acceptance of the term. Hu merely knows he is working toward an ideal. And we read that he who hears the "Well done, good and faithful ser vant," "1 was an huugurad ami ye fed me, naked and ye clothed me," is utterly surprised and wants to know when it happened. And the reply, how apt I "In as much as ye have done it unto tliu least ot these, my brethren, yo hav done Wlilhwxxt Court, (ipK)itllo mIiI city of .St. Johns, That miitl city did at one time operate Mill ijimrry mid rock crush er im a iiiniiicltxil cute rtirUi'. tlmt In ki rilllS it is that only oiierntlne iwiil iiimrry mid crusher hrec are working for the 1 wiiiw of money were exeniltsl, tlie h.iiiic living Klv'.W) III VWI.1Ht til till ivtllllll durlvcil therefrom.

And then there are socialists who our critics say display anything but n Christian spirit. It must be that as in every reform movement there are tiudesirables.so also iiinoug the socialists are some who arc not such because of a full realization of the hopeless circumstances of the great majority under present con ditions. They have been kicked into socialism through the back door.

One of this class, recently, after taking port in a street corner meet ing wns culled by a friend to "come and get something to eat." "N'aw," he swirled, "I don't want any thing." "Come on," said the oth er, "We've got to have some sup k!i' and u bed." "Naw," he said again, and then his voice softened: "God! I never eat a good meal or sleep in a good bed but I feel as if 1 might be robbing some poor devil who needs it worse than I do." And so it seems to me that we might learn a lesson in charity from him awl consider tlie conditions of tlie vast majority before we con demn too sevetely.
