We also prefer to judge Socialists by those we know rather than
by those we read about. W hile we do not agree with them in their
severe criticism of the church, we m ust recognize that there is a d if
ference between church and religion. The two should go together,
but it is possible for there to be church w ithout religion and religion
without church. We do not believe religion would m ake m uch pro
gress without church; certainly church would m ake no progress with
out religion; but we fail to see in an honest criticism by some of the
Socialists of the work of the churches a blasphem y of religion,
especially when we are fam iliar with the lives of those m aking such a
criticism .
Socialism, in our opinion, will never succeed, but if it ever does
become a power in the land, it will become so through the efforts of
those of its members who are students of the Good Book/ of the
philosophers and of the problems of the day, rather than through
those ruffians who publish screeds about the public men of the nation
and blasphem e the Lord in the nam e of Socialism .
No great and perm anent movement ever yet succeeded through an
appeal to the lower passions of m an. Socialism will be no exception
to the rule. It is m aking progress because of the men in it who be
lieve it a m eans to right m any wrongs. We doubt if the party would
have cast 1000 votes in the late election if its candidates had declared
for atheism and free love.
