Dear Sir :â€"â€"In a recent issue of your paper there appeared a letter from Sundial, Alberta, on “Christian Soci- alism.” The writer of that letter has evidently never taken the time to find out just what Socialism is. He he- lieves it to be opposed to our religion ; he believes it to teach infidelity; he thinks it is powerless to change pres- ent conditions, which latter result is achievable by Christianity alone. As a result of a considerable degree of study of tliis'question, I have dis- OOVered that that oft-repeated argu- ment about infidelity is worth very. little. It has nothing to say about man’s spiritual alfairs, If it had, it would cease to be Socialism. It is simply a theory of Political Economy, at diagnosis of modern industrial evils, a proposed cure for those evils and a political movement to realize the cure. The term “ Christian Socialism” is a misnomer. It assumes that Socialism can be un-Christian. It cannot. As it is purely economic and political how can it Oppose Christianity, which has nothing to do with either of these realms ’1 You can no more have “Christian Socialism ” than you can "have f‘ Christian Arithmetic,” “ Chris- ;der by the abolition of poverty, at least in its grosser forms. It finds that our. present increase of poverty is the result of leaving the world’s indus- tries, the‘ producers of the world’s wealth, in the hands of a few who op- erate those industries, primarily, for private profit. It believes that the development of concentration of' in- dustry is forcing the hands of, the peo- ple; and the Socialist movement, mil- lions strong, aims to use the ballot to secure these entrusted industries to be operated by the people in the people’s- interests. That alone is Socialism. The: Church had better refrain from inter- fering in politics and economics. All its past interference has resulted in. bungling. By opposing the rising de- mand for Industrial Democracy, the Church may find a repetition of what, happened when she opposed emanciâ€" pation for the aegro, and burned wit- = ches at the stake. ‘ I may lack, and probably do, those ' powers of clear thinking and sound judgment which have been so lavishly " bestowed upon the enemies of Social- ism, and so sparingly upon its advo- _ cates ; but I cannot see why my sup- port of the economic and political the- ories of Socialism should make me less a Christian than those who do not so . believe. There . are. thousands of de~ tian Agriculture,” or a “ Christian l vout men and women in the ranks of Liberal Party in Politics.” :Amongst the supporters of the Liberal Party Socialism ; men and women whose ad- herence to its principles is a very are found both Christians and Athe- strong argument against these suppo- ists. I have found on mission fields just as many opponents of our faith in the Liberal and Conservative as in the Socialist ranks. Inger-5011 was a prominent Republican, but one would hesitate to oppose thatparty because it teaches infidelity. The Socialist Party does not oppose religion any more than any other party; not a word can yOu find in its party plat- forms anywhere in Opposition to our faith. There is not a reputable and recognized organ of the Socialist Party on this continent that teaches it eith- er. It is true, many Socialists do dis- believe in Christianity, but one cannot hold their economic beliefs to be res- ponsible for their theological errors. What right have I, because I be- lieve a certain method of farming to be wisest, to denominate it “ Christian Farming?” “That right has my broth- er Of Sundial, because I believe Social Ownership of Public Utilities to be in the best interests of the race, to rank me as an infidel on that account? Christianity has committed itself to no economic theory or political party. It dare not. It has no more right to call my advocacy of Socialism, un- Christian, than his advocacy of pri- vate ownership by the Trusts. Socialism finds that 'many of our economic evils come from poverty and the unjust distribution of wealth, and it aims to produce a better social or- sed infidel tendencies._ If we, I pre- sume, would only sacrifice our convic- tions and 'cease demanding political ' , emancipation for the race and come . back and say, like obedient children, that we are sorry and won’t do it again, then our brother will grant us absolution and restore us to our posi- tion among the dear Old orthodox saints, whose god is not God, but An- tiquity. My brother’s ideas on some subjects are highly reactionary. His advocacy of a Church censorship over our in- vestigations after truth smatters of Roman Catholicism. What right has he to shut us from reading infidel, let alone Socialistic, literature? He is guilty of a. most unworthy insult to ‘ our faith, when he is afraid to letthe light shine on us lest we lose our faith. If Christianity does not dare to come to the light of candid investigation, it is of those “who love darkness rather than light.” It is an unworthy political manoeu» we to draw Socialism out of its ele- ment, and to try to strangle it where it has no chance for life. Socialism, as a much-needed revolution in the tenure of capital and manner of proâ€" duction of wealth, is inevitable, and it seems a strange Christianity which goes out of its way to oppose that whose only fault it is that it is proâ€" (Concluded on eighth page.) 74 Years in Business.
