The convention was well attended, was harmonious and enthusiastic. Many organizaiions have been effected in the last three months and an able and active organ izer will be constantly kept in the field. Socialism is spreading with marvelous rapidity in Kansas. It was with the intention to defeat St John's College, in a game of base' ball, that the Akron boys came to town last Saturday, but fortune would not permit them. Before the game opened the Akron boys were al most certain of victory, but although the weather was somewhat chilly St John's defeated them by the score of 19 to 11.

Considering the weathej and the practice the teams have had, the playing on both sides was good. Inability to give their pitcher sup port when men were on bases, caused the defeat for Akron. The battery work on both sides was good. Geuda Springs, Nov. 16, 1901; Editor Advocate: The first general Socialist meeting by our branch was held at Smith's hall last night.

It was certainly a success, beyond our expectation, there being about one-hundred-fifty persons present composed or all the political beliefs. Harry M. Tichenor of infield de hvered a lecture on "Scientific Social ism," and gave a very clear history and explanation of "Competition" "The Wage System" and other bru talities generally. He'gave many a better, idea of the principles of Socialism than they ever had before, and we believe it will cause them to investigate the ques tion. which is all that is needed.

Our local organization is growing nicely and many who have never paid any attention to economy are De coming interested in the vital issues of today. in. a. wells. In like manner the primitive houses built of poles and bark and branches of trees, have grown into beautiful mansions; bark canoes into ocean steamers; tramways into railroads; clans into nations; and education, civilization and religion have advanced "with each new discovery of truth and each great concept of the imagination.

The religion of the future will recog. nize this as a factor in its calculations and instead of persecuting the idealist, will encourage him to follow his high est concepts of truth, live them, ex emplify them until tested by experi ence they be proven to be practicable or impracticable. If a man believes he can invent a flying machine, let him try it, and if he flies the world will beliivein him. If a man believes in faith cures, let him test them, if he recovers from his sickness he is not in jured, if he dies he will not be shot or drowned or hung. If a man wants to be immersed or sprinkled or be baptized in any other mode, the church of the future will administer it.

In other words, they "will permit anyone to follow the light as it comes to him, and yet belong to their order. The religion of Socialism will leave men free for the full growth and development of all their powers. It will be world wide in its scope and aims and is the only movement that can convert the world to Christ, be cause it is the only one that is purely altruistic. Into many of our heathen lands, it would have been better if our missionaries had not gone, than hav ing gone, to have prepared the way for our commercial greed and civilized vices. But with the abolition of war, commercialism, saloons, gambling and ideas of caste, the church of the future can convert the world in less than a century.

It will commend itself to the best thinkers, because it holds only fundamentals as essential. It will fos- ter and encourage new discoveries in religious thought rather than perse cute on account of them. It will tend to unity instead of division, because it gives liberty in non-essentials. It will not waste time in dealing with effects, but will deal with causes. It will not uphold the capitalistic system which renders millions of people homeless, and then have sewing societies, chari.

ty balls, chicken pies, oyster stews, and bazaars to make money topay mis sionaries to preach to them about "the home over there," or teach them to sing "A tent or a cottage, why should I care." It will be a church with a great pur pose; a great inspiration; the sweep of victory; keeping step with the progress of truth; energized by the spirit of love and converting the world. The non-union workmen and the union workmen, will have to unite; for the cause of labor is the same all over the world. The cause of the negro and the cause of the working man of the north are fast becoming the same cause. There is only one great contest for this age, and that is labor and capital. There is coming to our address a paper called the "Christian Nation," New York.

It is the organ of the Covenanter Presbyterian church. We do not know all about the creed of that church; but we know the paper is right on moral and social questions; and we are delighted to see a church organ advocate practical socialism. of Holiday Goods than he has ever room to help him out are going Come and See.
