SOCIALIST SUNDAY SCHOOLS
It was recently stated that an effort was to be made to establish a Socialist Sunday school in Palmerston North, says the M.D. Times. As nothing further has been heard of the matter, the project probably failed, as it deserved to do. It is interesting to note that the Socialists of Australia are making strenuous efforts to corrupt the minds of the rising generation. Here, for instance, are a few lines from a Red Flag song which young Australians are asked to sing:— ‘‘Onward, Christian soldiers, duty’s cause is plain, Slay your Christian brothers, or by
them be slain; Pulpiteers are spouting effervescent
swill, God above is calling you to rob, and rape, and kill. Onward, Christian soldiers, rip, and tear, and smite, May the gentle Jesus bless your dynamite.”
