REGARDING RELIGION.
In lho recent national Socialist convention at Indianapolis an observer rmint-ed 19 cWgytnon among the delegates on the floor. There may have been more tihan that, but this many ho counted. The nicyc!opa---dia gives tho IVUowing aimmg iis definitions of Socialism : "The ethics ,if Socialism are closely akin to, ii' not identified with, the ethics of Christ i.tniiy." It N somewhat dilfienlt for an impartial observer to find the bas-N for (lie alleged hostility of Socialism to religion. The basis of all civilised religions, ns we uiiderstaiul it. is recognition of the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood ol Jlan. Of jeeerit years some of the church' , s have seemed prone to forget tho limtherhood of Man. Hetween Socialism and that kind of religion we admit a l'undaiii"nti;i] hostility. There is none between it and the'religion that Christ taught,—'-Chi-cago Evening World."
