THE FRIEND I MET.
(By Nellie M. Coye.)
I met a friend, the other day—
He wore a cap of red;
Yet as I passed he did not deign
To lift It from his head.
Instead, he gave a saucy quank,
With head atilt, for he
Was just a downy woodpecker
A-tapping on a tree.
“ Be Kind to Animals.”
YOUR FAITHFUL FRIENDS
Useful animals are entitled to the
best of treatment. The horse that
hurries to get you to your work, to
your school or takes you for a pleas-
ure ride, ought to be well fed, well
groomed and comfortably stabled.

he had done a few odds and ends of
sorvlce in the afternoon, which had
brought him, all told, twenty-five
cents. It had been a fairish day,
financially, and he couldn’t complain
about that.
But Denny felt lonely. Overpower-
ingly lonely. The very holiday at-
mosphere pressed down upon him a
sense of his own smallness and in-
significance as a living creature. He
might as well be dead, in fact, so far
as any one cared. So far as his own
worth to humankind was concerned.
So, after bolting a sandwich, he had
sought refuge from the crowds and
their mocking gaiety, among the
boxes at the river’s edge.

MOYER'S OWN STORY OF
BRUTAL ASSAULT
Encouragement For Socialists
DENNY.
Here is President Moyer’s own
story of the shooting, given by him
in an interview at Milwaukee, en-
route to Chicago for treatment of
his wounds:
“Organizer Charles Tanner and I
were in our room in the Scott Hotel
at Hancock,” Moyer said. “Sheriff
Cruse called. He demanded that we
accept for the Federation the funds
the Citizens’ Alliance had collected
for the families of the Christinas eve
fire horror victims.
“I replied that the strikers them-
selves had raised $6,000 and this
was sufficient; while we were grate-
ful for the proffer, we could not ac-
cept the money.
“Cruse left. Five minutes later
the mine whistles began to blow, as
if they were a prearranged signal.
As they blew 150 members of the
Citizens’ Alliance invaded our room.
Shot Three Times.
“We were seized and held by some
of the men, while others danced In
front of us, striking us frequently
in the face and kicking our bodies.
"Finally someone stepped behind
me and shot me. I fainted when
the first bullet entered my back. I
don’t remember the second and third.
(By R. A. Dague.)
“Watchman, tell us of the night—
What the signs of promise are?”
The late W. J. Wayland, after a
lifetime of heroc, unselfish work to!
promote Socialism, became discour-
aged and the last thought to which
he gave utterance was:
“Oh, the selfish, cruel system of
competition—let it pass; it is not
worth while to try to abolish it.”
Other great sonls have cried out in
dispair at the close of life, because
the mammonized churches do not
truly represent the life and teachings
of Jesus, and they are beginning to
agree with Frances E. Willard, who
said, a short time before her death:
“Socialism is practical Christian-
ity; it is God’s way out of the wilder-
ness.”

robbed by capitalism, which exploi-
tation was defended by a perverted
church, may take courage over the

uiation, or the getting something for
nothing.
Thus was pure Christianity eclipsed
from that time to this. The pagan-
ized church and state upheld bloody
kings and tyrants; kidnapped and
enslaved weaker people and deluged
the earth with blood through the
hellish wars they prosecuted. Civi-
lization would have perished had it
not been for the few heroic souls
known as “heretics.” These contend-
ed for brotherhood, co-operation,
peace, and for a larger measure of
democracy and less of monarchy and
plutocracy.
Little or no credit is due the or-
ganized church for what religious
liberty we now enjoy, or for the
good and desirable institutions, that
constitute part of our political, so-
cial and industrial system today. All
the great reformers were regarded
as infidels, atheists and lunatics by
the church. When the American
republic was born the church de-
nounced its founders as “Infidels"
and said the Declaration of Independ-
ence was “heretical” and the Consti-
tution was “Godless,” and Benjamin
Franklin, Thomas Paine, Thomas
Jefferson and other fathers of the
Republic were vehemently anathema-
tized by the clergy.
The church, both Catholic and
Protestant, claimed that negro slav-
ery was a divine institution. The ,t has at times set itself definitely
great anti-slavery champions were against the movements which were
working for the emancipation and
our
neighbor to live.”
The Christian Herald said:
“It cannot be exageration to say
that there never was a time in the
history of the world when so many
people were trying to help so many-
other people as today.
“It has happened like this:
"The study of sociology has been
progressing gradually, some of its
most earnest and its brightest schol-
ars working outside the Christian
faith. They did not care about the
authority of Christ and the inspira-
tion of His message. They were
studying man, and earth, not God
and Heaven. And they found that
the thing that is . hampering and
spoiling life is selfishness. They
found that selfishness is unscien-
tific, unreasonable. They found that
co-operation, that interest in oo-
another, is the only reasonable way
to live. So we have come to see,
just from a natural and earthly
standpoint, what a preposterous and
ridiculous and disastrous policy-
selfishness is. Society and civili-
zation means co-operation.
It is a grievous thing that in so
many instances the church, as rep-
resented by individuals or organiza-
tions, has failed to show this spirit
of unselfishness which Jesus de-
manded of his followers. Indeed,
the accusation is often heard that

In view of the facts set forth
