The Reverend Smo^t, patter cf
the Epworth M. E. church o 1
Norfolk, Ya.. recently preached
a sermon on the divine program
of Socialism, from which the fol-
low >ng air brief quotations:
"Man should work to live, but
capitalism compels him to reverse
this and iive to work. Is it con-
sistent for the preachers to speak
so highly of the brotherhood of
man. and do so little toward help-
ing to apply it when once an ef-
fort is really made to apply it?
"Fifty years ago the black
man camc out of slavery a sober
man. Now he is in bondage to
strong drink. White slavery hi>s
reached its greatest proportion?
in the United States. Industrial
bondage is an undeniable fact.
There is also a depiorabie bon-
dage of thought to day. The
man who dare3 exercise freedorr
of thought is denounced as a her-
etic often i.- so Jar ahead of the
other fellow that he stands as it
^ere on the other side of th<
universe. On -half of the wjr'c'
