Excerpt from The Kootenay Campaign, April and May 1909: Evangelism and Moral Reform What this brand of socialism is, it is not easy to say. It does not seem to be based on knowledge of economic laws, or on a deep consideration of social problems. One report ca'ls it Veneer Socialism. In any case, however, it prejudices those who are possessed by it against religion, and makes them bitterly hostile to the Church, which is regarded' by them as the ally of the hated capitalist, One report says Before the services commenced, a large majority of the men expressed themselves as in favor of turning down any one who came to camp in the interests of religion. Almost to a man, the miners here are Socialists and they believe the Church must be opposed, because the Church Capital are, The barrier of suspicion and hostility is all but insuper able. The reports are heavy with the burden of it, e.g. The missioners were heart sore that the mass of the men would not listen and were plainly rebellious even against courteous invitations. This terrible chasm between the Church founded by Jesus Christ, and the class to which He belonged, exists as a chal lenge to all who profess to be His followers, and His Church might to devise some means of meeting it. Of course, not all the Socialism of the Kootenay is of this type. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
