or. the Socialist author and speaker,
gave the second address in the cur»
rent course of addresses on important
public themes, Which are being given
on Sunday evening at. the church.
While it is prObabie that Mr. Hunter
did not turn all of the congregation
into socialists, it is certain that. be ob.
tained at very sympathetic hearing and
that be deeply interested the entire
audience. This was largely due. to the
fine spirit of the man. The reason was
perfectly clear as to why Mr. Hunter
has given his material means. his tal-
ents and his life to the. propagating of
socialism. He not only believes in its
high ideals and ‘not only believes that
.they can be largely carried out. but he
also thinks that in many places those
ideals are being realized slowly but
surely.
His description of sbclallsts at. work
was both interesting and inspiring. At
the clusc of his address a large number
of the men of the congregation snr~
rounded him and invited llllll to come
again ill the near future to discuss the
question still further. under the sus-
pices of the Men's Christian inquiry
Club.
The assistant pastor, -'I‘Iiunloi‘c it.
