SOCIAL JUSTICE.
CHRISTIANITY'S REMEDY. MARRIED MEN EST CAMPS. (By Telegraph.—Own Correspondent.) TE KUITI. this day. In the course of a scrmon-lecturc on "Christianity and Communism" in tlu: Methodist Church last night, the Rev. J. L. Mitchell strongly denounced, the present economic system. "What hope is there," he asked, "for any immediate benefit under a system which compels men to go into camps away from their wives a'nd children in a young fertile land which cries out on every hand for closer settlement?" The rise of Communism, the speaker said, was no more unnatural than the rise of other creeds, and it was not enough merely to condemn it. The aims and aspirations of the two million Communists who had avowed allegiance to infidelity were not wholly sinful. Their aims to establish a brotherhood could, however, be achieved through Christian Socialism. The preacher concluded a powerful discourse by urging his hearers to put Christian principles and social justice into daily practice.
