CASTLEGAR NEWS, Thursday, December 12, 1957 REPLY TO DR. SOPER By Lowis Milligan Dr. Donald Soper, a touring English evangelist, told a United Church meeting in Toronto the other day that he hoped to live to see the end of capitalism, Most of the 800 persons present were re- ported to be “visibly shocked" when he denounced the capitalist system of the Western world. He said it had “brought more ruina- tion on mankind than any political system in man’s history”, and was responsible for two world wars.

The economic and political doc- trines of communism, along with the methods of enforcing them, originated in the mind of Karl Marx, a perverted German Jew, and an avowed hater of all religions, He started out as a socialist, and his development into a communist was a logical process. Dr. Soper is an avowed socialist, and, despite his claim to, be a Christian, he appears to be ing a hatred for C! if he honestly believes that communism is an offspring of Christi- anity, he must eventually come to the conclusion that there is something wrong with a religion that could Jead to such an evil distortion as communism, ‘The historical fact is that communism ‘was an offspring of socialism, which originated, with the atheists of the French Revolu- tion, Whereas modern. i with or from the religious and political freedom of the Elizabethan period, and was firmly by the ; which was a reigious uprising. The most energetic capitalists of that period were noncomformists, like Dr. Soper himself. It would therefore be more truthful to say that capitalism was the offspring of Christianity, for it is the exercise of freedom for which Christianity stands and human nature demands. John Mil. ton was a Christian idealist and he supported Cromwell's idea of a Christian C Ith in England, but he insisted that the first principle of the new social order should be freedom of thought and speech. He was as firmly opposed to dictatorship from the Puritans as trom the Royalists, “New Presbyter,” he said, “is but old Priest writ large.” ‘Dr. Soper blames capitalism for the two world wars.

Before the First World War adopted many of the ideas of the socialists in order to regiment the workers and build up a Greater Germany. German industries werevirtually nationalized. They were heavily subsidized by the government for “efficincy” to enable them to seize the wgrld mark- ‘ets, which they did was being into an armed camp with a Spartan-trained military force ready and eager to eonquer the world, . ‘The Kaiser released this mighty force in 1914 and it was badly beaten by the allied capitalist countries, Hitler thought he knew why. Germany was not socialist enough, He proceeded to institute National Socialism, and in a few years militarized the entire na- tion. The whole of Europe was to be socialized by force of arms and world peace was to be established for a “thousand years,” At the close of the last war the capitalist countries demobilized their military forces. The formed the United Nations in the belief that mankind was entering a new era of international co-operation for world peace, They are mightily armed to put an end to capi- talism in an atomic world war. Dr. Soper will not live to see that, for it would mean the end of the world. . : Be PLATO DOA Conadion Legion, Castlegar, Robson Branch 170 Annual Xmas Party For Members Children Between The Ages Of 3 and 10 Will Be Held In The LEGION HALL On MONDAY, DECEMBER 23 at 6:30 P.M, goimg abroad? you'll see more, do more, when you plan through...
