Christian Socialism and Christianity

The "Christian Socialism" of this country fellowships all Socialists who are politically like-minded, many of whom have no faith in the Bible or in Christ. Yet Stitt Wilson, Berkeley's mayor, is reported as saying to Christian ministers:

Come on to the Christian Socialists' movement. It is divine. Almost a second coming of Christ, for He said, "In such an hour as ye think not, the Son of Man cometh."—Oakland Enquirer, August 25, 1911.

But there will be no movement of Christianity in this age which differs in principle from the Christianity of Jesus of Nazareth. He saves people by saving individuals. There is no other way.
