OLSHEV1SM isn't a form of govern
ment; it s a form or behavior, said
Babushka, the "Grandmother of the
Russian Revolution," to an American reporter.
Not the sudden violence of passion let loose
but organized violence, violence deliber
ately adopted as the most effective way of
righting social wrongs that is the essential
spirit of Bolshevism.

country to country today.

How Bolshevists are made
It is easy to make a Bolshevist.
Take almost anyone when he is a baby
nourish him insufficiently let him grow up in
a dark, dirty, and hideous tenement. Educate
him as badly as possible take him out of
school al 13 or 14 and put him to work. Make
his work hard, long, and poorly paid. See
that he marries-and tries to bring up a family
on less than a living income. Throw him out
of employment every now and then; and
some day, when he is in a receptive mood,
introduce him to Bolshevist doctrines.
This is as good a way as any for the mak
ing of a Bolshevist.
Life was hopeless and miserable enough
for most working people in Russia to make
them easy victims of Bolshevism. But their
revolt is not only against material conditions.
It goes ' deeper than that it is a great out
breaking of hatred and despair against the
industrial system itself, an4 against all who
have helped to make such a system "possible.

shevism.
Rational hpurs, good
wages, a comfortable
material environment
these things are nec
essary, but these things
alone will not do it.
There are great masses
of people whom these
things alone will not
satisfy today.
The thing they are
seeking is a new spirit
in industry: a spirit
that will recognize and
respect the personality
of each man, so that
each man may have
freedom for self-expression
through his
work.
That is the only spirit
that has any power
against Bolshevism.
It is this spirit that

rN THE lower part of the Bowery in New
York City, human wrecks and derelicts
, from all parts of the world congregate.
Here come men who are homeless, hungry,
jobless, outcast men who have not had a fair
chance, victims of their own weaknesses and
of the same social injustices which breed
Bolshevism.
In the-heart of this district the readers of
The Christian Herald have for nearly 30
years' supported a shelter known as The
Bowery Mission. No one is ever turned away.
40,000 men a year pass through its doors.
On a stormy December night, when Taft
was President, he made a speecli to the men
at the Bowery Mission. The hall was packed
with a strange audience an audience of the
down-and-outers of society. Mr. Taft said:
"The so-called chasm between you and the
people who seem for a time to be more fortun
ate is not a chasm I want to convince you
that between you and them there is a deep
feeling of sympathy, a deep earnest desire that
you shall have that equality of opportunity
which we want for every man under the
Stars and Stripes."
The Bowery Mission is only one of the
unique, practical expressions of the faith that
The Christian Herald is voicing in its articles,
its editorials, and its magazine policy faith
in the power of Christianity to abolish the gulf
between classes, and do away with class hatred.
is voicing for 300,000 American families to
day the spirit that will defend America from
Russian Bolshevism the spirit of mutual
understanding between all classes of work
ers, of respect for everv man's rights and
needs.
The feeling that a man is more than the
human end ot a machine; that a worker is an
individual with a divine right to develop and
create; that the industrial system must be
founded on brotherhood and good will what
is this but Christianity

In next week's issue
of The Christian
Herald, read what
T. K. Webster, a great
Chicago manufacturer,
says in an article, "In
Partnership with La
bor": "It is no longer
merely a question of
wages. Shorter hours
and more pay will not
solve our labor prob
lems. Employers must
realize that labor de
mands a creative part in
production."
It is an employer who
says this and he quotes
what another great
industrial manager,
Robert B. Wolf, said
in a meeting of fellow
manufacturers: . ' The great problem is
how to unite men without
crushing them. . .
"The trouble with
the average employer
is that he is so engrossed
in the task of creating
an efficient organization to express his own
individuality, that he has forgotten to extend
the same privilege to his employees."
This ability to visualize the other maris needs
is growing less and less exceptional. It is the
expression in industry of the new spiritual
awakening which is showing itself in every
phase of life today. This new spirit is pene
trating industry more and more, affecting
employers and workmen alike.

Week.' by week, The Christian Herald as it

the questions that industry must solve in the
light of Christianity.

industry.
