What Socialism Is a 1894 Warren sermon by Rev J W Smith
Rev J W Smith delivers a Presbyterian church sermon on socialism and its varieties. He traces individualism versus social organization from barbarism to modern labor movements, definitions of socialism, communism, anarchism, nihilism, and historical figures like Marx Lassalle and Engels, framing the issue through a Christian lens and urging thoughtful, peaceful civic engagement. He notes international labor congresses, the rise of workers’ discontent, and the duty to act as brothers’ keeper under Jesus Christ.
