?lfore than three hundred yearsago, in the old city of Antwerp,a little boy was born, named An·thony Van Dyck, \Vhere he Ii.ved,there are many wall s or dikes t eokeep out the sea, so the name,Van Dyck, means "on, or near thedike."Anthony must hallie had plentyo f good times, for he had elevcnbrothers and sisters, It wa;;lu!.:ky fo r them that their fathcrwas rich so that he could takec "r~ f them all comfortably..\nthony had a pretty, daintymother. who Iikctl to do beautifulembroidery. but she died when hewa~ only eight years. old.There werc other boys le:lrning"to paint with Rubens, and sometimeswhen the master was out.they lIsed to have great fun together.01le day when Rubens hadgone for ~ horseback ride. theywere .scuffling about roughy inthe studio and Anthony fell overbackwards against the picturethat Rubcns had just left to dry....

But has it ever occurred tG),ou that there was a time when nobne,kn~w this word. Social ism.when no--one seemed to know howthe lot of the poor workman couldbe' improved? People already beganto realize that the capitalistsaT tiosses were growing rich ontheir earnings, but did not knowhow to change this condition. Somepeople tried living together in colonieswhere they worked togetherand divided equally the money theyearned. But . this did not helpmatters. very much.the 5th day of May, t818, at aplace in Gertnany called T re\'c ;(Trier).

Bu.here, too, he was pursued, until atla st. after li\'ing a short time inBrussels. in Belgium, he found :,~ lfe home in London.

The(friendship of Marx and Engels isone of the most beautiful thingsthat the history of Socialism has toSh()W us. These two men, both withwonderful minds, worked together'for many years for the welfare ofth ~ working class. While E ngelsIh'ed in London they were together:llmost daily, so that Marx's chil odren called Engels their seconrtfather. But even during ten yearsforced to go away. during ten year\:;in which the h )!O men were forcedto live apart, hardly a day passedon whicll they did not write to eachother. Marx did nothing before hehad consulted his friend, E ngelswas always ready and willing to doeverything for Marx and hi s family.·Together they wrote a shortbook called the "Communist Manitesto,"in which the idea, calledSocialism, is clearly described.This book, with another, larger annmore detailed, Karl Marx's "Capi·tal," is the foundation for the workof the Socialists all over the world.You children are too young tounderstand all that Marx's booksdid for the working-class, but youcan learn lessons just as valuablefro" his life. You can see that anidea which makes possible a friendshipSO steadfast and firm as thatof Marx and Engels must in itselfbe worthy of our support. And as~autiful as this friendship wasMarx's' Jove for h is wife. JennyMarx was the daughter of awealthy German nobleman namedvon ·Westphalen. She had neve ~known what it was to be poor, bu ~she gave up everything to marrythe wonder ful man who" sheloved. and went with him fromcountry to country, living throug'ldays and weeks of fear and danger.until at last they found a home inthe most miserable part of Lonthll.They were very poor.
