STATE OF THE POOR.
The following letter speaks for itself. It is evidently
written by a man imbued with religious feelings, and
endeavouring from the light of Scripture to ascertain why
the virtuous poor should be subjected to such unmerited
suffering in a land flowing with plenty. When the people
find they are oppressed with taxes, and cannot obtain feed
to satisfy the cravings of hunger, while the nobles and
clergy, and all the higher classes have abundance, are
they to blame in quoting Scripture as an authority against
kingly government ? The conversation between the
two boys gives a true picture of the condition of tens of
thousands throughout the country—honest men willing
to work, but unable to find employment_—

To THE EDITOR- OF THE SUN.
Silt —A circumstance came to my knowledge the
other day which brought a passage of Scripture to my
mind. if you will insert it in your paper, with a few
observations, you will oblige.—Last week as my daugh-
ter was walking from Merstham to Reigate, two boys
were walking behind her, about thirteen or fourteen
years of age ; one said to the other, " I have never suffered
so much in my life as I have this last fortnight. HI
could get some work to get food, I would not care about
having any place to sleep. lam detimnined to go to
gaol, I will not go so any longer." The other said,
"Not go to gaol ?"—" Yes, I shall then have fuod and a
place to sleep." Chap. xxx. of Proverbs, 7', 8, 9 verses.—
•' Two things have I required of thee, deny me them
not ; give me neither poverty nor riches ; feed me with
food convenient for me ! lest I be full, and deny thee,
and say, who is the Lord ; or lest I he poor and steal,
and take the name of my God in vain." Sir, a wise
Government will endeavour so to rule, that all may be
so situated as not to place any one in poverty, to be
tempted to steal—or rich, as to forget God. When God
brought the children of Israel out of Egypt into the
land of Canaan, every family had land, and if they
borrowed money on it, every seven years it went back to
the family again! so that none could get the land from
their poor brother ; but Samuel told them if they had a
king how he would serve them ! he would take the best
of their land, and give it to his favourites ! So that
the king's favourites have got almost all the land ; they
have forgotten God, because they are rich ! lam con-
fident there will be no prosperity for the people till
kingly Governments are done away.
Your's obediently,
W. C.
