Let Us take another look around to
see how we may serve cur generation.
Let US see as far as possible that they
have enough to wear God looks on
the human race and knows lust how
many Inhabitants the world has The
statistics Of the worlds population are
carefully taken in civilized lands and every
few years officers Of government 20 through
the land and count how many people there
are in the United States or England and great
accuracy is reached. But when people tell US
how many inhabitants there are in Asia OF
Africa, at best it must be wild guess. Yet
God knows the exact number of people on
our planet and he has made enough apparel
Tor each, and if there be fifteen hundred mil
ion nfteen thousand, fifteen hundred and
niteen people then there is enough apparel
for fifteen hundred million, fifteen thousand
fifteen hundred and fifteen. Not SLOUGH APP
parei, not ragged apparel, not insufficient
apparei. but appropriate apparel At
least Two suits for every being on the
earth, a summer suit aud a winter
suit A good pair of shoes for every living
mortal A good coat, good hat or a good
bonnet and a good shawl, aud complete
masculine or feminine outfit of apparel A
wardrobe for all nations adapted to all
chimes, and not string or button, or pin
or hook or an eye wanting. But, alas
where are the good clothes for three-fourths
OF tie human racei The other one
fourth have appropriated them The fact
IS, there needs 10 be and will be a redistri-
button Not by anarchistic violence. If
outiswrY had its way, it would rend and
tear and diminish until instead OF three
tOurths Of the world not properly attired.
f0ur-fonrths would be in rags. = let you
know how the redistribution dll take
place. By generosity on the part of
those who have a surplus and increased in
dustry on the part Of those suffering from
deficit. Not all, but the large majority OF
cases OF poverty in this country are a result
Of idleness or drunkenness, either on the part
OF the present sufferers or their ancestors.
In most cases the rum jug is the mael-
strom that has swallowed down the liveli-
hood of those who are in rags. But things
viii change, and by generosity on the part
Of the crowded wardr0bes, and industry
and sobriety on the part Of the empty ward
robes there will be enough for all to wear.
