Most of this giving makes no appeal to
natural instinct. Giver and receiver
lack about that much of coming to-
gether. The connection is broken by a
committee. Colonel hB. puts in a check
gilt-edged for 800 How much easier
that is for Colonel B. than to 90 to the
hovel where it doesn't smell nice. Let
the pastor and the committee attend to
the distribution, says the colonel Col
onel B. ia all right, and he has saved
himself all the trouble. Colonel B. next
day rides down street in his carriage and
the brilliant wheels throw dust on the
poor. They say damn him. Compass
sion drops out of giving and gratitude
drops out of receiving. All such giving
does is TO satisfy his animal hunger, and
it only arouses his anger against pros
perity. II man knows you help him
for sympathy, for love of humanity, he
will be grateful.
"We must introduce the church of
one man with another man. / have
never associated with the rich, much be-
cause have always found better COM
pany. l knew a Madison avenue rich
man who gave thousands, but never
knew what he had to do with the poor,
He talked of the dangerous classes in
New York. There are many parts OF
New York where you cannot go safely.
The people there hate government and
order, hate the right of brown-stone
house, hate the sound of a carriage
wheel. How can they help it, crowded
in those dens of vice? Is this a com
munist speech you are hearing? What
has all that to do with this meeting? A
good deal.
"You are men OF business. You can
mediate and bring the golden wires to-
gether. The poor are hungry for little
human recognition. A young mems
Christian association should mediate.
Jay Gould says Mr.. Carnegie is showing
the truest benevolence by employing
1000 men. What do you think OF
that? Carnegie is better than the
ordinary. But any man worth 500 900,
600, if any man is worth that much
| (Which doubt, after he has paid his
debts), might put his conscience to sleep
by employing men and making more out
out of them than they make them
selves.
'Old Jimmy Barton, who killed Harry
| Thorne, the son OF rich mill-owner,
during the Manchester strikes of 1910,
before he died on the gallows, said :
we did not kill him because he was
rich, and we were poor; not because he
| lived in palace and we in hovel not
because he wasted food while we
starved-but because he despised u.s..
"We've got to get closer together.
What is religion for, unless you use it
Do you think it is only for the purpose
of keeping you out of hell? You are
wrongl Use 1t to enjoy it'll And the
way have pointed out is the only way
to obtain such enjoyment"
The services closed with the hymns,
My Faith Looks Up to Thee, and Come,
Thou Fount of Every Blessing"
