REV. DIR. HILLS ON CLASS HAT
RED.
The Crime of Stirring Up Hatred
Between the Rich and Poor. was the
subject Of the sermon delivered by the
Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills In Ply
mouth church. Brooklyn. one night
this week. He said In part:
Since the increase OF property means
the increase of happiness of all classes,
men who love their country and their
kind will view with apprehension and
profound alarm the attempt to array
the poor against the rich, the farmers
against the bankers. the manufacture
ers against professional men, the
classes against the masses. The class
hatred that prevails in countries where
the hereditary classes rule has no .ex
cuse in this free land. In our country
there is no position so high that the
boy from the forge, the factory or the
farm may not aspire to and achieve it.
The artificial nobility Of the old nations
is an order fixed and separated from
those below, no matter what their in
tellectual excellence or moral culture.
But In the republic there Is natural.
aristocracy that includes the best and
the wisest, and any one may join the
noble class VINO chooses to become
worthy and wise.
Midst institutions like ours, there
fore. the attempt to stir up hatred and
prejudice among the people is un-
American and vicious. Class hatred
can rear no factories, but it can ruin
those already existing; casts no new
treasure into society's granary. but
can hurl firebrand. into the glNnary
ALREADY filed. Mankind Is out upon a
march away from dirt into divinity.
But hatred can stay the advancing
| chariots and turn all the hosts back
! toward barbafism.
IF the rich do well to remember So
lciety's Indebtedness to the poor the
poor also do we'll to consider that much
/ OF the wealth OF the field and factory
has been produced, not by Dor, not by
capital applied to both, but by ability.
1 Among many men the impression pre-
walls that labor alone has produced the
wealth, that the large fortunes of the
rich have been created by and belong
ITO the poor. that he who amasses a
large fortune has done SO by holding
back the wage that belongs to his
| workmen or by corruption and the pur-
chase of special privilege.
The logical result of this idea is that
all the wealth in the hands OF the rich
in justice belongs to the poor who pro-
warfare. An age fruitful in foolish and
false ideas has produced none more err.
ironeous than this idea that labor has
produced all wealth. The great major
sity of fortunes of this country have
been made, not thru fraud or oppres-
sion, but thru ability that has done far
more for the poor man than for the pos
SCISSORS thereof.
"A recent work contains a study for
a hundred millionaires OF New York
city. These rich men discovered GER
tain wastes that We're going on in the
1 factory and the workshop and the saw
/ ing of the remnants that others had
/ thrown away made them rich and So
ciety far5richer. Where they made one
dollar out OF their Invention society
has received ninety-nine. Indeed, the
4 great need Of our day is not land. nor
capital, but ability.
Scientists tell US that S. per cent Of
all the coal burned passes out Of the
/ chimney. Some day some mechanics
i boy, after long toll with his blast fur
mace, will teach US how to consume
4 our smoke and so add $25 a year to the
4 income of the average family. Let US
\ hope that this young mechanic will be-
Ecome rich thru his discovery. and let
us express hope that demagogues will
mot reward the inventor with the words
.piutocrat money baron. 'robber' and
.oppressor OF the poor.
To-day the wages in the field, the
j remnants in the factory and the shop
and the dirt under mems feet represent
,funtold wealth. But the young men OF
i the next generation will save these
wastes and the future savings will
i amass great fortunes For making the
4 most OF the ability given US the people
have founded the common schools and
made them rich and beautiful in their
equipments. There the rich mans son
and the poor mans son sit upon the
same bench. They receive the same
instruction that each may shoot up as
high as his talent Will permit. Today
no single fact offers more hope than the
fact that the ability OF poor boys. edu-
Gated in our common schools, is bring
ing them into prominence and useful-
ness. Anarchy and socialism propose

Of society and cut off the tall mems
:,sads until all are equal. The common
school levels, not by lowering the ricn,
but by lifting the poor"
