REMEMBER THE NEEDY BY FUR
NIsHING EMPLOYMENT.
Editor Providence News:
Francis Gallagher's communication in
the News of Dec 81. is I'm the right dl-
rection. "Not every one that saith unto
me. Lord. Lord shall enter into the king
dom OF heaven, but he that doeth the
will OF my Father which is In heaven"
says our Divine Master. And. therefore
with what degree OF approval must our
risen Savior look upon the benevolent in
stitutions named by Mr.. Gallagher.
Yet let us not pause permanently al
these henefcent organizations. but do
what we can to prevent the needy from
coming to want and from becoming OBJ
jects OF charity.
What is IT that so many worthy citi-
zens OF this blessed Of all nations fear
most? what is Il that causes the most
anxiety during the life OF our honest
men? Is it not the dread OF being de-
prived OF employment that robs hAf our
people OF happiness and contentment and
fills their souls with anxiety for the fu-
ture?
Eschewing all sectarlanism and parts
an politics why should We not all stand
shoulder 10 shoulder In doing our best
tional laws. including tariff laws. TO pro-
vide the needy with rs near constant
employment as possible? The difference

possibly be three whole cents cheaper by
So-called reciprocity; hut what is that
compared with 500O0 worknen robbed OF
