HOMES OF THE POOR.

Homes Of the poor! Sacred shrines
OF earth where the altar fires Of genius
have been Lighted. May the world
forever be blessed with a moderate
want. The human mind is never
whole till it has suffered, and it is
better that the angel of poverty should
mete out the required suffering in the
form of perpetual restraint, then
that it should burst like the thunder
storm from the azure sky of luxury
darkening with its clouds the sun of
life.
The home of the poor man does not
necessarily mean home of suffering,
save in that humiliation and re-
straint to which it is necessary for all
souls to be subjected in order to de-
velop. The poor mans home need
not be devoid by certain degree of
luxury. Beautiful pictures and works
OF art can no longer be monopolized
by the rich. for the busy brain of in
Vention has brought them within the
reach of all. The price of ten cents
worth of tobacco smoke saved each
day for fifteen or twenty days will
purchase a fine book. The very poor
est of men find no difficulty in pur-
chasing this amount Of tobacco smoke
each day. Only think how many
days there are in life time. Three
hundred and thirteen working days in
year at ten cents day would give
$31. 30. Twenty years would give
1926. GO, would purchase at least Eve
hundred volumes, library of which
most men should be proud. What an
inspiring thought for poor boy; the
gist of all literature purchased with
the little self denial that it costs to
refrain from making bacon of
ones self.
