the Lower Rents Society" of New
families own one-fifth of the land in
the Borough of Manhattan.
Furthermore. this fifth Of the

of the land values OF New York

ing all ground rent into the public
treasury.
IL all the good people who spend
SO much valuable time on their knees
in the churches, or in batting saloon
keepers. would only think more with
the thought of today as Henry George
did. and try to apply the teachings OF
Jesus to making the conditions of life
better. then mankind could climb up
to a higher plane of life.
The church cannot afford to ig-
more tho ethical principle of single
tax, for 1t Is the one thing most need
ed in the world today to make pos
sible for men and women to realty
live the teachings Of Jesus. instead OF
only thinking of them on Sunday
morning.
