THE CRIME OF POVERTY AND
ITS PRINCIPAL CAUSE.

| want to talk to you. my
friends, on the "Crime Of Pow
erty!'' | cannot in the short
space allotted to me say very
much. but the thing Of things L
would like to show you is that
poverty is a crime. / do not
mean TO say it is a crime to be
poor. Murder is a crime; but It
is not a crime to be murdered, and
2 man who is in poverty ] look
mon not as criminal himself, so
much as victim Of a crime. for
which others as well as himself
is TO blame. That poverty IS
curse. the bitterest Of curses we
all know.
CARLYLE was right when he said
that the hell Of which Englishmen
were most afraid was the hell o.
poverty: and this is true, not OF
EngIishmen alone, but of people
all over the civilized world. This
fear has been much intensified by
the war which is not over yet. 1t
is to escape this hell that we
strive. and strain and struggle;
and work on oftentimes in blind
habit long after the necessity for
work is gone. The writer has
known those who, having been
frightened by poverty in their
youth never stopped running
from it till they fell dead in their
graves!
The curse born Of poverty is
not confined to the poor alone. 1t
runs thro~,. all classes, even to
the very rich. They. too, suffer;
for there cannot be suffering n
a community from which any class
can totally escape. The vice. the
crime the ignorance, the mean
ness born of poverty, poison so to
speak. the very air which rich and
poor alike must breathe. AS a
rule it is now every felloT Cor
himself and the devil talo the
find-most.
What is man? In the first
place he is a land animal, WHO
cannot live without land. All
that man produces comes from
land. Why mans very body is
drawn from the land. In what
did the slavery of Russia consist,
but in giving to the master land
on which the serf was forced to
riveY When kings wished to en-
rich their favorites with the labor
Of others. they did not give men
thew gave land.

tence, and that monstrOus aggre-
CATION of wealth which char
acterize our civilization; but that
these evils which lead so many to
say there is no God, or yet more
impiously to say that they are OF
Gods ordering, are due to our
denial of moral law. We see that
| the law of Justice, the law of the
Golden Rule. is not mere coun-
sci of perfection, but indeed the
law of social life. We see that
if we were only to observe it
there would be work for all, leis-
ure for all. abundance for all; and
that civilization would tend TO
| give to the poorest not only neG-
essaries but reasonable comforts
and Injuries as well. We see
that Christ was not mere dream
err when he told men that if they
would seek the kingdom Of God
and His Righteousness. they might
no more worry about material
things than do the lilies of the
field about their raiment but that
! He was only declaring what po-
liticaI economy in the light Of
modern discovery knows to be a
sober truth.
Kate Kennedy, in last week s is
sue of the Ledger. asks if this is
the Millennium? The Millennium, or
; Christ's Kingdom can not come,
! however much We may pray for
it, work for it, fight for it. or die
for it, till we intelligently become
/ co-workers with God in usheriny
, it into being by giving the earth,
our common mother. back to the
/ living. and un-taxing all the
/, good things we so much desire for
:. ourselves and our fellowmen.

full provision made by natural law
for the social needs Of civiliza-
ton, we see that God has intended
civilization; that all our discov-
cries and inventions do not and
can not outrun his forethought,
and that steam, electricity and
labor-saving appliances only make
the moral laws clearer and more
important. In the growth of this
great fund, increasing with social
advance-a fund that accrues
with the growth Of the commun-
ity, and belongs therefore to the
communicative see not only that
there is no need for the taxes that
lessen wealth, that engender co.,
ruption, that promote inequality
and teach men to deny the gospel ;
but that to take this fund for the
purpose for which it was evidently
intended, would in the highest
civilization secure to all the equal
enjoyment of Gods bounty, the
abundant opportunity to satisfy
their wants, and would provide
! amply for every legitimate need
of the state. We see that God
in his dealings with men has moi
Ibeen a bungler or a niggard, that
he has not brought too many men
into the world: that He has moi
neglected abundantlv to supply
them: that He has not intended
that bitter competition Of the
masses for a mere animal exis-

then without further violence the
more insidious form Of slavery De-
gins. This has taken the place
of chattel slavery, because more
economical and convenient. The
slave does not have to be caught,
or held, or to be fed, when not
needed. He comes himself, beg
ging the privilege Of work. and
when no longer wanted can be
discharged. The lash is unneces-
sary; hunger drives him to his
knees at your feet! The great
war has changed matters some.

percentage of the people, there
can be no such thing as justice,
peace or plenty in a world where
there is a superabundance.

a peculiar beauty in the clearness
