Thoro Is plenty of good food, plenty of fresh air in tho world, but povorty stands betweon'them and tho sick child. Ho ami tons of thousands like him, In one stnglo great city, aro ' doomed to tho sufferings of consumption and to prcmaturo death, be '";rw eauso poverty stands between thorn and tho euro that is. absolute and certain, , . J Every man id his day's Journoy passes Buch a child or knows where many1 ouch may bo found.

' - '; Tho world is accustomed and hardened to suffering and povorty, and tho general feeling is, "Thoio Is no uso in trying, conditions , 1 cannot bo altered, and anyhow, I am not responsible" It is tho bid ' cry of, Cain when askod about tho brdthor whom ho had killed, "Am I my brother's koopor?" , I r .. Jt is tho Cold logic of tho Greek philosophers that said civillxation .,,, without islavory was impossible. t It is tho reasoning lndlfforcnc of thoso that saw tho' galloy slaves ,r . chained to their oars and( sinking with tho galloy, and thoso that ,' ' saw, tho wltnosscs torturod with tho rack and thumbBcrow and saw "" ' Innocent men and womon burned in tho nnmo of Qod." . Then as, now tho cry, was, "What's tho uso, what can I do f" " Fortunately our civilization, like tho Individuals In it, h,&s por ", lods in which consclonco comos to llfo and protest is heard. Wo DO' establish camps, 'and playgrounds, stations for distributing .,, food, whoro children can bo savod for n usoful llfo.

Wo already possess tho power to PRODUCE t" enough, wo lack only tho consclonco to DISTRIBUTE tho (needed ' wealth and drlvo out tho povorty that is tho fostor mother of dls- cbbo, 'drunkenness, crlmo, i Ignor.mco and superstition.

And Carthago at i length ' was destroyed, burned, an tho slto ploughed up and1 Bprlnklod with ... "'t. N; Tho cry of civilization, novor conslng, should bo, "POVERTY must ', .4 D0 dCBrroyod." Povorty Is not to bo dostroyod by charity which Is a roaKeanut nnu nn aggravation but by IntolljKonco and consclonco, by dlvortlng thq powor of tho nblost mon from solfish ACCUMULA TION to gonorous DISTRIBUTION. ' . Povorty can bo destroyed and It Is even now gradually being de stroyed by public education, public thinking, Industrial co-operation und organization. Great changes como suddonly as tho men of tho Fronch revolu tion and of ovory othor revolution havo proved. Tho chango from dark night to tho blazo of day is swift. Already mon as Individuals bogln to roallzo their responsibilities. And whoro thoy onco loft tholr money nftor death to sn.vo tholr own souls and brlbo 'tho .Divinity Into Boiling them paradise, thoy, now spend tholr monoy, whllo thoy llvo, for tho education- and tho health of their brothorn, and trust to Divinity to do tho fair thing Jator without any cash lnducomont. Only tho Ignorant man today imnclnes thnt hn rnti hnv' immunity pr happiness horoaftor. The powerful and Intelligent man knows that ills monoy can buy only ON THIS EARTH and ho begins to .spend It for tho boncflt of othors ON this enrth. Eventually, povorty will bo dostroyod, and with It drunkenness, Idle ness, ignornnco, ouporstltlqn, hatred and war will disappear civlllzi uon WILL BEGIN, and men will wonder how thoy over endured and toleratod tho horrlblo conditions of this day.
