A wretched interior^ crowded with many familiesBehind the bill-board THE POOR 153 sion of those whom I have seen in the alms-houses,the reformatories, the tenements, the hovels of ourcountry. With downcast, hopeless faces, with fal-tering steps, with groping hands, they file past.Some are ragged, filthy, scarred, diseased. Someare pallid, starved, pitiful. Side by side, step bystep with them, march those who are of differentblood and birth. One holds out beggar hands, onecovers his face in bitter humiliation. Grey as a pro-cession of shadows, grey as a drift of ashes, and withashes upon their heads — that symbol of burnt outlife and hope — they move across my vision, and arelost in the darkness. We must cease to cherish such as these or weshall have a race of weaklings and degenerates, weare warned. Yet the divine plan, as given to us, is that thepoor shall be delivered. And He who healed thesick, gave sight to the blind, cleansed the lepers, andeven raised the dead, gave the poor
