But most of us are blind and cannot see it, and our hearts are dead and we cannot feel it. The agony of our fellow-beings, the poverty, suffering and despair which have 1v1ung all thej Joy out of their lives and left them hopeless to perish as if they were in a. desert waste, con- stitute the sup1eme tragedy that 13 be- ing enacted. before our twentieth cen- tury civilization. We sit at breakfast, and we are content if we have enough to satisfy our own appetite. Across the way there may be a child dyingr of starvation. or, if it is, we may in our Christian charity that “surpasseth understand- ing ” organize 11. charity ball or a rum- mage sale for its relief. If we 'were civilized, if we were really human beings, we would feel the hunger-pangs of our fellow-men and women and little children, even if we could not see them, and the food we eat while they are starving would choke us, and the great coats we wear while they are shivering would sear us to the very marrow of our bones. But we are not civilized and human; we are capitalized and inhuman. We have scarcely emerged from the caves and jungles. We have lost some of the sav- age instincts of our ancestors, but we have not replaced them with humane and generous impulses. The individu- alism in which we were begotten and under which we grew to maturity ,has no ethical standardabove its own bel- 131 line. It has deVeIOped the beak and claw, the fang and hoof, and not the soul and conscience of men; and the" extent of' their ambition is to lord it over others with arrogant, heartless self’eonceit, and glut their own low and vulgar appetites. Yeste1day moming I read in the papers of a little girl twelve years old who had attempted suicide by throw- ing herself into a canal, afte1 she had been looking all day for work and was denied, and, faint from hunge1 and without a friend in the world, she sought to end it all, this mere child, by destroying herself. Just think of that, if you can, and see that child as you must, and then think of her as your own i What 'now of a civilization in which this monstrous crime against a. child is not only of common occur- ' srence, but scarcely provokes a passing thought. The b1utal misdeed of some poor lablaek man lashes society into a perfect tempest of virtuous ('1) indigâ€" nation , but this same complacent Christian society can witness the stan- ving of little children without a quiv- er of one of its painted eye- dashes. This morning in my own neighbdr- hood, within a. rod or two of where I was born and have lived all my days, a. day labmer, long in enforced idle- ness thri'mgh inability to find work, too meek to beg or steal, administered 5 This is not our concern, Fenelon Falls Branch poison to his wife and babe, and then to himself.

I 0feel at least my full share of the awful responsibil- ity, and it )8 with difficulty that I can restiain myself in giving utte1ance to my feelings. The earth is ample, and the fullness and fatness thereof suflici- em; for all the child1en of men, and that we should be so steeped 1n our sodden individualism, and so dead to all the humanities, that we should sit- eomplacently by while these social inâ€" iquities and crimes are being pcxpe- t1 ated all about us. is the utter denial of any claim we may have the efl'ronb cry to make that we are civilized and? human beings When I see and hear and read of these terrible happenings, and their . note in the press dispatches that 11 royal duke and a cardinal of the church of Christ axe ente1 tamed by 11 plutocrat in such extreme luxu1y and extravagance that it defies description, and that over their sparkling goblets of wine they congratulate theii host- upou the “greatness and glory and prosperity 01°11“; country,” ever y drop of blood in my veins boils with revo- lutionary indignation.
