Excerpt from An Address on the Prevention of Pauperism
Povmrrv tells its whole story. It has no conceal ments. The undisguised spirit speaks through rags, simply, and audibly. Poverty has neither bars nor locks. It wants neither. Not because its faith in man is the highest, or that it looks on Society as altogether a Christian organization, that it has not these wants. Poverty with its essential Openness in the mass, may and does use deception in the individual instance. But it is when it would avoid starvation, or labor, that it Often does this. In these cases it has parted with its principles, or they are overlaid by a stern necessity, or an indolence, which, having begun in some uncontroll ed circumstance, habit has confirmed. Poverty can do nothing for itself. Helplessness, dependence, is one Of the most pressing and saddest facts in the history of poverty. It is this which gave such significance to the laws of Moses in regard to the poor. It is this which was ever in the mind Of the Saviour Of the world, when be commended, nay, urged the offices of active benevo lence on his disciples and his church. He left the poor as a perpetual legacy to his followers, as if he foresaw in their undying charity, love, kindness, to these his spir itual children, an expression Of that providence which God himself extends to his whole universe.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book on the subject of pauperism stems from an address presented in 1843 in Boston, Massachusetts, as part of a society formed for the Prevention of Pauperism. The author has taken the time to investigate the long history of poverty and has found that its causes lie solely in society itself, not with the poor themselves. The writer dismisses the common assumption that poverty is an individual moral failing, arguing instead that the institutional structures of society produce and sustain poverty. He examines the deleterious effects of the separation of classes, the inadequacy of charitable institutions, the failures of political systems, the destructive power of party politics, and the devastating impact of the liquor industry on individuals and society as a whole. This book is significant because it offers a critical analysis of the societal causes of poverty and suggests that it is the institutions of society itself that must change in order to alleviate poverty.
