In the Fire of the HeartCosimo, Inc., 1.10.2006 - 352 sivua Before "New Age" there was "New Thought," a philosophy that sought God through metaphysics and was wildly popular in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. American mystic and bestselling author RALPH WALDO TRINE (1866-1958) was one of the most influential writers on New Thought principles, and here, in this 1906 work, he rails against some of the most troubling social problems of his day... and ours: . child hunger in properous cities . the unfair distribution of wealth in the United States . the crushing effects of poverty on the family . the abuses of private corporations . and more. Trine's liberal outlook is remarkably modern, and alas, his cry for social justice is all too pertinent more than a century after his anger caught fire in this remarkable book. |

Sivu 28 - There are in all large cities in America and abroad, streets and courts and alleys where a class of people live who have lost all selfrespect and ambition, who rarely, if ever, work, who are aimless and drifting, who like drink, who have no thought for their children, and who live more or less contentedly on rubbish and alms.
Sivu 24 - For the great mass of unskilled workingmen, . . . residing in towns and cities with a population of from five thousand to one hundred thousand, the fair wage, a wage consistent with American standards of living, should not be less than $600 a year. Less than this would, in my judgment, be insufficient to give to the workingman those necessaries and comforts and those small luxuries which are now considered essential.
