Sivu 283 - Christian duty to do good to our fellow-creatures, both in their spiritual and in their temporal concerns : and if so, it must be also a duty to study, to the best of our ability, to understand in what their good consists, and how it is to be promoted. To represent therefore any branch of such study as inconsistent with Christianity, is to make Christianity inconsistent with itself. He who should acknowledge himself bound to feed the hungry, and clothe the naked, and visit the sick and prisoners,...
Sivu 276 - If the improvement which even triumphant military despotism has only retarded, not. stopped, shall continue its course, there can be little doubt that the status of hired laborers will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent...
Sivu 169 - That boy of mine . . . when he was 7 years old I used to carry him on my back to and fro through the snow, and he used to have 16 hours a day ... I have often knelt down to feed him as he stood by the machine, for he could not leave it or stop.
Sivu 277 - ... will gradually tend to confine itself to the description of workpeople whose low moral qualities render them unfit for anything more independent : and that the relation of masters and workpeople will be gradually superseded by partnership, in one of two forms : temporarily and in some cases, association of the labourers with the capitalist ; in other cases, and perhaps finally in all, association of labourers among themselves.
Sivu 91 - ... only left it in a state of rotten immorality ; they wanted, to say all in a word, unbounded liberty, and have produced the meanest servitude ; they wanted the reverse of all that which they actually obtained, and have thus given a proof that liberalism in all its ramifications is nothing but a perfect Utopia...
Sivu 283 - More especially the theory of wealth had to be examined in connection with the theory of population ; and the great resulting lesson is — the intimate alliance which obtains between the economical and the moral ; insomuch that the best objects of the science cannot, by any possibility, be realized but by dint of prudence and virtue among the common people.
Sivu 213 - ... last twenty-five years. We must not omit to give a sketch of their revolting picture, drawn in lurid colours, of proletarian life in England, the country where capitalism has reached its culminating point. Let us hear Karl Marx. He first refers with indignant scorn to the following observations of Townsend : " It seems to be a law of nature that the poor are to some extent improvident, so that there always may be some to perform the most servile and dirty, and the meanest functions in the community....
Sivu 296 - Education will probably do much to develop the usefulness of courts of conciliation. It may be that a court of conciliation can never adjust a real quarrel. But it is certain that it may do much to prevent a quarrel from arising. If the workmen were satisfied that an employer could not make a concession without suffering serious loss, they would not CHAP, be so unreasonable as to ask for it.
Sivu 309 - ... the most beneficial measures which we owe to Mr Gladstone. By the deposit of a small weekly sum, a man is able to secure a certain income, to commence at a time of life when it may be reasonably calculated that work will have to be discontinued.
Sivu 90 - Capital ; they aimed at setting at liberty all Labour powers, and only riveted the chains of misery which held them bound ; they wanted to release the bondman from the clod, and deprived him of the soil on which he stood by buying up the land ; they yearned for a happy condition of society, and only created superfluity on one hand, and dire want on the other ; they desired to secure for merit its own honourable reward...
