Poverty the Challenge to the Church (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Poverty the Challenge to the Church

The problem of poverty is one that is des tined to become more acute in this country with the passing of the years, unless society faces this problem and seeks its solution through economic and social changes. It is the persistence of poverty in modern society that sustains the propaganda of Socialism. The danger of the spread of Socialism lies in the fact that the well-to-do classes have neglected to study the causes which create poverty and to consider the remedies for its abolition. It is reasonable to believe that if the facts were known, the public would make a determined efiort to remove poverty from modern society. Many are enjoying the fruits of industry who have given no thought to the costs in human life, toil, and social misery which they exact. Yet there are many signs today that those who control industry will be unwilling to profit by any system of distribution that flourishes at the expense of the eficiency and well being of the wage earners.
