Virtue Decreases as Religious
Sentiment Is Destroyed
By Juaticc MORGAN J. O'BRIEN of the New York Supreme Court
=•$
H I.ONG with thu other social settlements let us open a settle
ment for the benefit of the MILLIONAIRES’ SONS.
Most of these rich voting men are failures. The successful
one, as wo count success, is the exception. It seems to mo
that the rich are to he pitied.
Charitv, as the word is known today, is only a hribo of moneyed
men to make a community FORGET THE WRONGS heaped upon
it. “Charitable people” give money so that they may appear in the
guise of benefactors. Charity, as it is known nowadays, is only a cloak
to make people think the giver is deserving of praise.
Away with tbo word charity. We don't want to hoar tko word in
settlement work. The people of any neighborhood will refuse to
come to tiio settlement, the hoys and girls will remain away from it
if CHARITY lurks within theso walls.
In place of the word charity let us substitute the word “philan
thropy.” This is tho better word. It means the LOVE OF MAN
KIND, not simply charity for mankind. It is this spirit that has
moved tho founders of all settlements. The settlement workers in
giving themselves to othors receive much moro than they give. Their
lives havo become richer and their souls have bocorao gladdened.
Those who give their lives to a oommiuiity RECEIVE much moro
than they bring to it.
As a matter of fact the children one hears playing in tho street are
superior any way to many of those on tho boulevards. Tho peoplo of
tho Ghotto often are superior to tho residents of the avenues and bou
levards. THE RICH ARE TO BE PITIED. Let us establish
settlements for the rich men's sons.
Many of the rich men at the clubs arc far LESS EDUCATED
than tho workingmen of tho poorer districts. The latter road, and
they progress along educational lines. Ask the rich man at the club if
he has read this or that hook which goes to make men nobler and
better and stronger in mind. He will slmko his head IN IGNOR
ANCE. Ask many of these peoplo of tho Ghetto the same questions,
and they will brighten up with the knowledge they have gained from
those hooks through long hours of study.
You hear some rich women go back to the boulevards and tell their
friends that they have been over in tho settlement. They act as if they
had douo something brave. They tell how unclean the people are
and what sights they found there! THEY WANT SELF ADMI
RATION and so they pretend that they have done a wonderful act
THAT It NOT THE SPIRIT OF SETTLEMENT WORK. IT IS
NOT CONDESCENSION TO 00 INTO THE WORK, OUT IT IS A
STEPPING HIGHER.

OCIALISM is strong in Germany. It is growing steadily, and
its progress is radical. War, we are assured, MUST COME
between England and Germany for supremacy on the seas.
The massing of large numbers of the population in one place,
which will increase with the century, will tend to strengthen the force's
of Socialism and materialism, the result necessarily of the enormous
wealth of the few AND THE POVERTY OF THE MANY.
And thus, upon a larger field and under new and untried condi
tions, will lie fought out .the battle between religion and morality on
the one side and Socialism and materialism on the other, and upon tin-
outcome will depend the defeat of the realization of the aspirations
and HOPES OF DEMOCRACY.
A fact that stands prominently forth in our history is that virtue
has decreased in proportion to the destruction of the religious senti
ment among our people.
IT REQUIRES NO PROPHET TO TELL WKAT MUST CS 7HC
INEVITABLE IF SOME CHECK TO THE RAPID INROADS OF SO
CIALISM AND MATERIALISM CANNOT BE FOUND.
