Abstract:
I have indicated some means whereby the social and moral
elevation of our working classes may be secured to an extent
hitherto unknown among us; and I conclude by the expression of
my full belief that all our efforts will prove unavailing unless they
are sustained by high principle. The rich must show an example
to the poor of manly virtue, of adherence to truth, of an abhorrence
of all insincerity, of a strict regard to honour in all the
relations of public and private life; of the exercise of that charity
which thinketh no evil, if it be possible to think otherwise. Thus
feeling and thus acting, they will be instrumental in assisting
largely in the social and moral elevation of our working classes.
