REMEMBER THE POOR.
"The poor ye have always with you, and when ye will ye may do them good."—[Words of Jesus.
God's blessing on those
Who remember the poor!
If I had been born
In the Five Points, I'm sure
I should have been grateful
For work and for food;
And this House of Industry
Must do them great good.
Our hearts should be filled
With pity for those
Who suffer in winter
For want of warm clothes.
Who suffer with hunger
For want of nice bread,
While we from God's bounty
Are constantly fed.
Then let us remember
How much they endure,—
Those dear little children
So wretched and poor,
