It is incredible that statesmen did not see it must be so.

Old-Age Pensions, too, and State-Insurance (so soon as it was socially digested), began to be considered a mark of disgrace--for the simple cause that it is not the receiving of money that is resented, but the motive for which the money is given and the position of the giver.

The State can only give for economic reasons, however conscientious and individually charitable statesmen may be; while the Church gives for the Love of God, and the Love of God never yet destroyed any man's self-respect.

Well, you know the end.

The Church came forward once more and, under certain conditions, offered to relieve the State of the entire burden.
