Thrift

CHAPTER IV
34/44

Or, into the statistics of drunkenness and improvidence of all sorts; still Ignorance is predominant.

Or, into the annals of pauperism; there, again, Ignorance is Power.
The principal causes of anxiety in this country, are the social suffering and disease which proceed from Ignorance.

To mitigate these, we form associations, organize societies, spend money, and labour in committees.

But the power of Ignorance is too great for us.

We almost despair while we work.
