London’s Underworld

CHAPTER XIV
33/35

Fourteenth: a co-ordination of all philanthropic and charity agencies to form one great society with branches in every parish.
Give us these things, and surely they are not impossible, and half our present expensive difficulties would disappear.

Fewer prisons, workhouses and hospitals would be required.

The need for shelters and labour homes would not exist.

The necessity for the activities of many charitable agencies whose constant appeals are so disturbing and puzzling, but whose work is now required, would pass away too.
But with all these things given, there would be still great need for the practice of kindness and the development of brotherly love.

For without brotherly love and kindly human interest, laws are but cast-iron rules, and life but a living death.
