Excerpt from Holy Ghost College Bulletin, 1900-'02, Vol. 7 It is the source of the distinction of classes - for surely it must fall to some members of the society to procure the material, to others to procure the spiritual welfare of the society - and this truth is moreover the source of the division of labor. No compact, therefore, of man's free will, but nature herself, has divided and subordinated the human family. Nature has sub ordinated these classes, because there exists of necessity a real relation be tween them - a relation, namely, of superiority and inferiority, according as their obligations to society are greater or less. But though nature has thus or dered, She has not ordered that the higher classes Should despise the lower and oppress them. This is in opposition to the harmony that order requires. St. Clement of Rome already protested against any such disorder - Let the strong not despise the weak, he writes to the Corinthians, let the weak show respect to the strong. Let the rich man provide for the wants of the poor, and let the poor man bless God, because He hath given him one by whom his needs may be supplied. The disturbance of this harmony is social corruption - its restoration is social reform - its entire abandonment and the substitution of a new arbitrary order is social revolution or anarchy. To-day the classes are sadly out of joint - social corruption reigns. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
