" You asked, why are the poor poor. I was struck by that.” “What I can’t see—what I really can’t see—is why everyone doesn’t ask themselves that, all the time . How can these people bear to go to church and then go about in the streets and see what is there for everyone to see—and get told what the Bible says about the poor—and go on riding in carriages, and choosing neckties and hats—and eating huge beefsteaks—I can’t see it.” “I have brought a book for you to read. I think probably you should not let it be seen in your home. But I think it will speak to you. "
