Excerpt from Publications of the Catholic Truth Society, Vol. 1The sacred rights of property - yes, but there is some thing even more sacred than property, the lives and happiness of mankind. It is an often proved thesis that property is an, institution natural and necessary, a com forting doctrine to persons in easy circumstances. But these arguments for property are not the want of the times. Dives does not need them, and Lazarus will not heed them, not at least unless they be accompanied with a recognition of his grievances and a discourse of reme dies for the same. The sacred duties of property, that is the theme to take up at present, even in the worldly interest of the propertied classes themselves. To parody a famous saying, property now is on its trial. If the existence of Dives is a benefit to Lazarus according to the order, of nature, then well and good, Dives may be converted, and maintained in his estate, but if his existence is a benefit to no one but himself, so much the worse for Dives in the time that is coming on earth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
