God’s Justice for Rich and Poor

COLONEL INGERSOLL uttered what is held as truth by too many in these days, when he said: “When the rich combine, it is for the purpose of ‘exchanging ideas.’ When the poor combine, it is a ‘conspiracy.’ If they act in concert, if they really do something, it is a ‘mob.’ If they defend themselves, it is a ‘treason.’” But there is One who is no respecter of persons; and that is the God which Mr. Ingersoll contemns. He cares for the poor, and will in his own time mete out exact justice to all.
