The Storm Brewing

A FEW days ago one of New York’s great capitalists received a letter warning him that his life was in danger, and advising him to be on the lookout. This is but one of many circumstances that are so characteristic of these times. There is a storm brewing. The pent-up feelings of those who are aggrieved at the rich are beginning to break loose. Of course it is not right for one man to thus seek to destroy another. But the men of wealth are pursuing a wrong course, and where men do not submit to the grace of God, to be held for the right, it may be expected that they will combine for vigorous and violent action against the oppressions of capitalists.

The first part of the fifth chapter of James places the situation before us in its true light.
