Society's Treatment of the Weak
Isaiah 10:20-23
And it shall come to pass in that day, that the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Jacob…


Who thinks of the poor and fallen? Society! The most bungling work society ever does in this world, it does when it attempts to be merciful Society is a machine, at best of patches and expedients. When men fall out of their places, and need to be tenderly dealt with, then the hands of society are clumsier to deal with than a lout's, a yeoman's hand, in the field, is clumsy to take care of the newborn babe.

(H. W. Beecher.)
