to distribute them . I am sure that in proportion . : is you lift up your labourers in their" own eyes , . they Avill .-forget their -poverty , and think themselves rich in your Idni . hics . s ; and they would be delighted to hear a few kind word * of encouragement * calcxilated to givo them true . elevation itn-d self-respect . 1 am sure they would be delighted to . hear a gentleman in Mr . ¦ - . Kkigiit ' s position , as the patron of the society , if he would—t won ' t say condescend—but . if lie would take the trouble to address them in the spirit of brotherhood , and to tell them that honest labour involves no degradation , and that they may , though poor in circumstances , to di the humblest
become rich in good works , and gnify station in society , so as to meet with the approval of GocTxis well as the approbation of their fellmyrooimtvyinexi . I think that such a course -would confer great benefit on . the recipients of your rewards ' . I think thaftlio patron might , almost venture to-tell them that goodness levels all the distinctions of this world , and that the sense of duty and the power of doing right are the . greatest gifts God can now bestow upon man / He might , also , I think , impress tip on them that the greatest man in this roonx is riot necessarily the patron of this society "; or my honourable friend the baronet , on my right : or the members of Parliament ; or any among those whom he
