ABSTRACT
I went to a meeting about Ragged Schools. Oh, to hear how people talk of others, and think they are treating them as Christians! I'd rather be a table than a Ragged School child. Not an attempt made to show how the teaching influences the children themselves, plenty of statistics about numbers of Bibles given away, &c. I should like to know, Mary, what you think about classes in society, rank, station, work; how far you approve of intercourse between classes, how far you would do work which is usually done by a lower class, if it were useful, but not necessary. Oh, what a power for good anyone has, who does go among people, as if he was one of them, entering into all their thoughts.
