Excerpt from Known to the Police But I can speak with more authority for the poor, whom I know, love, and serve. The poor have no ill-feeling toward the rich they harbour no suspicions; no envy, hatred, or malice dwell in their simple minds. Their goodness astonishes me, and it rebukes me. Ah, when we get at the heart of things, rich and poor are very close together, and this close ness makes me hopeful; for out of it social salvation will come and the day arrive when experiences like unto mine will be impossible, and mine will have passed away as an evil dream. Sincerely and devoutly I hope that this simple record of some parts of my life and my work may tend to bind rich and poor still closer.
