We want no revolution; we want the brotherhood of men. We want men to love one another. We want all men to have what is sufficient for their needs. But when we meet -people who deny Christ in His poor, we feel, ‘Here are the atheists.’ They turned first from Christ crucified because He was a poor worker, buffeted and spat upon and beaten. And now — ​strange thought — ​the devil has so maneuvered that the -people turn from Him because those who profess Him are clothed in soft raiment and sit at well-spread tables and deny the poor.
