For all these things will be made in light and cleanliness, and the brand of shame will be no longer upon them. Then the pioneers of the Empire at the ends of the earth will be no longer sad when their hearts, touched by remembrance, vibrate to the magnet of their soul, their old country and home. For in the circuit of the sun gladness and joy shall be felt in the knowledge that the poorest of the poor in the world’s greatest city have a chance for health and virtue, for peace and comfort. THE END BILLING AND SONS, LTD., PRINTERS, GUILDFORD FOOTNOTES: [1] TOO OLD TO LIVE! ‘Aged forty-six, and out of work, a grocer’s assistant named Thomas Harvey hanged himself at a house in Euston Road. ‘On a piece of paper in the suicide’s pocket was written: ‘“I cannot get work, so have to die in a so-called Christian country. Young men only are employed, and the elders shoved aside when too old for the trade, to do what they can, no matter how meritorious their service to their employer may have been.” ‘At the inquest, yesterday, a verdict of “temporary insanity” was returned.’--_Daily Express_, July 5, 1900.
