“Selon moi donc, le char du progres social doit être mu par
l’industrie et dirigé par l’esprit chrétien. Il s’arrête à
défaut de travail, il déraille à défaut de charité.... Et
s’il est prouvé que c’est industrie qui nourrit l’humanité,
que c’est elle qui la chauffe et la préserve contre toutes
les intemperies, n’est il pas juste de dire que pousser au
développement du travail, comme nous nous proposons, répandre
dans l’esprit des travailleurs des idées qu’ils peuvent
féconder pour arriver à une invention, a un perfectionment,
a un nouveau procédé quelconque diminuant le prix de ce qui
entretient la vie, que c’est là, messieurs, de la bienfaisance
par excellence.”—President’s Opening Address of the Industrial
and Scientific Society of St. Nicolas, 1866.
