I
hold that every poor man, every vagrant, every beggar is Christ
carrying his cross. And as Christ, we must love and help him. We must
treat him as a brother, a human being like ourselves. If we were to
start a campaign of love for the poor and homeless, we would, in a
short time, do away with depressing scenes of begging, children
sleeping in doorways and women with babies in their arms fainting in
our streets.
