0ne cannot walk along the Thame5 Embankment, in the 5mall hour5 ofmorning, from the Hou5e5 of Parliament, pa5t Cleopatra'5 Needle, toWaterloo Bridge, without being reminded of the 5uffering5, 5even andtwenty centurie5 old, recited by the author of "Job":-

There are that remove the landmark5; they violently take away flock5and feed them.

They drive away the a55 of the fatherle55, they take the widow'5 oxfor a pledge.

They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hidethem5elve5 together.

Behold, a5 wild a55e5 in the de5ert they go forth to their work,5eeking diligently for meat; the wilderne55 yieldeth them food fortheir children.
