The Destruction of the Poor
Wesleyan S. S. Magazine
Proverbs 10:15
The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.


1. Poor people mostly remain poor, for want of the means of rising.

2. The poor are sometimes despised and downtrodden by the proud.

3. They are often reckless, spending their little foolishly. But for this numbers would be richer.

4. They are especially tempted to dishonesty.

(Wesleyan S. S. Magazine.)
