JESUS AND THE POOR. A VISION OF GIRARD AND THE CITY
A long fragment from The Knickerbocker blends a sermon on Jesus and the poor with vivid urban scenes. It contrasts Stephen Girard’s philanthropic will for orphans against harsh city poverty, detailing scenes of beggars, slums, and a bank crisis, ending with moral exhortations and warnings about wealth and justice.
