You know that all the beautiful things which the people who do nothing have are made by the people who work, don't you ?' 'Yes.' 'And you know that those who work have to eat the very worst food, and wear the very worst clothes, and live in the very worst homes.' 'Yes,' said Frankie.
'And sometimes they have nothing to eat at all, and no clothes to wear except rags, and even no homes to live in.' 'Yes,' repeated the child.
'Well, the vicar goes about telling the Idlers that it's quite right for them to do nothing, and that God meant them to have nearly everything that is made by those who work.

In fact, he tells them that God made the poor for the use of the rich.

Then he goes to the workers and tells them that God meant them to work very hard and to give all the good things they make to those who do nothing, and that they should be very thankful to God and to the idlers for being allowed to have even the very worst food to eat and the rags, and broken boots to wear.
He also tells them that they mustn't grumble, or be discontented because they're poor in this world, but that they must wait till they're dead, and then God will reward them by letting them go to a place called Heaven.' Frankie laughed.
'And what about the Idlers ?' he asked.
'The vicar says that if they believe everything he tells them and give him some of the money they make out of the workers, then God will let them into heaven also.' 'Well, that's not fair doos, is it, Mum ?' said Frankie with some indignation.
'It wouldn't be if it were true, but then you see it's not true, it can't be true.' 'Why can't it, Mum ?' 'Oh, for many reasons: to begin with, the vicar doesn't believe it himself: he only pretends to.

For instance, he pretends to believe the Bible, but if we read the Bible we find that Jesus said that God is our father and that all the people in the world are His children, all brothers and sisters.

But the vicar says that although Jesus said "brothers and sisters" He really ought to have said "masters and servants".
