Yes, they should, If he does Ownit. But that is the Point. The Law lets himOwn it, but did God mean Land to be so dealtwith? See the Cut up at tlie top of this it not the Same sort of Thing? Heie is aMan who owns a Pool in the wide, hot Plain,and he has a barb wire Fence round it. Thepoor Folks are Dry and Faint with their LongMarch, and come to the Pool to Drink. Theymust Drink or Die, But he will not let themDiink if they do not give him a gi-eat Shareof the Goods they have brought so far, or a lotof Gold. Is he not just like the man whoowns Land so as to live on Bent ? 31. LESSON XXVIII. Want You It The May By Earth Own Law Here is the World. It is a big Ball, is itnot ? Yes, it is Big. Do you Want the Earth ?Yes, but may I Have it ? So far as the Lawgoes, Yes, you May. The Law, you know, letsyou Own a Lot. If you may thus own OneLot, you may own Two, and if Two then Ten,and the Law Draws no Line to say where theThing must End. You may Own the wholeGlobe, so far as the Law goes. And Oh, whata heap of Rent you could get if you did ownit! All Men would have to Pay you or GetOff your Land. They would have no Right toLive but by your Will, though God gave themthe Right to Life. We want to Mend this Law,so that no Man shall Own Land who does notPay each Year its Fair AVorth as bare Landto the Till of the State. 32
