| READING & STUDY OF HENRY GEORGE’S SPEECHES: Richard will begin this term by looking at George’s famous address delivered in 1889 in the City Hall, Glasgow which has come to be known as “Thy kingdom come” “Think of Heaven treated as we treat the earth. No matter how salubrious were its air, no matter how bright the light that filled it, no matter how magnificent its vegetable growth, there would be poverty, and suffering, and a division of classes in heaven itself, if heaven were parcelled out as we have parcelled out the earth.”
