Paragraph

 1 1 |         momentous gravity of the state of things now obtaining
 2 2 |    Christian constitution of the State, and like matters, so have
 3 4 |        to be administered by the State or by municipal bodies.
 4 4 |          the present mischievous state of things will be set to
 5 4 |     distort the functions of the State, and create utter confusion
 6 7 |          no need to bring in the State. Man precedes the State,
 7 7 |          State. Man precedes the State, and possesses, prior to
 8 7 |          to the formation of any State, the right of providing
 9 12|       obligations. In choosing a state oflife, it is indisputable
10 12|           and one older than any State. Consequently, it has rights
11 12|         quite independent of the State.  ~
12 13|         A family, no less than a State, is, as We have said, a
13 13|      least equal rights with the State in the choice and pursuit
14 14|    abolished nor absorbed by the State; for it has the same source
15 14|          parent and setting up a State supervision, act against
16 16|   intervention of the law and of State authority.  ~
17 17|        man never fallen from the state of innocence, he would not
18 19|       parts of the body, so in a State is it ordained by nature
19 30|          relief organized by the State. But no human expedients
20 31|         to inquire what part the State should play in the work
21 32|                       32. By the State we here understand, not
22 32|          or that nation, but the State as rightly apprehended;
23 32|    Christian Constitution of the State.(26) The foremost duty,
24 32|  therefore, of the rulers of the State should be to make sure that
25 32|        work of the rulers. Now a State chiefly prospers and thrives
26 32|       benefit every class in the State, and amongst the rest to
27 33|         sight of. As regards the State, the interests of all, whether
28 34| inequalities of condition in the State. Society cannot exist or
29 34|        the foremost place in the State, and should be held in highest
30 35|        35. We have said that the State must not absorb the individual
31 35|         of the government of the State should be, not the advantage
32 37|         in need of help from the State; whereas the mass of the
33 37|       upon the assistance of the State. And it is for this reason
34 40|       should be protected by the State; and first of all, there
35 45|  interference on the part of the State, especially as circumstances,
36 45|         of the wage-earners; the State being appealed to, should
37 47|    nature, not from man; and the State has the right to control
38 47|        absorb it altogether. The State would therefore be unjust
39 51|    natural right of man; and the State hasfor its office to protect
40 52|    unlawful, or dangerous to the State. In such cases, public authority
41 53|         alone. The rulers of the State accordingly have no rights
42 53|  contrary, it is the duty of the State to respect and cherish them,
43 53|        times. In many places the State authorities have laid violent
44 55|         wisely administered. The State should watch over these
45 59|      degree of prosperity to the State. Is it not rash to conjecture
46 60|   interest to all classes of the State than that it should be rightly
47 61|  advantage would result from the state of things We are describing;
