(Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy ...)
Excerpt from American Charities: A Study in Philanthropy and Economics The influence Of religion upon the benevolent instincts Of man can be studied in nearly all its phases in the history Of charities administered by the Christian church; and in that history can be traced the power of an accepted theology both to exalt and to degrade the charitable impulse. While the antiquarian may be able to point out many traces of active benevolence before the Christian era, while there is much genuine philan thropy outside Of Christianity, and while it may even be said that the church of the present day that administers its charities most wisely is not Christian at all, but J ew ish, -it yet remains true that charity, as we know it, gets its chief religious authority and incentive from Him who gave as the summary Of all the law and prophets the co-ordinate commands to love God and to love our neighbor, and who, in explaining these commands, pro nounced the parable Of the Good Samaritan. At first, Christianity brought to the world a purified and enno bled charity, a love of fellow men very different from the semi-selfish motives that prompted to prayer, pen ance, and almsgiving as means to a common end - that Of securing divine favor. The early diaconate seems to have been a satisfactory way Of organizing what is now called friendly Visiting.

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.

Amos Griswold Warner was born at Elkader, Iowa, the posthumous son of Amos Warner, a country physician, who was killed in an accident, and of Esther (Carter) Warner. The latter was a woman of exceptional intelligence and strength of character, actively interested in temperance, woman's suffrage, and other social movements of the day. In 1864 she moved with her four children to Roca, a village near Lincoln, in the Territory of Nebraska.
Amos attended country schools until he entered the preparatory department of the University of Nebraska in 1878. Exceptionally well-read, highly intelligent, and full of enthusiasm, he soon became a leader in student affairs. He was graduated with the degree of A. B. in 1885. Entering the Johns Hopkins University for graduate study in economics and the social sciences, he at once attracted attention by his creativeness and his instinct for reality, and was granted a fellowship. In 1888 he received the degree of Ph. D.
Early in 1887 he delivered a speech on social problems at the church attended by John Glenn, the Maryland philanthropist. Through Glenn's influence he was appointed general secretary of the Charity Organization Society of Baltimore, in which position he served while completing his graduate work. In 1889 Warner became associate professor of economics at his alma mater, where his course in the scientific study of industrial corporations was probably the first in this subject offered in an American university. In February 1891, President Harrison appointed him superintendent of charities for the District of Columbia. The charitable institutions of the District were then in a chaotic condition, but in two years Warner succeeded in organizing an admirable system and in inducing Congress to found a board of children's guardians. In 1893 he became professor of economics and social science at Leland Stanford Junior University, accepting the position because the institution had just received as a gift the Hopkins Railway Library. He was especially interested in railway problems and visualized a new department which should include not only economic and financial problems but engineering and administrative questions as well. The following year, in addition to a heavy teaching program, he wrote in less than two months American Charities, a book of 407 pages, which became a classic in the field of applied sociology, a fourth edition being published in 1930. It was almost the first book of its kind and for many years was accepted as the best. Warner had inherited enormous vitality and a fairly strong physique, but ten years of research, organizing and administrative labor, and teaching had seriously undermined it. During the Western railway strike of 1893 he was obliged to travel at night on the open deck of a Sacramento River steamer and contracted a violent cold. This developed into tuberculosis, which compelled him to take a leave of absence from Stanford University, in November 1894, and to spend five years in exile in the Southwest. His mental vigor, however, enabled him to continue the social-economic editorials which he had been writing for the Real Estate Record and Builders Guide of New York. In 1897, in a brief period of improved health, he returned to Stanford and delivered before the Chapel Union four addresses based on social science, which revealed his broad religious point of view and his spiritual power. These were published after his death under the title Lay Sermons by Amos Griswold Warner (1904). Unable to take up teaching again, he returned to the desert and died at Las Cruces, N. Mex. , survived by his wife, a son, and a daughter.
His book, American Charities. A Study in Philanthropy and Economics (ISBN 0-543-91081-4) was published in 1894 and became a standard textbook on the subject. In addition to more than a hundred editorials he wrote numerous addresses and articles, many of which are fundamentally valuable in the history of social economics in America.

He had an epigrammatic humor which ever afterward gave a pungent flavor to his speaking and writing.
He spoke and wrote clear, vivid, fluent English, enlivened by quaint humor and practical illustrations. He had a pioneering mind, which seized upon essentials. In teaching he was not a drill-master, desiring that his students get ideas and attack practical social problems, rather than depend upon theoretical textbooks. His reputation in the field of applied sociology must rest chiefly on his American Charities, which marked the high achievement of his young manhood.
On September 5, 1888 he married Cora Ellen Fisher, a graduate of the University of Nebraska.
