Unit Description

Men stood on street corners, begging or selling fruit. Women took in laundry and other work and did all they could to cut household expenses. Hoboes hopped onto railroad cars in hopes of finding work in other places. Most of these individuals had only recently been hardworking people. They had now fallen into poverty as a result of the Great Depression.

Leading Ideas and Biblical Principles

[list type=”arrow”]

Happiness and success is not found in the gathering of wealth.
- To the man who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. — Ecclesiastes 2:26
