Daniel March, Congregationalist minister, hymn writer. He criticizes another religion for withdrawing from society. Doing nothing for public welfare, no pity for the poor, no plan for the relief of misery. Interest in well-being of fellow beings is a distraction from spirituality. Virtue-signaling is a no-no.

Is this the problem with American contemporary religion?

How can you do the opposite of all of March’s complaints?

“They … does nothing for the public welfare ; he denies all bonds of kindred and brotherhood of humanity; he shows no pity for the poor, no sympathy for the suffering; he has no intellectual aspirations for his own improvement, no plan or purpose for the relief of the misery about him. He considers it a merit to repress all desire and affection, all thought and feeling, all interest in the well-being of his fellowmen or the advance of the world in knowledge and virtue and truth."
