William Alfred Passavant was a minister working with European immigrants and freed Blacks. America “invites the poor from all lands”; Christians toil away helping the sick in light of Matthew 25.

Passavant also defended the Augsburg Confession. How many doing so today will remembered in 100y for service to black Americans and immigrants? Or the opposite?

How can you toil for the least of these?

"Here, where a new world invites the poor from all lands, where the Church has the mightiest problem to solve for 'pure and undefiled religion,' and where sin and sickness abound on every side, a little company of Christians are toiling by night and by day in ministrations to the suffering. ... They have but one motive, the love of God. They offer but one argument, the words of Christ, 'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of these, the least of my disciples, ye have done it unto me.'"
