Nicholas Ridley was a martyr under Mary I. God is pleased with alms, will require them from our hands. Public provision should provide jobs against the indignity of begging.

But today, we seek to keep ourselves from the shame of seeing beggars, & make public provision to sweep them off our streets and highways. We testify that our Lord is more setteth by hours of devotional time.

How can you provide for the orphans and aged?

“... we are certain that God is pleased with [alms], and doth and will require such at our hands, which are a part of true religion, as St. James saith, and such as he saith himself he setteth more by than by sacrifice, as to provide for the fatherless, infants and orphans, for the lame, aged, and impotent poor needy folk, and to make public provision that the poverty that might labour, should have wherewith to labour upon, and so be kept from shameful beggary and stealing.."

Calvin Mateer, Presbyterian missionary to China, is praised in a biography. He started a campaign to end foot-binding and fought opium use.

Today, do we hear complaints missionaries must focus on spirituality, and regular Christians focus on devotions that we never see needs outside our house. Do you think Mateer was only a social campaigner, or he opened hearts to the gospel?

Is this witness more authentic?
