Richard Salter Storrs was a Congregationalist minister in MA and NY. Here he says that Christianity drives sympathy, an utmost exertion to relieve suffering, enlighten the darkened, and lift the oppressed.

This movement saw social justice and evangelization as same thread. Today, too many view these as competing, or one must be subjugated to the other.

How can you exert to relieve physical and spiritual suffering?

"Those among us who have been blessed with material wealth have the means to end hunger in our city. The worst thing that can happen to any person, a believer of any faith or a nonbeliever, is the sickness of indifference."
