Jeremiah Burroughs, Puritan minister, on Psalm 112. A good person lends to the poor. The Psalm such a person’s righteousness endures forever. Burroughs concludes that mercy is a special part of righteousness.
Do we “make it weird” by having to rewrite doctrine so that Christian misers don’t feel left out? Do we want credit for a righteousness that is free of mercy?
How can you show favor, lend, and disperse to the poor today?

William Apess, Methodist missionary, part Pequot, relates his message to Indians. He says not to work own crops is evil, but blames rum-sellers. Encourages organizing against white peddlers.
The olden liquor campaigns were more about social justice than spiritual poison. You CAN call for moral purity and justice in the same sentence. Christian missionary journals are a source of incisive records of injustice vs. indigenous.
