Andrew Martin Fairbairn, Scottish Congregationalist, looks at impact of Christianity upon the world. It’s created armies of teachers, reformers, philanthropists. Brung emancipation, hospitals, peace and justice.

Wait, you might say, you know professed Christians who can fairly said to be opponents of every one of these. I say you have not contradicted Fairbairn.

How can you bring moral changes to the world?

How can you give in secret?
