Eliphalet Nott, a Presbyterian minister and college president, basically says: calm down, generosity isn’t Marxism. Helping a widow with bread, an old man with a cane, or a dying mother with a pillow is not the end of civilization—it’s just using a bit of the abundance you already have. Mercy doesn’t require a revolution, just a heart.

Black background graphic featuring a 19th-century painted portrait of Eliphalet Nott (1816–1900), Presbyterian minister and college president, holding a rolled paper. Large white text quotes his discourse on Job 29:11–12, arguing that charitable giving does not promote idleness but should provide simple mercies: a staff for the old man, bread for the widow, a nurse for the infant, and comfort for the dying mother.
