J. C. Ryle, evangelical and first Bishop of Liverpool, urges practical religion: pity the poor, and actively help lift them—by increasing knowledge, promoting morality, and improving material conditions. The list is broad on purpose. Faithful obedience often means supporting good work even when it isn’t our preferred kind.

Black quote card with a sepia portrait of J. C. Ryle on the left. Beneath it, white text reads “J. C. RYLE (1816–1900)” and Practical Religion. On the right, a long white quotation urges compassion for the poor, calling readers to active efforts to lift them from hardship through education, moral improvement, and practical action to better their material condition.
