“He [God] has had the scraps of one’s time, He has had the remnants of one’s money, He has had, perhaps, our cast-off clothes which were really out of fashion, and they might go to the poor because not wanted, and then credit shall be had for having clothed the poor. And this is Christianity!”
Hanmer William Webb-Pebloe, a.k.a. Prebendary Webb-Pebloe, (1837-1923), was a fixture in the Keswick conventions or “spiritual clinics” held in the Lake District in England to deepen the spiritual life of professing Christians.
