How important is consistent Christian testimony to effective gospel witness. In Chartist times (a Victorian era workplace reform movement), people often labored in little hovels for a mere pittance. W. Y. Fullerton tells of a Christian in the market town of Kettering, England, who worked his knitting machine in a little lean-to behind a grocer’s shop. He didn’t earn enough to buy sufficient food for his family. Each morning he came, a hungry man, and had to walk down between piles of the food his body longed to have. The shop keeper noticed he walked with clenched fists, muttering to himself, and was afraid he was a dangerous Chartist, prone to violence against shop owners. But as he surreptitiously listened one day, he finally heard what the believer was saying. Here he was, with his ill-nourished body, walking between the things he might so easily have attempted to steal, and he kept repeating the words at the end of Psalm 25, “Let integrity and uprightness preserve me.”
