To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
That " anybody will do for a missionary" is an exploded idea whose origin is not hard to trace. The people of non-Christian lands were thought to be ignorant; but we have discovered, through our better understanding of them, that this is not true. Pagan nations, or perhaps we should say barbarous nations, may be ignorant; but this is not true of the heathen world. All missionary experience has gone to prove that the best educated and most capable, as well as the most devout and consecrated work...ers are everywhere demanded. The missionary must first know enough to make a home, and that in a foreign land, where conditions are such that he must often be archi- tect as well as mason. He needs some knowl- edge of a good many trades, and must possess financial and executive ability as well, in order to go to the forest or market and purchase the right amount and kind of timber for his buildings, and 71 Missions in Eden thus attend to all of the details of construction, planning all the while so that he shall have enough money wherewith to finish his enter- prise.
