To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The reaction of missions upon the church, the monastery, the orders, the papacy and the universities affords invaluable illus- tration of the play of personal and social forces. Mo- nasticism hindered missions. When monks accomplished good as missioners, it was by virtue of their Christian character but athwart their monastic purpose and tem- per. But a star of truth shone in the darkest hour of monkish degeneration, and the leaven of the genuine spirit of missions never became wholly powerless.... Mo- nasticism had been clear in its fount, though miry in the stream. Through Francis and Dominic it burgeoned into missions, and blossomed from selfishness into sacri- fice. Though the Dominicans and Franciscans were mis- sionaries, preachers and teachers rather than monks, Livingstone observed that the monasteries had been "mission?stations which resembled ours in being alms* houses for the poor, dispensaries for the sick and nurser- ies of learning. Can we learn nothing from them as the schools of Europe in their prosperity, and see naught but the laziness and pollution of their decay?" If armies followed or preceded missions; if proselyting orders of monks and princes took the place of a church filled with the mission-spirit and prosecuting the mis- sion^work, — the fault lay at the door of a false concep- tion of the church and in a lower standard of spirituality.
