To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
This is the key- stone of its strength even in the most intel- lectually advanced circles. But it requires some mental power to visualise a living personality from historical data merely. The untrained native of the tropics has seldom this capacity. The missionary's life should aid him in rilling in the vague outlines of the Ideal Life. But none the less the missionary must choose (or his Society for him) to which of several possible occupations he will ostensibly devote himself; for his charac...- ter cannot disclose itself in vacua. Moreover, the part of moral training which can most easily be reduced to definite formulas, and thus taught, is the negative side. It is easier to prohibit special activities than to raise the whole tone of activity by the presentation of a higher ideal. But if Christianity is to come as a living force it must come as a positive force, exalting and ennobling the possibilities of life. The presence of the missionary, living, as nearly as may be, the life that he would live in a Christian environment or better still, if possible, the sight of a group of Christian laymen living lives of purposeful activity is likely to be of more avail than the fullest course of systematic instruction in Christian ethics.
