Help Ignorant Ministers
Because a minister is ignorant or immoral,
I don't believe you gain anything by attempting
to get rid of him. I don't believe you
gain anything by that kind of procedure. You
gain more by helping him get rid of his faults,
trying to help him become more intelligent;
and in that way, instead of having to spend
your force in fighting somebody, you spend it
in making a friend that is going to be of some
value to you and the people in the community.
This is the method which many foreign missionaries
are adopting. Instead of their going
to Africa, China, and other heathen countries
fighting the religious customs of the natives,
they are going to take hold of their religion
and get out of it whatever is good upon which
they can build a stronger and better religion.
