Excerpt from Life and Light for Woman, Vol. 52: February, 1922 But, thirdly, the object of Missionary Education fails of its consummate flower and fruitage if it does not result in enlarged gifts for the sake of those about whom we learn. Information and knowledge, interest and sympathy are the soil in which the act of generosity may be hopefully nurtured. They make possible generous and enlarged giving. They are what the prepared and enriched field is in the springtime. If, however, no effort is made to bring out of the interest and information and sympathy and knowledge the proper manifestation, they will be of no more value than the field made ready for the sowing of the seed but left to be reclaimed by the weeds and elements. There need be no hesitancy in emphasizing the informing and enlarging aspect of Missionary Education. Information is valu able, and enlargement of view, breadth of vision and depth of sympathy are very much needed and have their appropriate values; but there should be no disposition to permit Missionary Education to stop with only these benefits. In the instance of some churches and individuals it is likely to do so, for the reason that no urgent appeal is made to secure enlarged gifts and no decisions are reached to make such gifts. J. E.
