What could be better than 'vacarent studio orationi et ministerio verbi, sicut decet sanctos,' and that they should remember that 'qui militat Deo \[70\] non implicat se negociis secularibus,' as said St. Paul. There can be no doubt that missions are a great work, but missionaries must be imitators of the Apostles, who preached by miracles and not by hectoring words. If I thought my book would not fall into the hands of laymen, I would state some other matters, in the hope that zealous superiors might provide a remedy for the many disorders existing in India in this direction. - [Previous: 103.3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.103.3) - [Next: 104.1](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.104.1) - [Up: 103](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.103) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.103.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.103.4) · Pramāṇa
