...every point in our every day existence, where men come in contact with one another, there is an opportunity for service to God just as much as in going to church and in doing missionary work Jesus did not mean that those who follow him must necessarily renounce their every day pursuits and cease to come in contact with others. It often puzzles one who tries to understand what He mant by saying, that one who became a disciple of his had to forsake all possessions and follow Him.

But what does he mean by the indefinite word "several"? Two "cases," or four, or six? And what by his adverb "practically"? Surely he is aware that very slight changes in brief-structure oftentimes mean great alterations in the sense and effectiveness of the argument. Again, does he not know that accidents often happen...
