evangelistic workers directly so called, and in such a case the fact that the evangelistic workers are apparently lacking in the hospital does not at all show that the medical work is not a strong evangelistic force.  But any danger of misguidance which might arise if this table stood alone must be counteracted by the other tables; for the three can be taken together.  And when this allowance has been made the table is useful with the others, and lights one side of the question before us.
