"Not to send a few. But how long would a few people be about telling the gospel to all the world? Suppose one man had as much as the whole State of New York for his parish?"

"But, then, Ditto—to send a great many people, it would want a great deal of money."
"It does. What then?"
"Maybe people cannot afford it."
"Let us ask Mr. Murray about that."
"But, Ditto, what do you think? I know you think something."
"Maggie, I think we should seek first the kingdom."
