"Why, that's what they are for."
"Do you think there are enough of them to preach the good news to every creature?"
"Well, then, there ought to be more."
"And in the meantime?—Tell me, Christina, to whom was that command given, to preach the gospel to every creature?"
"To the apostles, of course!"
"Twelve men? Or eleven men, rather. They could not. No, it was given to all the disciples; and so, Christina, it was given to you, and to me."
"To preach the gospel!" said Christina.
"That is, just to tell the good news."
"And to whom do you propose we should tell it?"
"The command says, everybody."
