    Identifies a 'fallacy' into which 'men of mere detail inevitably fall' on the subject of missions: 'They judge by weight, and measure, and number, so to speak, concerning things which are no more capable of being so estimated, than the light of morning, or the diffusive warmth of a vernal atmosphere' (324).
