Reformers, Not Bigots.—The one object to be
kept before the mind is that you are reformers and
not bigots. In dealing with unbelievers, do not
show a contemptible spirit of littleness, for if you
stop to haggle over a small sum, you will, in the
end, lose a much larger sum. They will say, “That
man is a sharper; he would cheat you out of your
rights if he possibly could, so be on your guard
when you have any dealing with him.”
