as one finds in the Student Christian Movement. I like to regard denominations as necessary but relatively unimportant parts of the whole. To me it is not sect that matters, but the Church of Christ. It has long been my impression that Missions are less hampered by the barrier of denominationalism than the Church at home. When Dr. Taylor originally drew my attention to the needs of your Society, I mentioned the fact that I felt I might not ‘fit in’ with some Societies – but he said that he did not think that was likely as far as the English Presbyterians were concerned. From what you say it would appear that this is not likely to stand in the way. Of course I realize that you would want some guarantees as regards the essentials.
The third consideration that, since I have no private means, the Society I worked with would promise enough. A Medical Missionary Volunteer is not one who is out to make money, but I realize that some missionaries have to draw money from other sources to make up the necessary. I assume from what you say, your Society provides enough to live on. Assured of that

學生基督教運動的那種氛圍。我喜歡將不同教會視為必要，但整體中相對不重要的組織。對我而言，派別不重要，重要的是他是否屬於基督教。相較於在英國家鄉的教會，我過去經驗促使我認為海外宣教會較不受教會藩籬影響。起初Taylor醫生告知我有關貴傳道會需求時，我有提到我與一些宣教會「不太合」，但他表示英國長老教會應該不會在意這種事，我也從你的談話中認為這件事應該不會造成困擾。當然，我理解你應該會想要一些基本保證。
　第三考量是我無個人收入，過去我曾工作的傳道會都答應會有合理薪資。我知道醫療宣教士一職非以賺錢為目的，但是我知道有些宣教士必須從其他收入來彌補缺口。依據你所告訴我的資訊，貴傳道會給予的薪資足以過生活。若能答應這請求，
