effects of American influence, he fails to realize the fact that it 
might be used for good. That the minister might advance the 
cause of his church, and increase the happiness and usefulness 
of his countrymen, by helping them to choose the good and 
avoid the evil in American society, is very far from being com¬ 
prehended by those who dominate the policy of the church. The 
average clergyman is, however, no more “ ignorant and bigoted” 
in his views than the man who fails to see any good in the 
efforts of the foreigners to maintain the language, manners and 
customs of their native land; for such critic does not realize 
that the tenacious clinging of the foreigners to things which 
in their childhood they were taught to hold sacred reveals a 
most valuable characteristic, that it shows a stability of char¬ 
acter in the foreigners which makes them much more desirable 
citizens than they would be if they could throw off all love for 
and allegiance to their native land and language as easily and 
with as little regret as they would discard a worn-out coat.
