. . . Alas! Some among Jesus' modern disciples have unwittingly sacrificed themselves for the rest by forging ahead to test the bargain, and they have been left with ashes. There can no longer be any doubt that it was a fraud from the beginning. If embracing worldly wisdom really would attract converts and confer renewed respectability on the churches, it would confront even the most faithful with a glittering temptation. But history has demonstrated that the unjust steward does not keep his bargains. Those churches that have moved farthest and fastest in agreeing to the bargain are now far along the road to extinction. . . .
