The great value of dealing with an organization which knows all the facts, and can best decide just where the help can be applied to the best advantage, has impressed itself upon me through the results of long years of experience. For example, one is asked to give in a certain field of missionary work a sum, for a definite purpose--let us say a hospital. To comply with this request will take, say, $10,000. It seems wise and natural to give this amount. The missionary who wants this money is working under the direction of a strong and capable religious denomination.

白话
把钱交给了解全局的组织，价值巨大。比如有传教士要建医院，开口要一万美元，你直接给钱看似合理。但这位传教士背后有强大的教派，若先问教派的管理者，可能发现当地并不急需新医院，邻近医院就能满足需求；而另一个地方的传教士却毫无医疗资源。钱该花在后者身上。捐款人往往不知道这些情况，所以先咨询掌握更多信息的人再行动，才是明智的。

洛克菲勒以传教士建医院为例，说明捐赠前咨询专业机构的重要性。
今日一问
下次捐款前，你愿意多花十分钟问问专业机构的需求吗？
