When these Benevolent Trusts come into active being, such organizations on broad lines will be sure to attract the brains of the best men we have in our commercial affairs, as great business opportunities attract them now. Our successful business men as a class, and the exceptions only prove the truth of the assertion, have a high standard of honour. I have sometimes been tempted to say that our clergymen could gain by knowing the essentials of business life better. The closer association with men of affairs would, I think, benefit both classes. People who have had much to do with ministers and those who hold confidential positions in our churches have at times had surprising experiences in meeting what is sometimes practised in the way of ecclesiastical business, because these good men have had so little of business training in the work-a-day world.

白话
洛克菲勒相信,慈善信托一旦运作起来,会像商业机会一样吸引最优秀的商业人才。他说成功的商人整体上道德水准很高,例外只是少数。他还半开玩笑地说,牧师若多懂点商业常识会更好,因为教会里有时出现令人惊讶的财务做法,原因就是这些好人缺乏实际商业训练。
上下文
洛克菲勒在回忆录中为商人辩护,认为商业训练对教会管理也有益。
