爱德华·博克《爱德华·博克自传》· The Americanization of Edward Bok · 领导
He had, in short, seen the Y. M. C. A. function from every angle, but he had also seen the work of the other organizations in England and France, back of the lines and in the trenches. He found them all faulty--necessarily so. Each had endeavored to create an organization within an incredibly short space of time and in the face of adverse circumstances. Bok saw at once that the charge that the Y. M. C. A. was "falling down" in its work was as false as that the Salvation Army was doing "a marvellous work" and that the K. of C. was "efficient where others were incompetent," and that the Y. W. C. A. was "nowhere to be seen."

白话
博克从各个角度观察了基督教青年会的工作，也看到了其他组织在英国和法国的运作，包括后方和战壕。他发现所有组织都有缺陷，这是难免的，因为每个组织都是在极短时间内、面对不利条件建立起来的。他立刻看出，指责基督教青年会“掉链子”是假的，同样，说救世军“干得漂亮”、天主教骑士会“高效”、女青年会“不见踪影”也都是片面的。这提醒我们，评价一个组织不能轻信传言或简单标签，要看到它们共同的困难和各自的局限。
上下文
博克在实地考察后，对当时舆论中关于各救援组织的褒贬不一做出判断。
