没有散發出去的福傳印刷品就像隱藏的燈,或是沒有孩子的家庭。燈如果被藏起來就不能發光,同樣,如果好的印刷品閒置在倉庫,就不能照亮人靈。(AE, 386)
The press apostolate without the diffusion may be likened to hiding a lamp under a bushel, to a family without children. Just as a lamp, if it is hidden, does not give light, so the good press, if it remains hidden in warehouses, cannot give light to people (AE, 386).
