Excerpt from The Decisive Hour of Christian Missions The World Missionary Conference held in Edinburgh in June of the present year constituted in its plan, in its personnel, in the Spirit which characterized it, and in its promise, the most Significant gathering ever held in the interest of the world's evangelization. In preparation for the Conference eight representative international Commissions had been at work for over eighteen months making a scientific investigation and study of some of the most pressing and vital problems Of Christian missions. Associated With these Commis Sions as correspondents were the principal missionaries and leaders of the Church on the mission fields, as well as many of the foremost thinkers and workers of the missionary forces at home. The reports re sulting from these special investigations have afforded a very comprehensive presentation of the Tacts about the main aspects of the missionary situation. Those who have had opportunity to examine the mass of evidence gathered by the Commissions and to listen to the discussions of the reports at the Edinburgh Con ference must have been impressed with the fact that the present is the decisive hour of Christian missions. In the history Of Christianity there has never been such'a remarkable conjunction of Opportunities and crises on all the principal mission fields and of favor ing circumstances and possibilities on the home field.

Excerpt from The Decisive Hour: Is It Lost? Japan, which is taking part in the war as one of the Great Powers, has gained its position with such astonishing rapidity that its present Prime Minister has witnessed the transformation from the beginning, and played a leading part in bringing it about. Three years ago the establish ment of a Republic in China revealed to the world what revolutionary forces were seething in that ancient and populous nation. There are many proofs that in both Japan and China leading men are aware that the roots of national greatness lie not in material progress but in the character of the people, and that they are deeply concerned to find a spiritual basis for the new national life. What faith and what ideals will mould the thought and engage the affections of the peoples of the Far East The new order that is steadily and surely taking shape must rest on some body of beliefs. Can the traditional religions provide the needful foundation If they prove insufficient, shall we witness the growth of powerful civil izations based on a hard and soulless materialism? Or shall the east know in its growth, as the west has known, the Vitalizing, renewing, sanctifying influence of Christ? The march of history has seldom given rise to questions of greater moment for the human race. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from History of Christian Missions The story of missions, which reaches back to the beginning of the Christian era, and embraces almost every country in the world, cannot be told within the limits of a single volume. The task which I have ventured to undertake is of a far less ambitious character, my object being to provide the intelligent reader with an outline sketch of Christian missions which may enable him to obtain a correct perspective, but which will need to be filled in for each several country and period of history by much careful study. This volume is not intended to serve as a dictionary nor as a commentary upon missions, but as a text-book to encourage and facilitate their study. Those who have devoted the largest amount of time to such study will be most ready to forgive its imperfections and shortcomings. A well-known authority on the subject of Foreign Missions, to whom the task of writing this book was originally assigned, but who failed to respond to the invitation, wrote to its present author, "You have an almost impossible task; I should absolutely quail at the work you are doing." It would have been comparatively easy to fill the space allotted to me by the publisher with a discussion of the principles which have governed the activities of Christian missionaries, and it would have been still less difficult to compile a volume of statistics which would have shown, more or less accurately, the progress that has been made in bringing about the conversion of non-Christian lands, but in neither case would the object with which this volume was planned have been fulfilled.

Excerpt from Christian Missions, Vol. 1: Their Agents, Their Method, and Their Results This policy, once adopted by England and Hol land in their Asiatic possessions, but long since aban doned by both, is now peculiar to Russia among all the nations of the earth. No similar reproach can be urged, even by those who esteem them least, against the protestant churches of England and America. They have done, during the last fifty years, and are still doing, all which their zeal suggests and their caution permits, to recommend to the heathen world the religious systems which they severally profess. How far they have succeeded in this aim, and by what methods they have sought to promote it, will sufficiently appear in the following pages.

Excerpt from The Romance of Missions N O sphere of human endeavour has furnished scope for nobler heroism than that Of Christian missions. N 0 work is more instinct with the Spirit of our holy religion than mission work. NO theme brings us more closely in contact with the noble army of martyrs and confessors for Jesus. Through the ages and in many lands they bore testimony to the truth, Often sealing it with their blood. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
