Book Description

Excerpt from The Mission Field: A Monthly Record of the Proceedings of the Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts The New Year should always be a time of new beginnings and renewed resolutions. Let it be such this year in regard of neglected evangelistic responsibilities. Speak unto the children of Israel that they go forward, is once again the Great Captain's bidding to His Church. The Society for the Propagation of the Gospel stands ready to obey the command; her Missionaries to lead the way, to bear the brunt of the conflict. But how far she can do so depends upon the willingness of the Church at large; that is, upon the readiness of individual members of the Church to help on, each in his own way, the great advance. New fields are opening on every side - mention of several will be found in the accompanying pages, - shal] they be unoccupied? Voices are asking, wherever British civilisation has penetrated, Where is He Who is born the world's true King and Saviour? Shall we leave these seekers to the blind instincts of their own hearts, to the dim teachings of nature? Shall we not point them to Bethlehem, to Calvary, to the Jerusalem above? Let us all do more, at least by prayers and gifts, to possess the earth for Jesus lest, with the experience of so much mercy, we be found ungrateful, unprofit able servants, when all our years of opportunity are ended.
