Book Description

Excerpt from Foreign Missions In the deepest sense there are no Foreign Missions, for it is work at all times among children of God in the one human family, of one blood, by the one Church.

No sermon or speech on missions should omit a heartfelt reference to the command of the Lord to us to win the world for Him as His fellow-workers. This book therefore must devote the first chapter to that subject. Whatever else may be our duty this command runs parallel with them all, as a necessary part of every Christian's privilege and duty. And yet it is one of the well-known defects of settled Christianity that those who owe to Christ all they hold most dear, are apt to forget His commission and see no reason why they should share with all others the love and mercy and knowledge of God.
