Excerpt from The Outlook for Christ
It is the belief of the most careful students of world conditions that the present time offers an unprecedented opportunity for Christian Missions. The consolidation of the world through commerce and means of communication, the rapid growth of the world peace movement, the decay of the ethnic religions, and the sudden rising of Japan into the position of a world power are indications of a Wonder-working Providence in our day The conjunction of these events at this particular time indicates a new world condition having an important relation to the progress of the Kingdom. What is the outlook for Christ? We know what it was nineteen hundred years ago. But what is it to-day? This is the greatest question that can be asked; and every intelligent Christian should be ready to answer it. That our readers may know the facts from fresh and reliable sources, I have asked five experts among us to describe the religious outlook in five different parts of the world where the American Board is at work. Please read, ponder, and pass the good word along.
