Another Missionary Congress

By L. L. C.

MANY evidences indicate a world-wide interest in the missionary movement. The Bible has said that the gospel is to go to the whole world for a witness before the end comes. A great revival in interest in missionary work is an indication that this prophecy is about to be fulfilled. We have all noticed the many interdenominational organizations which are forwarding missionary work. One of the most recent is the Laymen's Missionary Movement, whose object is to enable laymen to apply to the missionary movement the same business sagacity which they use in their commercial enterprises.

The second national congress of this movement was held at Washington, D. C., April 26-30, at which time a program was determined for the next ten years. It is planned to increase the interest in missions on the part of business men and the general laity, and to greatly increase the donations to foreign missions. This congress will doubtless prove a new step in mission history. Let it be a challenge to us, as we see God moving upon others to open the way before us, to carry the final message quickly to the whole world. L. L. C.
