Our Supreme Opportunity

Of the grand opportunity in missionary evangelization before this generation, J. Campbell White speaks thus optimistically:—

“The fair share of the United States in the solution of the missionary problem, is to provide for the evangelization of about 560,000,000 people in the non-Christian world. This will require the quadrupling of our present force of missionaries, and a corresponding increase in contributions from approximately $11,000,000 last year to about $45,000,000 annually. As we spend over $300,000,000 annually for religious purposes in our own country, one sixth of this amount to reach a population equal to six times that of the United States is surely a conservative estimate of our financial responsibility. I believe that the churches of the United States are going to accept this task and perform it.”
