The Call to This Generation

THERE are some men whose souls are stirred with a sense of the responsibility resting upon the people of this generation, and they are seeking to arouse all professed Christians to earnest action in proclaiming the gospel to the world. Mr. John R. Mott is well known for his zealous efforts in behalf of “the evangelization of the world in this generation.” In a recent address at the Men’s Missionary Convention in Philadelphia he said:—

God help us to work, and so to plan, not as though we had two or more generations in which to do the work, but as though we had but one; or, it may be, but part of one.

This appeal ought to quicken the blood of every one who believes that this is the last generation, the last opportunity for carrying the gospel to the unsaved. May the Holy Spirit, whose power alone is sufficient for the work, lay hold upon hearts, and may more abundant offerings testify to the rising temperature of missionary feeling, until an army of witnesses shall be found in every land to be the voice saying, “Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come.” This message must be given, will be given. Let no one miss his opportunity.
