In a Century

The Missionary Review has this to say of the last wonderful century:—

Think over the mighty changes that have been brought about within the last hundred years. China was one dense mass of heathenism. Africa only a geographical name. India, Tartary, and the isles of the sea were in darkness that might be felt, yet the church was sleeping as undisturbedly as though she had nothing to do with the other side of the globe, or even with those who were in darkness nearer home. How different it is to-day! There is hardly a land on all the circle of the globe that has not been entered by the heralds of the cross. Even in Central Africa, where, fifty years ago, the name of Christ had not been heard, they are now singing praises to him beside the quiet waters of Victoria Nyanza, and along the banks of the mighty Kongo.

It is the making up of the highway for the coming of the King in power and glory.
