The World-Wide Missionary Awakening

To Daniel the prophet the word came: “Shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.” And with the coming of the time of the end has come the world-wide awakening, diffusing the knowledge of the Lord. Dr. Leonard, in “A Hundred Years of Missions,” says:—
