What does it Mean!

By Dudley Marvin Canright

In the programme of the week of prayer for all the evangelical churches in the world, to be held the first week in 1871, I find the following: “Saturday, Jan. 7. Prayer for Christian missions for the conversion of the world, and for the glorious appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
If the first petition is granted, and the world is converted, then of course will come that glorious time of 1000 years millennium. How, then, can they at the same time expect the Lord to come? Or is not the conversion of the world the only coming of Christ that they now look for? We fear that it is. If not, the thing is mixed.
