The missionaries of the United Presbyterian Church in Egypt and India have recently made appeals “for one ordained missionary and one unmarried lady missionary for every fifty thousand within the bounds of these mission fields. The call is for one hundred and eighty new missionaries for India and two hundred and eighty for Egypt.” The basis of this appeal is set forth in the following resolution:— That we believe it to be the duty of the church to secure the evangelization of this field within the period of a single generation—that is, so to bring the essential principles of the gospel to the attention of all classes in that time that no one of mature understanding could say that he was not acquainted with the way of everlasting life. Other mission workers have given much study to this same problem, and have reached the conclusion that it is the duty of Christians to give the gospel to the whole heathen world in this generation. They have gone into the matter in detail, and have shown that it is possible to do this, if professed believers will do what it is within their power to do. The claim is not put forward that the world can be converted in this generation, but that it can be evangelized in a single generation. This means that the gospel could be preached “in the whole world for a testimony unto all the nations” during the present generation, and an urgent call is being made for volunteers to undertake this work. Viewing this movement from the standpoint of our belief that this third angel’s message must go to “every nation and tribe and tongue and people,” and that our Lord must come in a very short time, there is to us much significance in the fact that other Christian workers have undertaken the task of carrying the gospel to the dark parts of the world in this generation. We have no doubt that this effort will prepare the way for the final message, and that we shall enter into their labors. The Lord can use all agencies, and employ all means to his glory in the furtherance of his work, and those who live up to the light of truth as fast as it comes to them will all unite as one body of believers and workers in this message before it closes. This will be the outcome of the various plans and efforts to evangelize the world in this generation. With the Bible translated into every known language and scattered over the face of the earth, and with the minds of a goodly number of men stirred over the problem of evangelizing the world in this generation, everything is in readiness for a quick work in preparing the way for our Saviour’s return. It remains for us to do with zeal and faithfulness the part which in the providence of God has been committed to us. The Lord’s word will not fail. His purposes will be accomplished. The work will be finished in this generation.
