The Call to Reach the World
THE following words from James L. Barton, secretary of the American Board of Foreign Missions, express the spirit that is filling the minds of those upon whom God has laid the burden of his work in this closing hour of time:— There has never been a time when the voice of God was more clearly understood as he points his followers to the ends of the earth, and bids them go in the name of the Master and make Christ known to all. Never has he spoken more clearly, demanding that we sacrifice that which we hold dearest and best, in the name of him who kept nothing back, in order that a world might be redeemed. A generation of obedience upon the part of those who profess allegiance to our crucified Lord would carry the gospel of salvation to the remotest corners of the earth, and give every race and kindred and tongue and people an opportunity personally to know him whom to know aright is life eternal.
