Missions in Russia

"ACROSS the whole of Northern Asia great Siberia spreads. With his back against the Arctic Circle, impregnable from behind, the Russian bear reaches out southward. His railroad grows steadily, and his destiny as steadily expands. It can not be that God is permitting the mighty growth of Russia in Asia only for evil. Surely God's purpose is to bring out of the expansion of the Slav a new enlargement of His church. But missions have not found their place yet under the double eagles of the czar." So says a correspondent of the Sunday School Times.
But God can work effectually in the worst countries without great missionary establishments, when He has men who have a mind to work. This was demonstrated by the apostles, and is being illustrated to-day by some of our brethren even in Russia.
