ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE ON FOREIGN MISSIONS.
By Editor
New York, April 21 to May 1, 1900. This will be the largest missionary conference ever held. For ten days over 2,000 delegates from all mission fields will consider the great problems of missionary work, reviewing the past and gaining encouragement and counsel for the future. What is said there will be of interest to every one whose heart is in the great cause of foreign missions, whether as a worker in the field, or as a supporter, counselor, and sympathizer at home. It is inevitable that the number of those attending the conference should be very limited, and of those who come no one can be present at the sixty and more meetings that will crowd the ten days. That the need of all may be met and that the substantial value of the conference may be preserved for future consideration, the Executive Committee have decided to publish a report under the title: Ecumenical Missionary Conference.
This report will be published in two volumes, handsomely printed and bound. The material will be carefully prepared and edited, so as to exclude nothing essential, and include nothing non-essential, and will be in three parts:— I. The Story of the Conference, Its Origin, Conduct, and Personnel.
II. Contributions of the Conference, Papers, Addresses, and Discussions.
III. Appendix, including (1) a list of Foreign Missionary Societies, with official addresses; (2) the Organization and Roll of the Conference; (3) a Summary of Missionary Statistics; (4) a Selected Bibliography; and (5) an Index. This report should be in the hands of every pastor and every missionary worker, and in the library of every church, Sunday-school, and Christian Endeavor Society. It will cast a flood of light on the problem of missions, and it will bear testimony to the power of the Gospel to uplift fallen humanity and establish Christian society. That the volumes may be within the reach of all, the retail price has been fixed at $2.50. Persons subscribing before May 1 will, however, receive them for $2.00.
