is the best missions number of any journal ever published.
“The Open Doors Before God’s People,” by Arthur T. Pierson, D.D., editor Missionary Review of the World, is worth the price of the number.
But there are several other articles just as good; for instance, “The Evangelization of the World in This Generation,” “The Divine Program of Missions,” “A Century of Missions,” are thrilling papers on the great theme.
There are thirty-two portraits of great pioneer and devoted missionaries—from John Eliot, apostle to the Indians, to Mary Reed, missionary to the lepers, now living—with brief biographical notes. Missionary libraries have been ransacked, and America and England have been drawn on to obtain them. Who that is interested in humanity would not purchase a copy containing them? They can be obtained in no other publication, book, paper, or magazine.
How much does “Christian” America pay for foreign missions? It is such a little sum. How much does she pay for intoxicating liquors, tobacco, patent medicines, and many other hurtful, foolish, and useless things? This is told in our missions number in a wonderfully striking way.
How much do the great denominations pay per member?
Then there are many other things too numerous to mention. For the sake of Christ and the souls for whom He died, give the paper a wide circulation.
Remember this number will be followed by a Bible-reading Series for six months.
