The Laymcns Missionary movement is
the most significant movement in mis-
sions since the days of the great Apostle.
It's potenrIalty rs probably greater than
that OF any other which has had its
origin in Christianity and the effort OF
evangclistic churches to carry the sos-

consists in its providentIsl origin. its
leadership. the scope OF its work and In
its nterdcnominationa! character. It's
poteutialty lies in the undevelopod re
