The awakening which has come with
the Laymen's Missionary Movement is
truly remarkable. Four months ago
would not have been willing To prophesy
the remarkable awakenngs which | have
actually witnessed wherever ! have been
affiliated with the Laymen's Missionary
Movement. and yet ! was al that time
expecting great things of this move
ment.
1t seems to me that il comes with
something of the freshness and power
which belonged. in the days Of the Refor-
nation. To the announcement OF for
gotten truth-the doctrine OF Justifca-
tion by Faith. SO. too. now. the pre-,
sentation OF the missionary content OF
the Gospel Of Christ so generally for
gotten by the rank and file OF the church:
and certainly not emphasized by many OF
the leaders In the church seems to come
as n new Gospel 10 many lndividu uals,
and. indeed. TO whole communities.
Yet there is 4 naturaness in tho COM
ing of this movement at this particular
time. America has hitherto been con-
ccrncd with her own life, She has now
come fully to political self consciousness
and has assumed her responsibilities
among the nations as world power. In
the political sphere We are gaining a
world horizon. So. too. Is IT in the COM
mercal sphere. our business interests
cannot be shut up within the limits OF
our own country Our great industries
demand a world field and a world out
let. Is II not natural, therefore, that In
the religious sphere a similar enlarge
ment should come-the enlargement OF
vision. OF sympathy and OF activity?
To the church in America this great
movement means the purifying Of its
spiritual life. the enlargement OF ita
vision. the deepening OF its prayer life.
