Protestant Laynnen to Conduct Cam

Protestant Layn4en to Conduct Cam
paign Against Heathenism.
For the first time in the history of
the world Protestant churches repre-
senting every denomination will meet
on common ground to wage the great
est propaganda for Christianity the
world has ever known.
The inspirat ton and backbone of this
colossal undertaking is the Laymen's
Missionary movement, with offices in
New York city The strength, like the
general interest given to this interna
tional movement, is voiced in the long
list of names of men high in the world
Of finance, as well as those known in
the professional and various lines of
successful business life. Men whose
names are identified with some of the
greatest fortunes of the United States
are actively interested in this move
ment to Christianize the world
The keynote of the movement is
based on the belief that If the success
full business men of the United States
were to apply their time. their business
ability and their professional expert
enee to a movement to eYangelize the
world the purpose Of this mission could
be accomplished. So for the first time
in history the twentieth century will
witness the spectacle of this great COM
bination of power with the added
strength of the allied churches array
ing itself against the heather world.
The figures that deal with this pro-
posed movement are something that
even the lay mind will stop a bit to
ponder. To begin with. the Laymen's
Missionary movement proposes to
evangelize the world within this gen
Grafton. That this will be no small
undertaking one need only observe
these figures, furnished by the Lay
mems Missionary movement.

1,50o,e00,0o0 only 5o0.000,O00, or one
third, are Christians Now, to fulfil
the VOW taken by the movement will

figured that it will require about S55-

next thirty-flve years to evangelize the

Can this be done? The Laymen's
Missionary movement says that it can.
and on May they will open their first
national congress in Chicago to discuss
plans for carrying on this worldwide
campaign against heathenism. About
