because the general conditions in
human society were never so fav.
orable for a vigorous presentation
Of the Gospel truths as today. The
newspapers, magazines and the
radio of late have given to the
general public many religious sen-
timents, fanciful theories and high
sounding philosophers; so that to-
day religion is a common topic Of
discussion. The fact that a great
majority of these religious views
are but man-made theories makes
it the more necessary to spread
the Gospel truths.
Much has already been done in
this respect. The patient efforts
of many groups of men over the
world has resulted in the transla-
ton of the entire Bible into 172
languages and sections of it into
734 additional tongues total of
906. A display of Gospels in diff
ferent languages and dialects is
shown in a window of Schafer's
meat market. The work of spread
ing the Gospel truths by the Mis-
souri, Synod has been in progress
since it's organization in Chicago
in 1847, with the result that at the
present time it has missionaries
throughout the world.
