Excerpt from Good News for Russia: A Series of Addresses Delivered at the First General Conference for the Evangelization of Russia This volume presents to the reader a remarkable series of addresses bearing upon one of the most important themes engaging the attention of thoughtful Christian men of our day. A great interdenominational and international conference; in the call for which more than a hundred evangelical leaders, representing all branches of Protestant Christianity, united; was in session at the Moody Tabernacle, Chicago, from June 24th to June 28th, 1918. The theme, "For the Evangelization of Russia," was in itself an appeal both timely and popular. Over the conference platform was displayed conspicuously, "Let Us Stand By Russia In This Heb Hour Of Need," the ringing message of our great American President, Woodrow Wilson. The conference program was arranged to be at once informing and inspiring, - to inform the people regarding a great subject, and to inspire them for the accomplishment of a great task. These addresses by representatives of four great nations, two on either side the Atlantic, are given for the most part as they were stenographically reported. While each speaker was free in the presentation of his subject and there was no effort to harmonize or unify the messages, still there were three matters about which all seemed in perfect accord. These were: (1) the greatness of the present opportunity in Russia, with its doors open and its hundred eighty-two million people waiting for the Gospel; (2) the necessity of taking up the work at once, or the danger of delay; and (3) the desirability, so far as possible, of conducting the work in Russia upon such a broad evangelical basis as not unduly to exhibit to the new Russia the denominational differences which have existed in our evangelical work in America. It is hoped that these messages, some of which were listened to by thousands when originally delivered, will in printed form reach other thousands, and thus that those interested in the evangelizaton of Russia will soon be numbered by the hundreds of thousands and millions throughout Christendom.
