Report Of The Ecumenical Conference On Foreign Missions PDF Download

Excerpt from Ecumenical Missionary Conference, New York, 1900, Vol. 1 of 2: Report of the Ecumenical Conference on Foreign Missions, Held in Carnegie Hall and Neighboring Churches, April 21 to May 1 The form in which the Report of the Ecumenical Conference on Foreign Missions is presented requires a few words Of explanation. The body of the report is made Up from papers and addresses pre sented at more than seventy sessions of the Conference. Frequently these addresses were made upon the same topic in different places. To publish the formal record Of each meeting within the limits of a salable book was manifestly impossible, SO a topical arrangement Of the material was decided upon. This arrangement, too, gives a bet ter correlation of the utterances Of the Conference on each general question discussed. The controlling thought in the selection and arrangement Of the material was, to give a true conception Of the Conference, to increase the motive power of the Church, to enlarge its vision Of the great world field, and to promote the development of a science of missions.
