FOREWORD
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 Her 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.
