Excerpt from The Present World Situation: With Special Reference to the Demands, Made Upon the Christian Church in Relation to Non-Christian Lands

The object of this book is to show that the present world situation - a situation unprecedented in opportunity, in danger and in urgency - demands from the forces of pure Christianity the development and exercise of statesmanship, the Christianization of the impact of our Western civilization on the non-Christian world, a closer and more practical co-operation and unity among Christians in their missionary tasks, and a far larger emphasis on the spiritual side of the stupendous undertaking of making Christ and His truth known and obeyed among all men.

Before the War broke out the book was written just as it now appears. That great catastrophe, however, lends a peculiar timeliness and meaning to the treatment of the subject. What a demonstration the War has furnished of the contention that the present is a time of unprecedented danger.
