Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from National Perils and Opportunities Early in October, 1887, the following call was issued, signed by officers of the Evangelical Alliance for the United States, together with those of the Washington Branch, and some seventy eminent clergymen and laymen, representing different evangelical denominations and various sections of the country. Call For The Washington Conference. To The Christian Public. Thoughtful men are convinced that the closing years of the nineteenth century constitute a momentous crisis in the history of the nation. There is a march of events which will not tarry. The necessity of planting Christian institutions in the formative West, and of strengthening them in older-states, the duty of overtaking the rapid growth of our cities with adequate church provision, the importance of closing the widening chasm between the church and the multitude, and of bringing the regenerative power of the gospel to bear upon every character and life, demand the instant attention of the Christian church and the full exercise of all its energies. Popular education has multiplied wants and created tastes which wealth has not been sufficiently distributed to gratify; hence a growing discontent among workingmen, which in prosperous times is an ill omen, suggesting grave questions concerning the next financial panic and the consequent industrial depression.
