Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Student Missionary Enterprise: Addresses and Discussions of the Second International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions Held at Detroit, Mich, Feb 28 to Mar 4, 1894 Early in the current year an announcement was issued by the Executive Committee of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions that a Second International Convention would be held at Detroit, Michigan, beginning Wednesday night, February 28, and closing Sunday night, March 4, 1894. The purpose was to bring together, as in the memorable Cleveland Convention in 1891, representatives of the missionary organizations in the churches, institutions of learning, and young people´s societies, throughout North America, with prominent missionaries from foreign lands, to consider the great work of speedy and world-wide evangelization, and to afford to student volunteers the advantages of information, counsel, and spiritual stimulus, which such an occasion would be sure to offer. A call for special prayer for the Holy Spirit´s control of the Convention was issued. From scores of missionary stations in many and widely distant fields, as well as from all parts of Christian lands, were received earnest and hearty responses to this call; and the Lord´s gracious answer to petitions which had been offered was very evident as the days of the session succeeded each other. One thousand and eighty-two student delegates, from two hundred and ninety-four institutions of learning in the United States and Canada, were in attendance. Thirty-two States and five Provinces were represented, delegates having come from the north as far as Manitoba and from the south as far as Texas, from the east as far as the Maritime Provinces and from the west as far as California. A larger student body assembled in Detroit than ever assembled on a similar occasion in the world´s history of missionary effort. Among those who were registered were fifty-four official representatives of the foreign missionary boards and societies, sixty-three foreign missionaries from all portions of the globe, besides delegates from young people´s societies, Young Men´s and Young Women´s Christian Associations, college professors, ministers, and evangelists. It is greatly regretted that the entire class of Denominational Conferences has been omitted from this book, owing to the fact that it was impossible to obtain skilled stenographers for the various sessions which were held simultaneously.
