Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from North American Students and World Advance: Addresses Delivered at the Eighth International Convention of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions, Des Moines, Iowa, December 31, 1919 to January 4, 1920 It is significant that the largest and most representative Convention of the series held by the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions should be the first one after the World War. Of the six thousand eight hundred ninety delegates present, six thousand were professors and students representing nine hundred forty-nine intsitutions of higher learning in Canada and the United States Of this number four hundred were foreign students representing thirty-nine countries. There were present also Mission Board Secretaries and returned missionaries of all the leading Protestant religious bodies in North America. The purpose of these gatherings is to bring together once in each student generation of four years carefully chosen delegation from the leading educational institutions of Canada and the States, to meet those who direct the Foreign Missionary enterprise at home and abroad. But for the war this Convention would have been held two years ago, as six years have elapsed since the Kansas City Convention. Three and a half weeks before the Convention began all Iowa was on coal rations; business houses in Des Moines were closed or were running on short hours; and the railroad service was largely crippled. The Fuel Administration in Des Moines telegraphed that unless conditions improved greatly, the Convention could not be held. On receiving this word letters were sent to all delegation leaders to enlist prayer for the meeting of this problem over which we had no control, but which God could control. Prayer was asked for the speedy cessation of the coal shortage, not only for the sake of the thousands of students involved, but also for the millions of others who were suffering from the lack of coal and the consequent industrial unrest. We have reason to believe that the requests for prayer were widely honored. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
