INTRODUCTION:
Believing that one of the most fundamental problems of our
time is the problem of international relations, we maintain
that the development of missionary intelligence in the churches of America is an important step in the direction of its solution. Provincialism will never die out save in the oresence of the ideal of world fraternity. A narrow nationalism must be,
supplanted by a patriotism that is just as good for the other
nation as for its own. Ideals of righteousness and world brotherhood must dominate the rising generation before they can dominate
the nation.
It is the Church of God that alone is commissioned and empowered to interpret Christ’s teaching in terms of the whole
world family. Through long centuries Christian Missions have
saved Christian people from localism and trained them in world
thinking. The mission conception is the loftiest kind of internationalism and the future harmpny of the world depends upon
its faithful propagation. The Gospel of Jesus carries in it the
final meaning of man's life and His spirit is the high conscience
of the world.
