Présentation de l'éditeur

Most of the Christians in America will serve i. The God and die at home. Our restlessness causes us Problems to travel freely and often in our own country. Wherever we go in it we iind the Church of Christ at work. Just how it came to our shores and reached its present development and what part each of the great denominations has played in the conquest of the land are matters of the deepest interest to all intelligent persons. On every side problems press for solution. The frontier line is to be extended further into the wilderness, and civilization must be established on the happy hunting grounds of savages. Into oux favored land there is pouring an ever increasing stream of foreigners of different languages and customs, all seeking to improve their condition. Scattered throughout the vast region which we call the South are millions of Negroes whose condition and prospects constitute a grave question. In our cities, great and small, dense masses of people are crowded in poverty, ignorance, and sin. In the Appalachian Mountains there are thousands of our brothers living in isolation without the opportunities to which they are entitled as free citizens. In many regions the country churches have been weakened by the removal of their members until their very existence is threatened.
