interest of things to come in the new century, rather than a mere climax to
our first century of organized work.
4. We would further urge the organized forces of all our cooperating states
to maintain an organization which will give perennial attention to the work of
Evangelism. We would encourage the growing of departments of evangelism
wherever practical, in all the States, and as full correlation and cooperation as
possible between these State Convention departments and the department of
evangelism of the Home Mission Board, and/or its other missionary departments.
5. We would send forth the challenge to all our constituency to pray earnestly
for revival fires among us, in congested City areas, in rural areas,
everywhere throughout our territory, where Christ does not reign in all the
relationships of men. Let us pray for, plan for, and expect the tides of Evangelism
to rise on and upward, until His Name shall be made known to every
lost soul within our Convention bounds.
