The Call of the World; or, Every Man's Supreme Opportunity

A clear, concise guide for men seeking to understand and support the worldwide spread of Christianity, this work tackles the four questions that most often arise in discussions of global missions: progress, remaining work, America’s share of responsibility, and practical ways to get involved. Drawing on recent missionary reports, statistical surveys, and the insights of leading evangelists, it equips listeners with the facts and arguments needed for effective advocacy in Bible study groups, church committees, or personal reflection.

The author frames the missionary enterprise as a “big, human, related” cause, illustrating how modern transportation, telegraphy and emerging media have turned the world into an increasingly accessible field for the gospel. By presenting concrete evidence of favorable conditions, expanding agencies, and signs of growing victory, the book invites men to see missionary work as a practical, enduring venture—one that can shape the purpose of their lives and offer a meaningful way to answer the call of the world.
