Excerpt from The Unfinished Task of the Christian Church: Introductory Studies in the Problem of the World's Evangelization

This is one of the series of text-books published by the Student Volunteer Movement for the use of voluntary mission study classes in the institutions of higher learning in the United States and Canada. It grew out of the Author's experience as the leader of mission study classes at the Northfield Student Conference in 1905 and 1906. While not intended to be an exhaustive study of the problem of the world's evangelization, it is admirably fitted for the use of mission study classes.

The "unfinished task" of the Christian Church and the need for men and women qualified to undertake the work is set forth so clearly that any student who is undecided as to his life work ought to be helped in reaching a conclusion by a careful study of the volume.

Dr. Barton was for many years a missionary in Turkey; since 1895 he has been one of the corresponding secretaries of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions. In this capacity he has had an excellent opportunity to observe the work of missions in the principal countries of Asia.
