Religion: At East Northfield

Two capable, trustworthy reporters— John R. Mott and Sherwood Eddy— traveled through many a country last year, and last week reported their interpretations of world religious conditions to the General Conference of Christian Workers at East Northfield, Mass. Since the late great Dwight Lyman Moody began these conferences just 50 years ago the Christian fellowship evinced has never seemed more amiable. About 5,000 workers attended.

Said Dr. Mott: “In all my travels to many distant lands I have never before witnessed a time when there was such a rising tide of spiritual awakening. Never before have the doors of every continent opened so widely for the penetrating influence of Christ.”

Said Dr. Eddy: “Especially in Russia, Turkey and India, of the 17 countries I visited this year I found a challenge to religion.”
