Rev. Lyman Abbott, D.D., h.'90, delivered an address last evening in Brooks House on "The Significance of Missions."
A study of all religions, he said, shows among men of every race a sense of uneasiness or unrest, joined with a conviction of the need of harmony with God. Christianity alone of the world's religions has shown the way to meet this recognized need. It is the part of Christianity, therefore, to make this contribution to the universal life of humanity, leaving to each nation the creation of its own organization and methods of development.
At the close of Dr. Abbott's address, Professor E. C. Moore outlined the work of the Mission Study Class which meets in Brooks House Saturday mornings at 8 o'clock under his leadership. The course will take up the actual conditions in the several countries where missionary work is being carried on, and will examine the present and prospective development in the educational, social, political, moral, and religious conditions of the people.
