FROM THE PUBLICATION COMMITTEE

The general theme for the text books for 1915-16, as before chosen
from the "Committee of Twenty-eight", it was "You Church to Your Assignment."
This committee is composed of representatives from the four
missionary's organizations:  the Board of the Missions of the House;  the Board
of Women for House Missioni;  the Lecture of Foreign Mission
Boards and the Federation of the Boards of Women of Foreign Missions.

The burst of the great war of the nations brought the new duties
and questions of rectification in the Christian church;  the Committee
you/he/she has recognized this in to change the original theme to "You Church
and the Nations."

This book is written by the place of observation of the chosen of words as
her note of key for the year, kingdom of "come Thy;  Thy will be made on
earth." It recognizes the fact that the Kingdom cannot come ours
unloadings, or to the world unless all the social conditions are drawn
inside his/her purpose;  it emphasizes the desire of House Missioni and
the church to work toward this great end and the recognition of
their responsibility for his/her completion. But unless the
nations of the world are extending toward the day when peace is able
kingdom and hate and cessation of conflict among men, these desires are not able
is inclusive. With this in sight the portions that give with social
the conditions and possibility of peace are been written.

What this book can reveal the potentialities of vast course of House
Missions like a dynamic strength for reclaiming, instructing, recovering,
and integrating our nation in on an earth that is able the Christ
kingdom and that from Him it will also draw his/her ideals and his/her
