 A Volume With More Than Passing 
 Significance 
 
 , r v\ 
 
 The addresses at Detroit have proved them¬ 
 selves to be of permanent value. They were 
 reports oi fact and experience of men and 
 women who know the present world situa¬ 
 tion as it affects Christian missions. They 
 are packed full of very valuable information 
 and interpretation from many different 
 angles. %' s 
 
 The questions discussed are the livest ques¬ 
 tions of the day, and missions were consid¬ 
 ered in their present-day setting. Each 
 chapter of the Report is followed by discus¬ 
 sion which came out of group meetings of 
 students. These questions may be used for 
 other discussion groups. 
 
 The volume is arranged for easy reading and 
 study. It is an orderly treatment of vital 
 concerns. Each chapter is preceded by a 
 synopsis which presents the problem dis¬ 
 cussed and outlines the discussion. These 
 synopses also give short biographical state¬ 
 ments concerning each speaker whose ad¬ 
 dress is reported.
