Effect of this method upon the churches of our denomination to destroy all reason for their existence 191 Effect of this method upon missions to supersede evangelism by education and to lose all dynamic both abroad and at home 193 This method was "made in Germany," and must be opposed as we oppose arbitrary force in government 195 The remedy is a spiritual coming of Christ in the hearts of his people 197 XVII. THE THEOLOGY OF MISSIONS 199-212 Is man's religious nature only a capacity for religion? 201 The will is never passive, the candle is always burning 201 Moslem and Hindu alike show both good and bad elements in their worship 201 Here and there are seekers after God, and such are saved through Christ, though they have not yet heard his name 202 First chapter of Romans gives us the best philosophy of heathenism 203 Heathenism, the result of an abnormal and downward evolution 204 The eternal Christ conducts an evolution of the wheat, side by side with Satan's evolution of the tares 204 All the good in heathen systems is the work of Christ, and we may utilize their grains of truth 205 Illustrated in Hindu incarnations and Moslem faith in God's unity and personality 205 Christ alone is our Peace, and he alone can unite the warring elements of humanity 206 A moral as well as a doctrinal theology is needed in heathendom 208 But external reforms without regeneration can never bring in the kingdom of God 209 The history of missions proves that heart must precede intellect, motive must accompany example 210 The love of Christ who died for us is the only constraining power 210 Only his deity and atonement furnish the dynamic of missions 211 XVIII.
