[ Every cent of this vast sum is used to convert non-Christians to Christianity. This great work was lirst started in the close of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth. The conference nowin session is held at the. close of this century as a fitting time and to make way for the great work of the century about to dawn. The One Great 1‘nrpoae. As stated by one of the leaders the one great purpose? of this gathering of workers from all corner*: of the earth is to look back over the century closing, and to survey and prospect the work of the future. The .great problem now is how to get money, and hen how fo get the greatest portion of every dollar given to the non-Christian whom “it is defiled to convert.
