Book Description
Excerpt from The Social Aspects of Foreign Missions In this book we are to study one phase of the contact between East and West. The most momentous fact of modern times is that the East and the West are coming physically nearer to each other every year, and yet intellectually and spiritually are still separated by a great abyss. The distance between any two points on the earth's surface - measured by the time required to travel that distance - is rapidly diminishing. We live on a shrinking globe, whose surface, measured in time, is not one half as great as it was fifty years ago. We can go from New York to Peking in much less time than our grandfathers needed to go by "prairie schooner" from New York to Chicago. Thirty years ago "Around the World in Eighty Days" was a fairy-tale. Now the journey has been completed in less than thirty-six days. London and Bombay are to-day near neighbors. Vancouver and Yokohama are gazing into each other's eyes. San Francisco and Hongkong are conversing by telegraph, and soon may be communicating by telephone and aerial ships. The Mediterranean through the Suez Canal flows into the Red Sea and the Indian Ocean; the Atlantic and Pacific have mingled their waters in the Panama Canal. All the oceans have become one ocean, and all the world is physically one world. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
