Excerpt from Questions and Phases of Modern Missions It has been one of the mistakes of the Church that she has not sufficiently counted upon the action and cooperation of a present and abiding Provi dence. Supernatural forces are freely recognized in the past, but current history is assigned to nat ural causes. The written Gospel of the First Cen tury is indeed the wisdom of God and the power of God unto salvation, but that is not all of the divine resources. We have the deposit of truth and in spiration given nineteen centuries ago, but we have also a living Savior, and an overruling Spirit whose superintendence directs human progress along all lines.
