Provincialism will never die out save in the oresence of the ideal of world fraternity. A narrow nationalism must be, supplanted by a patriotism that is just as good for the other nation as for its own. Ideals of righteousness and world brotherhood must dominate the rising generation before they can dominate the nation. It is the Church of God that alone is commissioned and empowered to interpret Christ’s teaching in terms of the whole world family. Through long centuries Christian Missions have saved Christian people from localism and trained them in world thinking. The mission conception is the loftiest kind of internationalism and the future harmpny of the world depends upon its faithful propagation. The Gospel of Jesus carries in it the final meaning of man's life and His spirit is the high conscience of the world.en-USNo known copyright restrictions.http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NKC/1.0/Missionary intelligenceThesis/Dissertation
