Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Christ and the Human Race or the Attitude of Jesus Christ Toward Foreign Races and Religions: Being the William Belden Noble Lectures for 1906

This good result is not probable unless the vision suggested to such minds by the Christian ministry be at least as broad and Winsome as that Offered by other social enterprises of the altruistic age. That it is, in fact, more broad and Winsome than any Of these I believe, and, in these.
