Excerpt from The Miracles of Missions: Modern Marvels in the History of Missionary Enterprise Open to conviction, can long resist this evidence. The history of missions not only reveals mira cles - it is itself a miracle. It is at once a demonstration and an illustration that, high above and far behind all human actors on the stage is a divine Director and Controller, who shifts the changing scenery to suit every new act in the drama of the ages, and changes both the positions and the persons of the actors.
