Mr. Lynch has amply proved his case, which is to present the opportunities afforded by the modern ministry. Men who want to make the most of their lives must consider the claims in the various branches of religious work. The immense need for leadership in education, in scholarship, in social adjust ment, in missionary enterprise, which (mr. Lynch establishes, itself constitutes a call to some men. Phillips Brooks shortly before his death said that the next twenty years would offer greater Opportunity for the Chris tian minister than any other like period in history. I think this little book proves the contention, presenting some of the needs of our time that must be met if we are to make true progress. Some of the finer spirits who read it will surely learn from it a nobler con ception of personal duty.
There are movements of our time which show the essentially religious character of the age, such as the movement towards church unity, the great missionary movement, the international peace movement, which are all Christian in spirit and motive. The whole community also is being pervaded with a new sense of social duty. Nowhere in the world are these and similar movements more living and more wide-spread than in America. No where also are there arrayed greater forces of antagonism and keener problems for our Christian civilization. The largest need of to-day is a supply of men who will grasp the new opportunities of the ministry as a sphere of work and will lead the Church in her ever-widening service. The various types of that service are well brought out in this book, and the urgency of the need is empha sized. We want men who are prepared to undertake some heroic tasks, men of insight and of outlook, of courage and of consecra tion. The broad and forceful appeal of this book will surely not miss its mark.
