India, Siam, Burma, China, Japan, Turkey,
Africa, Mexico, South America, the Papal States, and Korea were
successively and successfully entered. Within five years, from
1853 to 1858, new facilities were given to the entrance and
occupation of seven different countries, together embracing
half the world's population."--_"Modern Mission Century," p.

God's providence has laid under tribute every force and every resource
for the opening of all lands--missionary endeavor, love of adventure,
commercial enterprise, and scientific interest. Railways have been built
through regions that were undiscovered seventy years ago, and among the
passengers traveling now over the iron trail are men and women of tribes
unknown fifty years ago. But the gospel message was to go to every
tribe and tongue before the end; and wonderfully Providence has been
opening the doors throughout all this "time of the end," and
particularly in our generation.

The prophecy represents not only a world-wide work, but a quick work in
proclaiming the gospel message in the last days.
