What Makes The Printed Page So Potent?

• Literature can be studied in secret, or in the quiet of one's home.
• It can get undivided attention without distraction or fear - in quiet hours.
• It leaps language barriers and race tensions that hamper personal contacts.
• It has permanency ...... it can be read over and over again.
• It goes where the missionary can not go.
• It lives after the spoken words are lost and forgotten.
• The printed page missionary never gets tired. In fact, he ministers day and night.
• This missionary in print always tells the truth, repeating it over and over again.
• Pressures never make this messenger of God compromise.
• It is greatly appreciated by the nationals of any country.
• The Gospel message in their own language eliminates personal prejudices.
• It goes easily through closed doors and remains even if the missionary should leave the country.
• It is immune to all disease.
• It easily works in one hundred thousand places at one time.
• All Christians and missionaries can use this tool of evangelism. It is just as effective in the hands of the babe in Christ as that of the trained worker.

Quotes From Men Of Knowledge In Evangelism.

Oswald J. Smith - People's Church: Toronto, Canada

"For more than thirty years I have prayerfully considered the problem: How can we evangelise the world in the space of one generation? I do not believe we ever can send out enough missionaries; but there must be a way. After travel and study in fifty-three countries, I have come to the conclusion, the only way we are going to be able to carry out the Great Commission - 'Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature' (Mark 16:15) - will be by means of the printed page."

Dr Guy Playfield - Sudan Interior Mission

"I believe our Gospel literature is having a greater impact for Christ on Africa than the coming of five thousand new missionaries."

J.E. Mckee - "Christian Philosophy"

"Unquestionably the most economical and effective method of world evangelism is the printed page. Ninety percent of the reported conversions to Christianity in Latin America are the result of sound Gospel literature. One good Gospel tract or Bible study booklet given careful, prayerful, wide distribution may easily reach more people than all the sermons one could preach in a lifetime. And after we are gone, they remain, like Longfellow's 'Footprints on the Sands of Time' streams of blessing that will flow on forever."

Martin Luther

"Printing is God's latest and best work to spread true religion throughout the whole world."
