The one great need in the modern missionary movement is intercessors. They were scarce in the days of Isaiah. This was his complaint:
“And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor.”
So today there is great need of intercessors, first, for the needy harvest-fields of earth, born of a Christly compassion for the thousands without the Gospel; and then intercessors for labourers to be sent forth by God into the needy fields of earth.
