Pickering & Inglis. •—o— Evolution and the Break-Up of Christendom B y C. L eopold C larke In the author’s foreword, he sets forth the distinctive purpose of the volume. It is twofold: first, to examine evolution in its essential influence; and second, by the evidence produced, to show that “the popular philosophy of evolution is thor oughly vicious.” In examining the essential influences of evolution, he indicates it as an apostasy paralleling the ancient rejection of God in nature, described in the Epistle to the Romans. He states that it is simply a return to the pagan code of life, and that the samé result may be predicted for it as was manifested in the ancient civiliza tions, which, through moral decay, were overthrown. In his discussion, he speaks of the dilemma of evolutionary science and declares that evolution is not scientific in that it is not based upon facts of nature but has sprung up from the speculating imaginations of men. His logical conclu sion is that a universal decline in the mor al fiber of society will inevitably follow as a result of the evolutionary hypothe sis. In : the closing section of the book, he deals with the outworkings of evolu tion in society today. The volume con tains very much food for earnest thought on the part of those who are concerned with the moral structure of our present- day civilization. 271 pages. Marshall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd. GlOth. Price $3.00.

Object Lessons and Blackboard Talks C ompiled by G.: F. V allance . In the preface of this book, the com piler gives the following general rules for the Christian worker’s use of illustra tive material: “Be natural. Be spiritual. Quote Scripture correctly. Preach the Word, pointing to Christ. Pray before and after each address.” Then, by means of simple and suggestive outlines and il lustrations, he shows how these rules may be effectively applied in teaching young people. The chief value,of the book lies in its reverent and illuminating treatment of Scripture. The material will be found to be easily adaptable to the individual teacher’s need. 92 pages. G. F. Vallance, Publisher, Goodmayes, Essex, Eng. Board. Price $1.50. •—o— Out of the Depths B y C larence W. H all Henry F. Milans, whose life story is told in this book, was considered one of the dregs of society when picked up by the Salvation Army in the streets of New York. Transformed by the power of God, his life again became useful. Back of the story of his downfall is the old, old enemy, the drink habit. Before the age of twenty, he was a confirmed drunk ard and a victim of delirium tremens. Back of the story of his recovery are the prayers of a godly mother and a good wife. The book is written in a fascinating style. Commander Evangeline C. Booth furnishes the foreword. Through the reading of the volume, some will see anew that no sinner is beyond the help of the grace of God. 224 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $1.50. ■—o— ■Finding Christ B y J ohn L. B randt The author seeks to point out that Christ must be accepted as Son of God and Saviour, if all the evidence we have concerning Him is honestly examined. His first thesis is that Jesus Christ was not an invention of the Gospel writers, nor ^was He a myth or an imposter. Taking up the subject on the positive side, he finds the New Testament records to be credible,_showing that Jesus Christ is truly God incarnate and Saviour of the world through His atoning death. One could wish that there had been more care ful and complete statements made con cerning the doctrines of the incarnation and the atonement than are discovered in the book. One must also take exception to the idea that “Christian America must accept her commission as a most sacred trust in helping to Christianize the world.” The present reviewer conceives it to be the duty of every Christian to help evan gelize the world. 97 pages. Richard R. Smith, Inc. Cloth. Price $1.25.

When the sinner has descended to the lowest depths of shame and has paralyzed all his powers that could give him any hope of recovery, his restoration is the greater miracle.

The accounts of such de liverances are always fascinating. The author of this book has a facile pen and makes the characters stand out as in real life. 128 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $1.25.
