is not one-sided, but is a mutual fellow ship. It will be found that not only the many needs of the work of the Bible Institute of Los Angeles are subjects of prayer. Members of this fellowship share one another’ s personal burdens in prayer. O f requests that are remembered thus faithfully by the Prayer Circle, some have to do with serious family problems in homes where certain of the members are unsaved; others are requests that souls may be won to, Christ in specific forms of Christian work; still others are concerned with the ill health of the writers’ loved ones, and numerous friends ask for prayer that the Lord may guide and bless in their financial affairs in order that they may give more to the Bible Institute and other forms of Christian work. Persons wishing to join the Prayer Circle, choosing a definite hour each week for in tercession for the Bible Institute of Los Angeles, are invited to correspond with the Secretary, Miss Christina J. Braskamp, 558 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif. Miss Braskamp writes: “ Dear Prayer Warrior: W ill you not help us in this ministry of intercession even if you are not a member of the Prayer Circle? ‘Bear ye one another’s burdens,’ comes as the Lord’s will for each one of us, and the best way we can obey that command is through prayer.” Charles G. Trumbull is one of the outstanding Christian leaders of our day. His writings are characterized by balance and wisdom and above all by faithfulness to the Word of God. When the Sunday School Times, of which he is the honored editor, speaks, evangelical Christians throughout the world listen. Many look to this excellent periodical for pronouncements on the issues of the day and accept its findings and conclusions with confidence. Consequently, a book from the pen of Dr. Trum bull is an event of major importance. When that book deals with “Prophecy’s Light on Today,” in terest will naturally be intense and widespread. The author’s familiarity with Holy Writ and with con temporary history and his ability to “think without confusion clearly” and to state his case with direct ness are in evidence from the first page to the last. One hesitates to say which of the twenty chapters is the most valuable, but the chapter on “Is Modern ism the Great Apostasy?” is exceptionally strong. Oh, that every theological professor and preacher in the land would read that chapter! From the de votional standpoint, the chapter on “Three Great Prophecies of the Shepherd Psalms” is outstanding. The excellent illustrations, the copious and perti nent quotations, the up-to-date ana accurate state ments of fact, and the comprehensive presentation of the signs that indicate the nearness of our Lord’s return constitute an imperative plea for the student and teacher of prophecy to read this important book. 191 pages. Fleming H. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $1.50. — P. W . R. This Is Life By PAUL HUTCHENS Every Hutchens novel is alive with mystery, sus pense, action. Every one presents the plan of sal vation. The .sixth, This Is Life, has the ring of probability as it deals with deep problems— unan swered prayer, Satanic oppression, and other worries which many a young person carries in his heart but is hesitant to voice. The story finds its setting in Colorado’s beautiful mountains. Young Dr. David Carmen, though pursued by jealous Helene, by- a series of startling events develops dependence upon the Victor, the Lord Jesus Christ, and at length, with Marie Sherryll, shares His victory. 232 pages.

Long-Established Missionary Service The Export Department of Montgomery Ward, Chicago, this year observes the fif tieth anniversary of its Missionary Service. In 1887, the first orders from abroad were received by the company’s Chicago branch. They came from missionaries stationed over seas who had purchased from Wards when they were at home and who wanted the same dependable merchandise and sound values in their new location. These orders, from such far-flung points as the Congo Beige, Interior China, Ni geria, the Pacific Islands, Japan, were of especial interest to A. Montgomery Ward, the founder of the company.- He felt that they were a fine tribute to the service his firm rendered and to the merchandise it marketed. Thus, as the overseas orders continued to come to Chicago in larger and still larger volume, Mr. Ward added the Missionary Unit to Wards then but re cently organized Export Department, to give missionaries of all creeds the special care and attention they required. Through out all these years the Missionary Unit has functioned dependably and satisfactorily, helping its missionary friends abroad. It looks forward to another fifty years of use ful service. A great measure of the power and appeal of Dr. Bitderwolf’s message may be attributed to his gift for story-telling and the ability to make his illus trations live. He has but one theme— the cross of Christ— but he constantly varies his approach and development, casting new light from many angles upon the symbol of the believer’s eternal glory. Brightened by numerous modern examples of the outworking of the Scriptural principles under treat ment, this writer’s messages are as fascinating as fiction. A firm and final declaration of God’s dictum, “Ye must be born again,” concludes each of the sermons. 192 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. God’s Word for Today By O. HALLESBY Professor of the Independent Theological Semi nary, Oslo, Norway, Dr. Hallesby has become well known_ for his penetrating studies on The Chris - tian Life, Conscience, and Prayer which have been translated^ into English and widely read. The pres ent devotional book has the charm of unique phrase ology which will make its use in the family circle both stimulating and profitable. For each day in the year a text and meditation are given, and he who appropriates the message will be led into the depths of riches in Christ. 376 pages. Augsburg: Publishing House. Cloth. Price $1.00. My Human Best Filled with the Spirit _ By RICHARD ELLSWORTH DAY Unmistakably, a “borrowed glow” burns through the' printed words of each day’s meditation in this. Quiet Hour Series, another production of the author of the revolutignizing biography of D. L. Moody* Bush Aglow. Humble dependence upon the ener gizing power of the Holy Spirit is the burden of this first quarter’s message, designed for use in January, February, and March, 1938. The writer has the rare faculty of getting down to the basic needS' of the heart, disregarding the feigned suc cess in Christian service which is a sad though common substitute for Spirit-filled obedience to the Lord’s commands. Because of its emphasis upon the Word, this devotional handbook will be a blessing in private worship or at the Family Altar. 94' pages. Zondervan Publishing House. Paper. Price 35 cents per copy, $1.25 per year.
