T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S Over 1400 difficult passages of scrip­ ture in the New Testament are illumin­ ated. The Christian worker will find invaluable aid and suggestion in this collection of expositions. Cloth, $1.50. In connection with this we would like to mention again our recent Biola pub­ lication, “ Perplexing Passages in the Four Gospels,” in which have been com­ piled the best expositions from many writers touching all difficult statements in the four Gospels. This work gives the student the advantage of many view­ points, whereas the above-mentioned book gives the interpretations of one man only. The two books make good companions for the desk of any Bible student. $1.50 each.

CRITICS, CREEDS AND CHRISTIANS By Rev. P. A. Klein, Pastor Dunlap Baptist Church, Seattle, From many presses now we read, this much ado of warring creeds. They seem to say with great alarm, “ Denominations, now disarm.” To those who do not understand, for explanation there’s demand. So we will try to help them see, just why we cannot all agree. We do agree that creeds by man, should all go in the garbage can; Whatever is man made, we say, most certainly, that must give way, But why should those who Christ believe, give up His word for crumbling creeds? Do you not know thaj Christ doth say, “ My word shall never pass away” ? And Jude, who understood the trend, said, “ For the faith ye must contend.” If now our readers do demand, upon what basis we should stand, And join in heart as well as hand, with every preacher in the land, We here will state as best we can, that faith which came from God to man. The inspiration of God’s word; the virgin birth of Christ our Lord; His blood which flowed on Calvary’s tree; the only cure for sin to be; A living Christ up from the dead, with flesh and bones just as He said, Up to God’s throne He went away, from whence He’s coming back some day. Where these adorn a church’s brow, there is no fight between us now; With men like these we gladly chat, we share our seat, we tip the hat. From such we fear no good to lose; we share our pulpit if they choose, With men like this we make no war. We’re brothers now; we were before. But Satan’s men are creeping in, with canker words and hidden sin. Their untamed lust and human greed, they camouflage by shouting, “ Creeds!” They have no Jonah and no whale; their cross and tomb, an idle tale. These men have no inspired word; they mock at sin and Jesus’ blood. To such as these we do not cower, nor hold a truce, not for one hour. Tho’ some who do not like our stand, call us a small dogmatic band. But things like this don’t bother us, tho’'some may kick and make a fuss, We’re in for keeps and not for fuffi Then, too, the fight has just begun! That’s why you hear throughout the land, the chirping critics and their band. They call us names we cannot help; they wail, they howl, they bark, they yelp. But these do not affright our men; God’s word is greater than their pen. His faith is still our shining shield. Don’t worry, boys, we’ll keep the field.
