the chapter on “ Christ Within” . This is one of the author’s most popular lectures. The chapter on “ The Mark of the Beast” cannot be called a “ de bate with evolution” unless knocking a thing all to pieces can be called de bating. He marshalls Scripture, logic and scientific testimony to combat what he calls a “ diabolical doctrine” . (Winrod Pub’n Center, Wichita, Kan sas) $1.25. Back to the Old Trail, by Janet M. Ingles. The old Gospel is seen again In all its transforming power in the lives of real men and women, boys and girls. In its pages every one may see him self or herself. The characters live! Romance, deep and true, runs through the story, making it one of fascination and thrilling interest. Says David James Burrell, Pastor of Marble Col legiate Church, New York: “ It will be helpful to young people especially, and in these troublous times they are in great need of being ‘led back to the Old Trail.’ Many are the by-paths that entice the rising generation to leave the King’s Highway, but the ‘old time religion is good enough for us’.” (Evangelical Publishing House, Cleve land, Ohio). $1.50 Groatheart of the Bowery, Scenes from the Life-story of John G. Halli- mond, Superintendent of the Bowery Mission, with biographical foreword by George H. Sandlson. This is a real story of the human heart at its worst and at its best. We pity the Christian people who have never been in touch with what are called the “ down and outs” , and sorry for the minister who has never had time or heart to touch humanity at its depths. We had the privilege of knowing this man of God and of seeing him in the midst of touching humanity in the jails, the penitentiaries and slums. We urge every Christian worker to read this book and feel the heart touch with Him whose close association here on earth was with the fishermen of Gali lee and the “ down and outs” . (Revell) $1.50 Exploits, by Frederick P. Wood, a series of Meditations on the Life which Counts because it Costs. Dr. F. B. Meyer says, in the foreword; “ The reason for much of the apostasy from the evangelical faith of our fathers 1 b that the religion of the New Testament is viewed almost entirely from the in tellectual, rather than the spiritual standpoint. The beauty of Christ’s hu man character; the lofty morality of the Sermon on the Mount; the hero ism of endurance; the beauty of ideals that shone forth from the Apostolic Church— these are held up for rever ence; but little stress is laid upon the eternal and spiritual dynamic that lay
After Death, What? By William Evans, Ph.D., D.Q. The subject of the future life and the conditions which lie beyond the grave is an age-abid ing theme with some people. The an swer to all such questions is found only in the Word of God and Dr. Evans In this volume gives interesting Bib lical views. At the bottom of each page he gives the Scripture references which verify his position. We heartily commend this book.. (Revell) $1.50. Phil Tyler’s Opportunity, by Fred erick E. Burnham. A stirring story of a young Christian business man whose experiences at store-keeping in a typi cal rural community are told, naturally and entertainingly, to show the power of outspoken testimony in courageous Christian living. The book is dedi cated to “ a great company of young men in whose hearts burns a desire to live a full life— one of intelligent pur posefulness and service to others.” (B. I. Colportage Ass’n) 75c The Joy of Discovery, and Other Ad dresses, by John Richelsen, D. D., Pastor Kenmore Presbyterian Church, Buffalo, N. Y. The sermonB In this volume are of a helpful nature and re freshing variety and contain the fun damental things needed today and all the days. The titles are alluring: “ The Joy of Discovery” , "The Magnetic Christ” , "The Defeat of the Strate gist” , "The Thrill of Easter” , "Impos sible Neutrality", etc., all awaken a strong desire to read them. (Revell) I I . 25 The Second Watch, by John Mac- Beath, M.A., a Keswick Jubilee Mes sage. Here are six searching sermons on "The Two Environments” , “ The, Reach of God's Eye", "Gateway or Goal” , “ The Emotions of J e s u s” , “ Straight Paths” , “ The E n l a r g e d Heart” , and “ The Second Watch.” Says the author: "The message of these chapters was a spoken message, and though it now appears in print I have not altered the form of expression, * * but leave the message as it was spoken to speak again.” (Marshall Bros.) 2/6 ( $ 1 . 00 ) Our Class, by Miss C. Bliss Clark. Miss Clark has written attractively for young women of the “ skittish” age; quaint passages abound; it puts across a wholesome, gripping message of the appealing interest in true Bible study on fundamentalist lines, coupled with genuine Christian living, especially through "Aunt Angela Carroll." In view of the complex social life of today this would be a valuable book for Sun day School libraries. Attractively bound In heavy art paper covers. .(Reub. Williams & Sons, Winona Lake, Indiana.

Definite Signs of This Age Closing, by “ A Business Man” ^ Mr. G. Elgin Keefer has edited a booklet which should be in the hands of every lover of prophecy. It contains some start ling suggestions in connection with rapidly developing facts in national af fairs in the Near East as related to the Jews and to the end of the age which are of intense interest. We recom mend this little booklet to Bible teach ers and students. (Biola Book Room) 25c (Six for $1.00) The Wonderful Names of Our Won derful Lord, by T. C. Horton and Charles E. Hurlburt.

Winrod. This is an unusual book. It is written to meet a need and comes at an op portune time. The author is fearless in his denunciation of present day evils. He asks no quarter and gives none. He strikes sledge-hammer blows. The reader’s heart will be strangely warmed at times as he reads
PRAYER AND HOLINESS Prayer and a holy life are one. They mutually act and react. Neither can survive alone. The absence of the one is the absence of the other. We are in danger of substituting churchly work and a ceaseless round of showy activities for prayer and holy living. A holy life does not live in the closet, but it cannot live with out the closet. If, by any chance, a prayer c h a m b e r should be established without a holy life. It would be a cham ber without the presence of God in it. — E. M. Bounds.
