ORDAINED OF THE LORD, by E. Schuyler EnglUh, Litt. D. It was a most fortunate choice that the editor of Our Hope should have been chosen to write the biography of the beloved pastor of the Moody Church of Chi cago. A better combination of author and subject can scarcely be imagined. Certainly Dr. English has fulfilled well his own purpose as expressed in his preface to write this book: “to the end that Christ in all His power and beauty and faithfulness may be seen in what He has wrought through His servant, and that men and women may be encouraged along life’s path and incited to fuller yieldedness to the Lord through the record of His faithful steward.” Dr. Ironside’s story is that of a man of God constantly “ on the move for Christ’s sake for more than fifty years,” and, as such, is full of spiritual b l e s s i n g and human interest. It w ill awaken holy ambitions in the hearts of all Chris tians to emulate Dr. Ironside in doing something, and being something, for God. 276 pages. Zondervan Pub. House. Cloth. Price $2.50.

The account of his life and ministry is fascinating reading. Without attacking Individ- NOVEMBER, 1946
uals or “naming names,” Dr. Aldama nevertheless gives his readers a clear view of the political, social and re ligious influences of the Roman faith. Written simply and in a beautiful, humble spirit, this volume should prove a blessing to many hearts. 114 pages. Zondervan Pub. House. Cloth. Price $1.00. THE ENDUEMENT OF POWER, by Oswald J. Smith.
