S ummer has always been a good time to catch up on our reading. For many Christians no vacation is complete unless they have a book or two along to enjoy. Here at the Biola Book Room we have decided this summer to make available by mail order a number of today’s best sellers in the Christian field. In this special mail order group we’ve included books for children, fic tion, theology, Bible study and a pop ular autobiography. The autobiog raphy is His Banner Over M e by Martha Snell Nicholson. For years Martha Snell Nicholson’s poems have been a blessing to the hearts of count less thousands. Hers has been a life of deep pain and deep' joy. And the way she tells about her life is some thing . . . well, we think few Chris tians will ever forget. Here’s what the Book Review Editor for K in g ’ s B u sin ess said about Martha Snell Nicholson’s book in a recent issue. “Mrs. Nicholson’s poems have brought comfort, b le s s in g and strength to countless thousands. Her autobiography will be welcomed by all who have been so blessed. Most of the book relates the story of her childhood, high school and early col lege days in and near Tacoma, Wash. The reader had best prepare himself to be alternately howling with laugh ter and holding back tears. The sub ject’s facility of expression and imag ination (she frequently reports the remarks of her guardian angel) is delightful. The later years of suffer ing and writing will encourage the faint-hearted to renew dependence upon Martha Snell Nicholson’s Sav iour. Few books have brought more blessing to the reviewer.” This book will make delightful summer reading for you or will make an ideal thank you gift for those you visit this summer. The book is print ed by .Moody Press in an attractive red cloth binding with a red and gold jacket. There are 192 pages and the price is just $2.50. Now here is a brief note about the other 13 books that we’ve selected for your summer reading. Children Man-Eaters Don't Knock — Charles Lud wig.

Ochella. They learn about Simba (that’s the man-eater) and go to the village to help trap him. Everything they try fails, until one dark night when the man-eater grabs Chemel!
