Christian Workers’ Efficiency Course L. B r o o k s For ten years Mr. Brooks, who, for that length)pf .time, was secretary, of the Correspondence School Department of the. Bible Institute,.compiled material for a correspondence course to be known as ‘an efficiency course. Mr. Brooks had in mind especially lay workers and those looking toward definite Christian- work, and felt that hundreds could be made efficient workers, although they could not reach a training school. ■This material is now being printed as a course, by the Bible Institute, and will become a regular course of our Corre spondence School. It begins' with practical points about Bible study, such as how to memorize, how to prepare a study Bible; what Bible helps are necessary; how to compile and index material; the gathering : of illus trations. The author goes on to define different kinds of addresses, and shows how to prepare material for talks, sermons and Bible readings. Many do not know how to outline a message; This course shows exactly how to do it. Vital points on public delivery, the speaker’s personality, etc., are given. Visitation work, church advertising, preparation of newspaper articles, con ducting of different kinds of meetings and the leading of a song service, are other features. The subject of personal work is cov ered in a very unique way. A complete and concise Scripture outfit is provided, whereby one may readily pick passages suitable to meet various objections. The religious cults are taken up thoroughly, including Russellism, Christian Science, Theosophy, Mormonism, Seventh-Day Adventism, Catholicism, Judaism, Pente- costalism and healing cults.

Literature of Duke University. This book represents their joint labors, and is a revised edition of the syllabus published some years ago by Professor Spence and used since: by a number of universities and other institutions where a general course is given in the content of the Bible. It is arranged in eighty-four separate- chapters designed to furnish an outline only for a year of rapid but fairly thor ough Bible study. Its purpose is to avoid helps as much as possible and to send the student directly to the Bible text, and for such study it furnishes a fine syllabus. Besides the outlines on the Old and New Testaments, there is a short section each on Biblical Introduction and the era between the Testaments. For these studies outside helps would,' of course, be necessary, and a selected bibliography here, accompanied by a few notes, might have proved useful. The outlines themselves are arranged not only chronologically, but according to the great literary divisions of the
