on the LORD’S SUPPER These studies on the great symbol of the Christian Faith should have a wide and sympathetic reading

In the Breaking of the Bread By James I. Vance, D.D. Although the old-fashioned custom of a preparatory ser­ vice preceding comunion has largely fallen into disuse, there is a preparation which the heart should make in the solitude of self-examination, as the soul contemplates the holy mysteries shadowed forth in the sacrament. This volume of communion addresses will be helpful to ministers as they lead their people in services preparatory to the Commun­ ion. It will also bring rich blessing to individual hearts who make preparation for the solemn hour when we meet Him at the table. Cloth $1.25

The Church and the Sacraments By W. M. Clow, D.D. This new volume of Dr. Clow’s written in his charac­ teristically vivid style, is fas­ cinating in itself, and it sup­ plies a much-needed study of the Christian Sacraments. The discussions in this book are based on the primary author­ ity of the New Testament, and supported by historical and doctrinal proofs. The closing chapter is a summing up of the religious value of the Lord’s Supper—as the most deeply cherished Sacrament— to the Church and its worship. Cloth $2.00

C loth $1.50 At the Lord’s Table By David Owen Thomas The Lord’s Supper By Bishop Francis Wesley Warne This little volume is of the widest interest and applica­ tion and will be found to be informing and spiritually help­ ful to all Christians—enabling them to more intelligently and with, greater spiritual profit partake of the Lord’s Supper. The discussion covers the range of the historical, doc­ trinal, and spiritual values of the ordinance. It has been put into print with the hope that it might be useful for probationers’ c l a s s e s , for young people in the Epworth League chapters, in homes where young people are being prepared for their first com­ munion, and as a helpful pres­ ent from friend to friend. Cloth 50c If money does not accompany order, goods will be sent C. O. D. If goods are to come by mail add 10% for postage. Send for a free copy of our complete Catalog of Books, Booklets, Tracts, etc. Comprising both addresses and critical dissertations, this volume contains a veritable mine of information regarding the origin, history and signifi­ cance of the Communion ser­ vice. The author devoted a life-time to research in Amer­ ica and abroad and he has given us material as informing as it is inspiring. A thorough scholar of Greek, a student of sacramental literature, he has shown himself also a masterly interpreter of the Scriptures. In this day of awakened in­ terest in the Lord’s Supper, this instructive work should have a wide and sympathetic reading. To the student it of­ fers a rich reward, and for public worship or private meditation it will give inspir- ing suggestion. Cloth $3.00

not, to sit in appalling darkness with all the glorious truths and divine realities in general lost to sight. But there is One Who is full of light, of pity and of love, and you can, if you will, turn your blind face toward heaven until the Sun of right­ eousness arises with healing in His wings, until He Who looseth the bands of Orion shines upon you and turns the shadows of death into the brightness of the morning light.-—W.

People say, “Do you believe in Holiness and Perfection?” Assuredly, we do. There is nothing real in the universe and nothing more evidently taught in the Bible. But to hear some people talk of Holiness and Perfection you get the idea that, for them at least, the maximum of spiritual attainment has been reached. There are two points of difference between the birth that makes one a child of God, and that of the ancient goddess, Minerva, who is Said to have sprung from the brain of her father. If you want to know more- about this famous “Blue- eyed Maid,” you may read Ruskin’s interesting story of “The Queen of the Air.” She was thè favorite of all the daughters of Jupiter. Just what sort of à sensation the great Jupiter, or Zeus, as the Greeks called him, must have felt in his head on the morning of Minerva’s birth is difficult to imagine. One is almost tempted to believe that Vulcan must have broken open his skull with a blow from his “far-sounding hammer,” but, at any rate, so the story goes, Minerva, the goddess of wisdom, sprung from her father’s head, full-grown and full-armored,
