CHILDREN'S GOSPEL COMMENTARY, by Keith L, Brooks. Not many books have been written that are' a com mentary on the actual text oi Scripture, for boys and girls. Dr. Brooks has un dertaken to provide such a volume, containing 154 daily portions, each of them having a central topic, a skillful paraphrasing of the context, and four summarizing questions in the '‘check up.” The work covers “ all essential parts of the Gospel story, omitting only doctrinal points beyond the range of the child.” The four Gospels and the Book of Acts are treated. For the use of the Christian teacher or parent, or for family worship or the children’s own reading, these simple two-page lessons will be of great value. 320 pages. Zondervan Pub. House, Grand Rapids, Mich. Cloth. Price $2. THE MISSIONARY AND ANTHRO- POLOGY, by . Gordon H. Smith. Many valuable works on anthropology have been produced by missionaries but this book by Rev. Gordon H. Smith of French Indo-China differs in that it is a strong appeal to the Christian church and to Mission boards to awake to the importance of training their missionaries in this vital subject. At tention is called to the fact that the Dujeh and British governments con sider a knowledge of anthropology of sufficient importance to see to it that their colonial administrators have one to two years training in it. The Bible- believing missionary of the .postwar world can now go forth armed with his message, the gospel of Christ; arm ed with the very .latest in linguistics, to master languages and translate the Scriptures; and armed with a knowl edge of anthropology to better under stand and work with the peoples whom he will contact. The only crit icism of the book that could be of fered is that it is too brief, but as a means of arousing mission boards and individual missionaries to their re sponsibility in this regard it will serve very well. 160 pages. Moody Press, 153 Institute Place, Chicago 10, Illinois, /loth. Price $1.50.
