band, Mrs. Norton serves not only as a missionary and overseer o f the work, but also—through her writings—as a helper to many o f the Lord’s tested children whom she has never seen, In each chapter o f the present volume there appear evi dences of the all-wise counsels of God as He leads His children through humanly insurmountable difficulties and obstacles. The question in the title and first chapter of the book is definitely, and positively answered in the affirmative throughout the thirty-one chapters o f the book, in the recital o f the experiences- through which Mr. and Mrs. Norton were called to pass in recent years.

where she serves : “We are praying that a revival similar to that in the Kikuyu tribe may be started among our Masai and other tribes. These Masai are very slow to receive the gospel, and most o f the re sults that we see are from a government school which is located about -six miles away.' A few weeks ago, there were nine teen of these boys who were baptized by Mr. Shaffer. We are praying that these boys may stand true and be the leaders in the future. . . . The hospital building is of dried mud with a grass thatched roof. A short time ago, we had a native that had been mauled by a lion. Just before leaving the station, we had one o f the chief’s daughters. She was a Christian, and we believe that it was only through answered prayer that her condition is improved.” Robert and Mrs. Chrisman (Esther En- der, ’27), Ubon, Siam (Christian and Mis sionary Alliance), are having active days and have been privileged to see spiritual fruitage in the past year. O f the over ruling o f difficulties on an itineration tour, Mr. Chrisman writes : “ It was a bad piece o f road indeed, but, just a few days before, several trucks loaded with Buddhists passed over it on their way to a noted shrine. I f Buddha’s truck could make the grade, surely one bearing God’s messen gers could, too. A fter such arguing, we won. We made it through the pitch dark ness and the rain, and because we did, sev eral large villages hidden away in the jungle were reached for thé first time. God honored the effort with many sales o f Gospels and with large crowds at our open-air meetings.” At Ubon, further op portunities opened: “W e were forced out o f our old house three months ago. God had something better in store for us—not a better house ; it is far worse—but a bet ter location. Now we are next door to the post office. Crowds pass our door, and the latchstring is always on the outside. Fre quently our invitation which hangs over the gate is accepted, and we have the privi lege o f talking of Jesus to some weary traveler.” ■ - Bom To Stanley T.

Price SO cents each. 1 Allowing the Sword of the Spirit to make plain the distinction between God’s revealed plan o f salvation and the many “other gospels” offered to men today, the author shows from the Word the necessity and the manner of receiving life eternal in the crucified Son of God. Study of this evangelist’s use o f illustrations and o f his handling o f Scripture will prove fruitful to Christian workers who long to warn the indifferent, the legalistic, and the deluded who are basing their hope of salvation on false foundations. The use o f direct ad dress makes the book suitable for the un saved reader also. Throughout the mes sage there rings the conviction o f the eternal lostness o f the unbeliever, and o f the _ absolutely free pardon offered in Christ. 128 pages. Marshall, Morgan, & Scott, Ltd.
