The Progress of World-Wide Missions B y R obert H all G lover Whoever undertakes, as does this au thor, to offer an accurate review of world missionary endeavor, from the time of the apostles to the present, faces a gigantic task requiring broad travel, deep study, and ability to put into compact, readable form the facts gleaned. Dr. Glover, a physician and Fellow of the Royal Geographical So ciety, who is at present connected with the China Inland Mission as Home Director for North America, has had intimate touch with most of the mission fields of the world. He is, therefore, peculiarly well fitted for this undertaking, and his suc cess in it may be judged by the eager re ception of his work. The book is in its ninth edition. Revisions completed in the summer o f 1931 bring it up to date. Used as a textbook, as it is in a number o f Bible schools, the questions at the close o f each chapter are an aid to memory and dis cussion. The complete bibliography and excellent index make it a valuable book for ready reference. 418 pages. Richard R. Smith, Inc. Cloth. Price $2.50. The purpose o f this book, as the author states it, is “to present to the reader some of the distilled spiritual experiences and counsels of Hudson Taylor.” In fulfill ment o f this purpose, 120 portions for daily use are arranged under the headings: The Legacy of His Message, The Legacy of His Life, The Legacy of His Work, and The Ever-Present Lord. The subject matter is o f a devotional nature, culled from un published letters, undivorced o f the per sonal appeal that accompanied the writing. 167 pages. China Inland Mission. Cloth. Price $1.00. The life and labors of this stalwart Christian leader furnish seemingly inex haustible material for such discerning and devoted writers as the co-authors of this book. Readers who are familiar with their two-volume biography of Hudson Taylor will find little in this present volume that is new. Its mission is to serve the many who do not have time for extended read- in but who need and desire the unfailing inspiration that comes from even a brief glimpse o f a life so yielded and so used as was that o f the famous founder o f the China Inland Mission. 174 pages. China Inland Mission. Cloth. Price $1.00. The Gist of the Lesson for 1933 B y R. A. T orrey For years, this handy vest-pocket com mentary has been an aid to busy Sunday- school workers.

They may be safely relied upon, for they are absolutely loyal to the Word of God. 160 pages. Revell Co. Board. Price 35 cents.

Teen-Age Stories Christian workers often find it difficult to secure suitable fiction to replace the trash which most of their young people are reading. The following stories, published in good cloth bindings, by Pickering & In- glis, are clean and wholesome, full of live ly interest, and built around high ideals. Most o f them contain a very clear setting forth of the plan of salvation and an urge to apply it personally. The books are spec ially suited to those in their early and mid dle teens. M argaret ’ s S tory by Marjory Douglas. Brought up in the lap of luxury, with never a worry or care either for herself or for others, Margaret finds it a terrific blow when she finds out the true facts o f her adoption, in the family, and when she is cast out by her foster father at the time of his wife’s death. However, she is led to Christ by a godly cook and, by His grace, is enabled to go through many a trial to the glory o f God. 315 pages. Price $1.25. C oral by Charlotte Murray. Little Coral was the mystery of the community from the time that, a tiny baby, Tom Hardy first held her in his arms as he stood on the shore of the little English fishing village one night in a dreadful gale. No one knew who the rough sailors were that rowed madly up to the shore, left her there, and disappeared again into the storm. Around the life of the little one is woven a complex tale of the lives of those who befriended her, always, however, giving prominence to Christ’s mastery over the individual life. 255 pages. Price $1.25. W ayfarers ’ R est by Isabel Platt. “Way farers’ Rest” was the quaint flower-filled tea garden of Downseaves vicarage, which the vicar’s daughter had turned into a place of real blessing as well as a means of in come.

The scene is laid in England during the World War. A young couple start life together and make a failure of it until they are both transformed by the power of the indwelling Saviour.

Bland. “Us Three” are Jack, his mother, and his dog, Puzzle.
