(Bible Institute Colportage Association). Harmony of the Last Week, by Eugene Charles Calla way. Mr. Callaway is a layman and', as a teacher of a class of young men, was led to take up the study of the last week of our Lord on earth, and as a result, has been able to make clear the fact that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, the 14th of the month, Nisan, just as the Jews were slaying the Passover lamb, thereby demonstrating the error of the theory that He was crucified on Friday and ful filling the prophecy in every detail as typified in the Pass- over. Price 25c.
“But Jesus Answered”—A book of 120 pages, containing eight “Bible Talks” by Rev. H. Tydeman Chilvers, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle, London; preached; on Thursday evenings. The publisher was kind enough to let me read the advanced proof sheets, and it has given me some choice morsels of spiritual food. Mr. Chilvers says in the “Foreword” that his purpose is “to speak to the heart in every day language,” and he has succeeded. The regenerate heart cannot fail to respond, and all through the book there are winsome notes of ap peal to the unsaved. Though every chapter is intensely practical, there is no attempt to displace Biblical expressions with modern sub stitutes. In the first paragraph are these arresting words: “We are told sometimes that we should not speak of these subjects in Bible language, because men do not understand Bible phraseology. They tell us that the words Incarna tion, Justification, and Regeneration are words that are foreign to the ordinary mind. Then so much the worse for the ordinary mind! And I cannot for the life of me see why we should adopt some other phraseology because of the ignorance of the men of this day.” And he does not shun the unpopular word “hell.” “If you go on like that,” he says, “you will slip down to hell as soon as possible.” The chief characteristic of the book is its loyalty to Christ and the Bible. He is constantly pointing to the Cross, the empty Sepulchre and the coming Throne. In it all is the note of victory. In the atmosphere of academic unbelief so widespread today it is a real soul-tonic to read words like these: “When we begin to question some parts of the Book, then the whole Book is brought into question. When we ques tion the Book, we question Him, and when we begin to call Jesus Christ into question, we bring shadows over our mind, we darken our vision of Him, we lose our moor ings. We are as those at sea without a rudder.” We are not surprised that large audiences gathered on Thursday evenings to hear “Bible Talks” like these, and we hope that thousands will buy the book that they may share the feast with the more favored people of the Metro politan Tabernacle.— (Revised by A. C. Dixon) Henry Loomis, Friend of the Fast, by Clara Denison Loomis, his daughter. A life story largely of service to Japan, with touches of interest concerning Korea, China and Russia. The introduction by Dr. Robt. E. Speer, a life long friend. (Revell) ?1.25. The Holy Spirit in Scripture and Experience, Dr. J. C. Massee.
