THE FAMILY CIRCLE (Continued from Page 141)
Give Books This Christmas We wish to call your attention to the following books that able presents is make very accept- Prodigal Daughters By Joseph Koclung This is not a religious book in any sense of that term, but it is exceedingly wholesome nevertheless. Present day conditions are fearlessly presented in such a way as to hold. Another story which will hold the reader spell-bound until the last page is reached. It is a frank, up-to-date story. A powerful piece of writing in which the famous novelist graphically describes the struggle against the flood of new morals and ethics and dress of the younger generation of women. Cloth, $1.75
Saturday, 29—Assurance of Success. “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt medi tate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”— Joshua 1:8. Pray for the Missions in Hawaii. Sunday, 30—Road to Riches. “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.”—Matt. 6:33. Pray that Chris tians may stand true to the Word of God. Monday, 31— Jesus Is Coming. “For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and re main shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”11-1 Thess. 4:16, 17. Pray for His Return. ab ab COMMENTS ON C. E. TOPICS (Continued from Page 142) January 6, 1924 Topic: Do Better Still— Phil.. 3:12-14. (Consecration Meeting.) While there is not absolute perfection in this life there is progress. Surely it is the desire of every born-again one to do better this year than last year. We will do better if we have,— first, BETTER PRAYER. More earnest prayer, more real prayer and more intercessory prayer. Second, BETTER BIBLE STUDY. This: means more time to be given to the study of God’s Word, more intense study, more thorough study. Means systematic study. Third, BET TER GIVING. Pay what we owe God, a tenth, and bring our offerings cheerfully and liberally. Fourth,i: BETTER SERVICE. Our business, as believers, is to glorify God in the winning of souls. Better service means more definite work, i. e., personal work, talking to individuals, one by one, about their need of salvation in home, store, shop, school, office, street, anywhere and everywhere. Writing letters and giving out. tracts. Always alert for souls. This is the best possible service. Fifth, BY BETTER TESTI MONY or WITNESS. We give forth a testimony by our lives as well as by our lips. Many who own Him with their lips deny Him with their lives. Sixth, BETTER CONSE CRATION. This time a complete surrender of self to Him. That sin you did not forsake last year— that idol you failed to tear down, that plan or scheme that you did not give up— that will that you did not surrender last year. Sur render to Him that He may fill you with His Holy Spirit and 1924 will be better than any past year of your life. A WELCOME VISITOR TO AMERICA Our good friend, Dr. A. C. Dixon, writes us that Mr. John Rinman, founder and principal of the Swedish Bible and Missionary Training Institute at Sodertelje, near Stock holm, a co-worker in Christian activities with Prince Berna- dotte (brother of the King of Sweden), is now in this coun try, and ready to preach or lecture in Swedish or English. Mr. Rinman has travelled extensively visiting mission sta tions throughout the world, and is the author of about thirty publications on Bible Teaching, Homiletics, Apolo getics, Mission Study and Pedagogics. We presume that any one desiring to avail themselves of the privilege of hearing this man of God, can reach him through Dr. Dixon, pastor of University Baptist Church, Baltimore, Md.
