-----LOOKING FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS------------ Theta book* will make splendid presents “ Best” Books VARIED IN THEME HELFPUL IN MESSAGE Following the Gleam By Florence Grauel MlUer A splendid book of stories about the more obscure characters of the New Testament. The Author sayss "Carefully following the New Testa ment as a map and guide, 1 have gone, in imagination, with these people over the hills and valleys and along the city streets of Palestine. In endeavoring to delineate them a little more sharply from their shadowy background, I have sought to make the added details true to what the Gospels portray.” Splendid for home reading— splendid for gift purposes.

eternal value of Hie personality vras In Hie act of dying on Calvary; Hie blood was shed, Himself He gave. He died • once, but not for himself—for others. Revelation—“There stood before me as the appearance of a man (Gever)" (Daniel 8:15). Christ is the center, the heart, the substance, the soul, the key, to Divine Revelation. “The Book, It speaks of Him, The Christ reveals. The eyes that close to Him, All truth conceals.” Man from each standpoint is found to be a failure. Adam is of the earth, earthy (Psa. 146:3, 4; Eccl. 7:2). “Ish” in his greatness, is of self, selfish (Psa. 41:9, margin). “Enosh” in his weakness, is of badness, the worst (Job 25:6). “Gever” in his might, is of the weak, the weakest (Job 14:10). But the MAN of men is the Master of men, as the Spirit says: "As by the offense of one, judgment came upon all men to condemnation: éven so, by the righteousness of One, the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life” (Romans 5:18). . As we think of man in the complexity of his nature, and in the mystery of his life, we say with Shakespeare: “What a piece of work is man! How noble in reason! How infinite in faculty! In form, and moving, how express and admirable! In action, how like an angel! In appreciation, how like a God! Therefore, it becomes man to “Let each one think of himself an act of God; His mind, a thought; His life', a breath of God.” For, “Man is one world, and hath another to attend him.” Therefore, let us not forget: “Man is man and master of his fate.” And yet there is more than that, as Pope says: The God we need to “scan,” and the “mankind” we need to “study,” is the God-Man, Christ Jesus, for He alone is “The Man to rise in me, That the man I am may cease to be.” Then, when He saves and rises in us, we shall not only say with Tennyson, The beauty of the world! The paragon of animals!” 1 . “Know thyself, presume not God to scan. The proper study of mankind is man.”
