^Christm as Will Soon Be H e r e = Books— Biola “ Best” Books Make the Best Gifts In making up your lists don’t forget that Andrew Murray’ s books were written to meet the need of the average Christian— NOTE THESE CAREFULLY God’s Best Secrets By Andrew Murray If there ever was a man since the days of the Apostle Paul who has dwelt in the secret place of the Most High where he could and did learn God's Best Secrets, that man was Andrew Murray, And he is giving us eight of these best secrets in this book,— The secret of Adora tion, The Secret of the Abiding Presence, The Faith Life, The Secret of Fellowship, The Secret of Inspiration, The Secret of Intercession, and The Secret of United Prayer. Written in the last days of his long and useful life, this book brings his very last word to the Chris tian Church. The hook is made up of eight sections, each containing thirty-one short chapters. Each chapter has a Scripture heading so that it is particularly helpful when used for daily meditation. Cloth, $2.00 The Full Blessing of Pentecost The True Vine Meditation for a month on John 15:1-16. The au thor says: “ I have felt
OUR CONTINUAL NEED OF THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR SERVICE (Continued from page 773) were filled with the Spirit I should he as indifferent to self interest as the Holy Ghost is Himself; the glorified presence of Jesus would he an abiding reality to my soul; I should be unceasingly satisfied in Him, and others would believe through my word. Then, why is this not my experience, when the Spirit in all His fulness has been given to me for this very purpose, that I may witness with Him of Jesus? “ I asked God again and again to fill me with the Spirit, yet I experienced no change. God commands me to be filled, and yet I am not filled. What is the matter? Now, my soul, he honest before God. 0 Holy Spirit! here and now, I beseech Thee, show me everything that is in my heart displeasing to Thee, and by Thy help I will cast it forth. My soul waiteth on Thee, O Lamb of God! Search me. . . . . . Oh, what hideous forms are these rising up before me! Shall I hide my eyes from them? No. They are the revelations of the Holy Spirit. “ 0 blessed Spirit! I have been dishonoring Thee. I have been asking Thee to fill me, while at the same time I have been willingly consenting to Thine enemies dwelling in Thy temple. Bring them forth, that I may hew them in pieces. Yes, I have been proud, seeking the honor of men more than the honor of God. Yes, I have been envious, secretly sorry when others have been more successful than myself. .Yes, I have, been worldly-minded, having more pleasure in talking about preachers and churches than about the person of Christ. Yes, I have been selfish, for I would rather speak about the good I have done than the good others are doing. Yes, I have been uncharitable, for I have often attributed selfish-motives to the actions of the benevolent. Yes, O my God! I acknowledge my sins before Thee; I am verily guilty, and abhor myself in Thy presence. “ But Thou hast said that if we confess Thou wilt forgive. I do confess my sins this day. Oh, cleanse me from secret faults! O Jesus, my Redeemer, Thy precious blood I claim to purge me this very hour from all these Spirit-grieving sins. And I entreat Thee, 0 my God, at any cost to keep me ever humble at Thy feet. Now, O God, I thank Thee that Thou-hast forgiven the iniquity of my sin according to Thy word. And now, O Holy Spirit, Thou hast come to fill the redeemed temple of my body, and to witness for JeSus through' His temple; come now, take entire possession of Thine own. I throw the door of my heart wide open unto Thee; oh, enter now— I surrender all to Thy will. Hence forth Thy mission shall be mine—-to convince of sin, to wit ness of Jesus, to guide into truth, to keep self unseen, and to use, without wavering, the ungirded sword of God’s naked Word.” (From “ Fully Furnished” ($1.50).

No writer is safer or more sane than Andrew Murray, and we are glad to have him to turn to in these days of so much wrong “ Pentecostal Blessing” teaching. This book rings true to the Scriptures and is a book you need to hold you true. Cloth, $1.00 Humility If Jesus is indeed to be our Example in His lowli ness, we need to under stand the principles in which it was rooted, and in which we can find common ground on which we stand with Him, and in which our likeness to Him is to be at tained. And that is just what this splendid book shows us so very clearly. Boards, 75c The Two Covenants and the Second Blessing The introduction tells us: “ This book is the humble attempt to show what ex actly the blessings are thav God has covenanted to be stow on us; what the as surance is the covenant gives that they must, can, and will be fulfilled; what the hold on .God Himself is which it gives us; and what the conditions are for the full and continual experi ence of its blessings. Cloth, $1.00
drawn to try to write what young Christians might easily apprehend as a help to them to take up that position in which the Chris tian life must be a suc cess.” This book is most helpful. Boards, 75c Like Christ The object of this book is to “ study the image of God in the man Christ Jesus, to yield and set open our inmost being for that image to take possession and live in us, and then to go forth and let the heav enly likeness reflect itself and shine out in our life among our fellowmen.” Cloth, 75c Waiting on God
Written under the deep est conviction that we need more of God. This book teaches us in our worship more to wait upon God, and to make the cultivation of a deeper sense of His pres ence, of more direct con tact with Him, of entire dependence on Him the def inite aim of our lives. A book to be read, studied and then acted upon. Boards, 75c If money does not accompany order, goods will be sent C. O. D.f unless otherwise specified.
