is ringing out to Christians everywhere today ? It may be in the privacy of one’s own chamber (Matt. 6 : 6 ) or in the hush of the believing assembly (Heb. 10:25) —but where there are hearts yearning after God and higher things, there is a sanctuary; there is a mount of God! Forty days with God on the mount! That is the Story of Moses, and no his torian writes the tale of that time of retirement. Some experiences cannot be recorded, cannot be discussed w i t h others. They must be known simply by the divine influences that later issue from the lives, that have been thus stirred. Men who have had Gethsemanes do not advertise them. They live them. We have so many windbags in pulpits today, so many who appear to be oftho- dox but merely skim the surface. Why are we so little used of God in spite of our fundamental beliefs? Is it not that By-Paths in the Bible Country By CHARLES A. S. DWIGHT The light of the varied customs of Bible lands has been ca$t upon more than one hundred “unfamiliar by-ways of Scripture,” thus making possible the “winnowing [of] all the grain” from the more hidden but none the less precious portions of the Word. Most of the expositions are a page in length. The book belongs on the reference shelf, within easy reach. 128 pages. Bible Insti tute Colportage Ass'n. Cloth. Price $1.00.

God speaks only through those who come up into the mount with Him? There must be seasons of disappear ance and reappearance. Men of action should be mountain men. Men mighty in the use of words for God must be men of prolonged meditation in the Word itself. Too much with people—not enough with Christ! Too much running around in circles—not enough sitting at His feet! That is the story of our powerless ness. “There are so many, many cares; So much, so very much to do. There is so little time for prayers; So many duties to go through. Oh, hear the Spirit softly say: “Take time to pray! Take time to pray!’ —Keith L. Brooks. to them.

That name is prominent in this informative and spiritual account of fifty years of ministry of the Central American Mission. Dr. Sco field exerted “his massive influence”, in opening large sections of Central America to the gospel. The book is the record—condensed as it must be—of a half century of triumphs of faith.

Others could “not come nigh.” And alas, how true it is today! Few are capable of get ting . to the summits with God. There are those who are willing to put forth the effort to get to the hilltops because they appreciate the larger vision. The great mass of Christians remain on the lower levels, and some of them sing about “higher ground” as they grope in the gulleys. “Come up to me into the’ mount” !
