The eldest qf the three at once,; and with a very serious air, said, “ Stop, and let us all kneel down and pray,” which they did. She led them, and having them repeat after her very delib erately each word by itself, said, “Dear Jesus, make us love one another.” They all, in subdued and serious tones, repeated' the words after her and then, rising up, went on .with their play as pleasantly as could be wished.

By. Dr. G. Campbell Morgan Dr. Morgan’s valuable con tribution to the literature of The Acts, will be both a help and an inspiration to the teacher. It reflects on every page the author’s keen, an alytical powers, and the mark ed ability with which, for a quarter of a century, he has contributed to a fuller, ever- developing knowledge of the content and meanings of Holy Writ. Cloth $3.75 By Grace Saxe Helps people study the Bible for themselves rather than memorizing what others say.

The interesting and instructive na ture of this inspired ^book makes it a valuable addition to the Christian’s library. 650 pages; Cloth $4.00 Cross-Reference Study o f Acts By Keith L. Brooks This is a verse-by-verse commentary on the book of Acts, to be written by the stu dent with the help of the Scriptures themselves— the au thor being of the opinion that no teacher can be compared with the Holy Spirit, and that no commentary is so safe as the Bible itself. Paper 50 cents The Gospels and Acts of the Apostles By Dr. Wm. Evans These illuminating, scholar ly outline studies will do much for the reader as they have evidently done in oral form in the large Bible classes con ducted by Dr. Evans. Sunday- school teachers will find this book of great assistance in their work. Cloth $1.50 Studies in the Book of Acts
“ Behold the man,” and let the view of that unspeakable love of His move your hearts to lively gratitude, and self-denying ser vice. Has it not been well said, that often men show more gratitude toward the friend from whom they have received one benefit than to the God' froip whom they received all? “ God spared not His own Son.” “ Even Christ pleased not Himself.” And how do His professed followers often show their love and gratitude? By a languid attendance at divine ordinances, by the giving o f a perhaps grudging dole for the work of Christ’s king dom; there, it may be, their tribute o f gratitude begins and ends. Let our consciences speak to us as we view this scene on Gab- batha! Some o f you may have read the story o f the manner in which Count Zinzendorf was finally led to found the Moravian Church. He was one day walking through the picture gallery at Düsseldorf revolving various projects in his thought. He was a ¡good man, a true disciple, but had not yet risen to the full consecration o f his noble work. He was that day suddenly ar rested before a notable Ecce Homo —a picture of the Redeemer with the crown o f thorns on His bleeding head. The artist’s legend was, -“ All this have I done for thee: what hast thou done for Me?” The picture sermon went home. Zinzendorf there and then entreated the Lord to grant him “the fellowship of His sufferings,” and the result was the founding o f Unites Fratrum, the United Brethren, the most missionary church in the world. It is the want of faith and love that keeps men from a full consecration. May we have faith to realize more fully the wonder of that love; and may that love constrain us to do our Father’s will and finish His work, following our Redeemer 1 A wonderful •and well-known picture, at which many have loved to look, presents to us the mother o f the Crucified' being gently led away from the awesome scene by him who was now her “son,” broken-hearted, crushed by what she had gone through. The face is something to look at—so grief-stricken, so heart- pierced and yet with some strange, quaint ray o f faith lighting it up! And the painter has given this “touch.” In the poor, feeble, quivering fingers is clasped—what? The “crown of thorns.” Unconsciously, instinctively, Mary had unfastened the cruel thorns from her holy child’s head. They were no more hurting then; but it was nature in a mother’s hand to tear it off. And now she clasps it, keeps it, dear, precious. It was with Him, part of Him, and it is sacred, not to be parted with now! But it will be said—and truly in a measure—that is merely nat ural sentiment. J une 2S, 1928 Text : Jn. 19:27
