The Sav iour stands at the door o f the heart. “Be hold, I stand at the door, and knock.” John Berridge once said, after having given out these, words as his text, “I would much rather it be written, ‘Whoso ever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved,’ than, ‘If John Berridge shall call upon the name of the Lord, he shall be saved’ ; because,” said he, “how do I know that there might not be an other John Berridge in the world, to whom those words were addressed? But when I read, ‘Whosoever shall call,’ etc., I know I must be included.” —o— April 13, 1930 Why Everybody Needs Christ John 14:1-11.

however, in which the sovereign ap peared, they were not allowed to leave the prison; or, if allowed out on these days, before time for the sovereign to appear they must return to the prison, be counted, and locked up. Why? Because if one of those criminals managed to secrete himself and then emerge from his hiding-place to gaze on and salute his sov ereign as she passed in her royal apparel, he was a free man. Whatever his crime had been, the chains were struck off for ever. So Satan seeks to hinder us from looking unto Jesus for freedom and sal vation.

After the minister had left, the sufferer turned to the occupant of the bed nearest her own and said in tones of sadness, “I thought it would have done me more good.” Her fellow sufferer, an earnest Christian lady, quietly replied, “Ah, you don’t want it, you want Him." For thirty years, Dr. Matthews was a missionary in Madagascar. He tells us this in his autobiography : Prisoners were kept in chains but, as they had to earn their living, they were confined to the prison only during the night. On days,

Hudson Taylor—The Man Who Believed God B y M arshall B roomhall
The Jesus Road and the Red Man B y G. E. E. L indquist A most interesting and instructive book by an author with a background of wide experience and deep knowledge of his subject. It is primarily a study book, and prepared “ for use of teen age groups, pre- Easter classes, young people’s societies, Girls’ Reserves,” etc. The Bible studies are presented in a clear and forceful way, and if used according to the author’s plan should prove most effective.

Price $1.50. —o— The Accepted Time E dited by W. H oste , B.A., and R. M c E lheran In this interesting volume the editors have collated 25 sermons by such welL known authors as C. H.

M arsh The author of this book presents in a masterly and Scriptural manner the truth in harmony with the title.

Marshall Broomhall has given us in this volume the story o f a life that throbs with faith and devotion. The author’s aim “has been to reveal Hudson Taylor, the man himself, and set forth the secrets of his success as a leader of men, and as a master-builder in God’s work.” ,One is convinced, after reading the book, that Hudson Taylor’s life “was dominated from first to last by his conviction as to the utter faithfulness of God.” To influence a nation has been the rare privilege o f the few, but to leave an in delible impression for righteousness up on a people that comprises one-quarter of the world’s population comes only to a Hudson Taylor, the man who believed God. It was his passionate desire that every Province in China should be occu pied by the messengers of the Gospel. In the closing chapter of the book our au thor brings us to the fitting fulfillment of this; vision. ,It is an inspiring volume for both young and old and should be widely circulated by Sunday-school teachers and Christian workers. 244 pages. China In land Mission. Cloth. Price $1.00. —o— The Structural Principles of the Bible B y F. E. M arsh The author, in his foreword, states that this volume grew out o f a suggestion by Dr. Gambrell, of the Southwestern Bap tist Theological Seminary, that he write a book on “Laws of Biblical Interpreta tion,” or Hermeneutics. With this in view, he writes on such themes as the Bible a united organism; God’s wisdom manifested by the Cross; meaning and usage of the names of God; ministry of the Holy Spirit illustrated by the prepo sitions used; etc. Of very special value to the student and exegete are the sixty laws of interpretation, such as the law first mentioned, which gives the key to the meaning of a word; the law o f com parison ; the law of typology; etc. It would be impossible, in a brief statement, to do justice to many other valuable
