tionalists to task for transferring “ the significance of the completest state ment of ethical principles we have from the lips of Jesus Christ to the remnant of believing Jews in a future age?” which he contends “ leaves us without an extensive statement from him on the ethical principles gov- erning disciples in the ages of grace” (p. 291). A considerable number of viewpoints on this great passage are dealt with by Henry with close scru- tiny. Dispensationalism is credited by the author with resisting the “ dismissal of biblical eschatology and its im port for ethics” (p. 550), but in this he thinks that it “ erects a cleavage in biblical ethics in the interests of debatable eschatological theory” (p. 551). This kind of critical analysis of all systems of theology with their concommitant ethical implications has not been available up to this time. 615 pages; cloth; Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co., Grand Rapids, Mich.; $6.95. Ch inese T e en -A g er s and, God By May Bel Thompson For those looking for missionary stories that are authentic and s im ulating, this book will be welcome. The author spent over 30 years in China in missionary education work and came to know China’s young peo ple most intimately. She describes them and their life with sympathy and brilliance and brings us as close to their problems and aspirations as can be done apart from actual con tact. The descriptions of the Christian character and influence of General Chiang Kai-shek and his staff are a chapter in international relations and Christian statesmanship that needs to be widely read. The author left ac- reading them. The author is in the ministry of the Evangelical and Reformed Church and a member of the Committee on Liturgies of that denomination.

There are many s tim u la tin g thoughts in this book of inspiration by the famous Methodist preacher of New York. There is a basic human istic philosophy exhibited in these es says which represent selections from the author’s syndicated newspaper features and his radio sermons. With discernment one can pick out much that is usable in one’s Christian ex perience, but caution should be ob served that one’s eyes are not taken off the divine supply of graces needed to solve life’s problems. 144 pages; cloth; Abingdon Press, Nashville, Tenn.; $2.00. H ealth Shall Spring F orth By Paul E. Adolph The author addresses himself out of a rich background of missionary and medical practice to the problems of tension and its emotional and physical implications and offers solutions to the various types of mental and bodily complications brought on by them. Specifically he deals, among other things, with fears, anxieties, worry and spiritual conflicts resulting from uncertainties of faith and disappoint ments in the struggle for perfection. Illustrative cases are cited in which the author’s patients have found re lease and healing. 127 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $2.50. The miracles are an integral part of the New Testament and of Chris tianity itself, yet there are few lay Christians that have a real grasp of them beyond the mere facts of the in cident. Laidlaw is one of the deeper thinkers in theological and biblical matters and will repay reading in this field. He is best known for his Bible Doctrine of Mem, but his ac quaintance should not end there. He died in 1906, and this volume was first published in 1900. 388 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rap ids, Mich.; $3.50. This is a reissue of the London edi tion of 1911. In seven messages Jow ett plumbs the depths of the passion of Christ and applies these truths to the Christian and his relation to Christ. The texts are taken from Mat thew and Paul’s Epistles. 125 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rap ids, Mich.; $1.50. END. The JHiraeles of Our Lord By John Laidlaw The School o f Calvarg By J. H. Jowett
