OUR LITERATURE TABLE Books Available at the Biola Book Room Studies in the Gospel According to Matthew B y E. S chuyler E nglish Prefaced by the prayer “that a soul may be won to the Lord Jesus Christ through this book, or that a saint may be edified, and strengthened in the faith,” this devo tional and scholarly exposition of Matthew’s Gospel is a welcome companion to the study of that Gospel. The book first appeared as a series on the International Sunday School Lessons in Revelation, the evangelical periodical of which Mr. English is Managing Editor. Therefore in matter and method it is adapted to the use of teacher and student, pastor and layman. It treats dispensational and doctrinal questions fairly, presenting comprehensive Scriptural basis for conclu sions drawn. Mr. English has a gift for interweaving practical spiritual applica tions with deep theological truth. 226 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $1.75. Strange Short Stories by the Doctor B y W alter L ewis W ilson Those who have read The Romance of a Doctor’s Visits and Miracles in a Doctor’s Life need not be urged to read Dr. Wilson’s new book. His unique approach to spiritual truth is arresting. The short volume is a compendium of challenging analogies in Christian experience drawn from the com mon things of life. The Bible teacher and speaker will find the illustrations inval uable. 123 pages. Fundamental Truth Publishers. Paper. Price 35 cents. [Continued on page 156]

Though all the world is filled with fear, And hearts of men are sore distressed, I go my way in tranquil joy, For I know Christ, the Man of Rest. I know no care, no grief, no fear; I lose them all on Jesus1 breast; The peace of God abides with me, For I know Christ, the Man of Rest. O ye whose hearts are bowed with care, O souls so weary and oppressed, Come, lay your burdens at His feet, And find in Christ the Man of Rest!

Euodia Banquet N EARLY five hundred junior high and high school girls from Bible clubs of Southern California at tended the annual Euodia Club banquet February 19 at the Bible Institute. Fifty or more clubs were represented, and youthful enthusiasm ran high. After the banquet, which was made colorful by the head dresses, arm bands, and pompons of the clubs from various schools, Herbert G. Tovey led the song service and presented some of the Bible Institute students in an outstanding program of testimony and sacred music. Gordon E. Hooker was ac companist. With the background of a girlhood spent largely in China and of a term of joyous service for Christ in that land, Edith Dreyer, a young missionary of the China Inland Mission, spoke straight to the hearts of the girls concerning the possibilities for happiness when a girl’s life belongs to the Saviour. Teachers and club members alike Were made glad as several of the girls present accepted Christ as their Saviour. Of untold future influence were the many decisions to 'let Christ be Master and to follow Him wherever He may lead. It was a heart-cheering sight to all who attended to see this great company of girls, just a fraction of the number that attend weekly Euodia clubs, and to know that in these days of spiritual indifference God has His many zealous, consecrated young wit nesses in the schools of Southern California. Biolagrams N ic h o l a s s im p o n is , ’3 i , Sudan Interior Mission, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, Italian E. Africa, writes: “I was cut off from the outside world in Gojam since December, 1935, and only reached here September 9. Things began to happen late in November of 1935. First a revolution took place, and the rebel chief came on New Year’s Day of 1936 and camped right on our Mission compound. I was alone in Gojam at that period, but prior to the chief’s coming I had taken refuge in Debra Markos, an ’hour’s walk distant, by request of the government of Emperor Haile Selassie. Four other mis sionaries had arrived the day before. The first air raid was simply terrible, but after that it was not so bad, because everybody was going to the woods and the caves. The Lord surely undertook for us and time and again delivered us out of real danger. On July 20 I was told by the Italian authori ties that I must come to Addis. I left on September ;1, by plane, but we lost the way and were forced to land in a big plain covered with a foot of water. God surely protected us, for we could have smashed or fallen in unfriendly country. We were there three days, and the relief planes reached us the third day and brought food and gasoline which were dropped to us by parachute, quite a thrilling sight. We started from Debra Markos again on September 4 and reached Asmara in three and a half
