James (Jacobus) Arminius (1560- 1609) was a strong Dutch Calvinist who found it impossible to reconcile his views with Scripture and so came to a mediating view of Scripture doc trine which is followed by many evangelical Christians today. As a matter of fact, most self-confessed Calvinists are really partly Arminian in doctrine. Arminius is well worth reading whatever the theological position of the reader. A sketch of the life of Arminius precedes the works. The first two volumes are translated from the Latin by James Nichols and the third by W. R. Bagnall. The publication of this long out-of-print work is a distinct favor to theological science. 669, 538, 570 pages; cloth; Baker Book House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $17.50. The third new revised edition of this work brings it up-to-date. In alphabetical arrangement it contains short biographies and bibliographies of American authors with data on their style and subject matter, sum maries and descriptions of hundreds of important literary pieces. The chronological index consists of com parative columns of literary and social history, replete with dates. 890 pages; cloth; Oxford University Press, New York, N.Y.; $10.00. Like a Mighty, Arm y By Charles W. Conn Well-written histories of the Pente costal movement are much needed to complement the histories of other denominations during the last cen tury. Very few of these exist. This history of the Church of God, with headquarters at Cleveland, Tenn., is written in the best historical vein with full documentation throughout, including bibliography. The appen dixes contain a vast amount of his torical data of vital import to the denomination. Let us have more history of this type from the other Pentecostal groups. 380 pages; cloth; Church of God Publishing House, Cleveland, Tenn.; $5.00. END.

Only For those few
This message is from the manag ing editor o f T h e K i n g ’ s B u s i n e s s and is only for those few who have a special interest in presenting the claims o f our Saviour through a magaz ine and tract ministry. Since 1910 T he K ing ’ s B usiness has been blessed with a world-wide ministry. Both the magazine and its tract reprints are growing faster today than ever before. If the Lord has given you a vision as to what can be done through the printed page we would ask your consideration of our continually growing need. As you give, we will print more tracts and send out more free subscriptions to hospitals, jails, army camps and mission stations. T he K ing ’ s B usiness is a separate, non-profit corporation and as such your gifts to this ministry can be deducted for income tax purposes. • Perhaps you’ll want to make a gift from time to time, and still others will want to remember this ministry in their will. For prompt and personal atten tion direct your gift or inquiry to Lloyd Hamill, Managing Editor, T he K ing ’ s B usiness , 558 So. Hope St., Los An geles 17, Calif. U R G E N T C A B L E ’; from HUNGARY 'S \ HEBREW-CHRISTIANS i Our missionary in Budapest has cabled: WE ASK FOR FOOD, CLOTHES AND MONEY. THE LATTER MAY BE TRANS MITTED ONLY TELEGRAPHICALLY. T o most non-Jews in H ungary, Hebrew-Christians are Jews. T o the Jews they are Christians and apostates. They receive little benefit, therefore, from the world’s response to Hungary’s need for material relief. Through our missionary we are able to channel help to Hungary’s Hebrew- Christians from the only source to which they can look— the Christians of Amer ica with a heart burden for the Jews. Without that help their plight can only become steadily worse. W rite today to: Dr. Jacob Gartenhaus, President

Poetry
Garments Of Praise H elen . F razee -B ower
There is but little doubt that Helen Frazee-Bower (see K.B., Dec. ’56) is today America’s number one writer of Christian verse. Her poems have appeared often in T he K ing ’ s B usi ness (sample: see page 29 of this is sue) and in such secular magazines as Harper’s, Saturday Evening Post, Ladies’ Home Journal, Good House keeping. Mrs. Frazee-Bower has the seldom- found ability of combining a moving spiritual reality with the very finest of poetic form. This is especially true in her sonnets. Garment of Praise contains a gen erous selection of poems to fit most moods and most occasions. The book has a valuable topical index. 95 pages; cloth; Bruce H um ph ries, Boston; $2.75. (You may order by mail direct from the author at 5 01 Jackson St., Campbellsville, Ky.) The Septuagint version of the Old Testament, f a m i l i a r l y known to scholars as the LXX, was a Greek translation made about 250 B.C. for use in Greek-speaking Alexandria, Egypt. It played an important part in the transmission of the Old Testa ment through the Christian centuries.
