dividual pupil, are some of the ques tions which are dealt with in this handbook. The twofold achievement of good Sundaÿ-school teaching is em phasized—to win the s t u d e n t for Christ, and to lead him to so conse crate his life to the Lord that his whole being will be Christ-centered. Credit is given by the Educational De partment o f the Baptist Sunday School Board, Nashville, Tenn., to those who meet the l i s t e d requirements. 170 pages.

Already well-known through his biog raphies of Spurgeon and Moody, Dr. Day here sketches in masterful strokes the life story of Charles Grandison F i n n e y —the man whom God used mightily to kindle revival fires. The book is not so much a.life' of Finney as it is an evaluation of Tiis person ality and career, and a probing into the secret of his unquenchable spir itual power. The f a c t s themselves
It is significant that one of the fa vorite themes of “the prince of preach ers,” Charles Haddon Spurgeon, was the return o f the Lord Jesus Christ. In his preaching, he maintained the same emphasis upon this vital matter that the New Testament itself main tains. Perhaps t h a t is one reason for the power of his ministry. To présent in this volume seven of Spur geon’s sermons in compact form, Dr. Fuller has condensed the matter so skillfully as to take from it none of the warmth and appeal of the longer work. Here is a book that will stir the preacher’s own heart, and then the hearts of his hearers? 147 pages. Zondervan Pub. House, Grand Rapids, Mich. Cloth. Price $1.25. Finding that '‘some of God’s mighti est acts in the drama of providence and redemption,” as well as some of man’s saddest failures and most mo mentous decisions, have taken place at night, the author has devoted his abilities to discussion of sixteen of these memorable “nights.” The Night of Doom, of Dissipation, of Ship wreck, o f Repentance, of Tempest, of Agony—these, and more, are depicted graphically. The messages are fresh and searching; they furnish also an abundance o f sermonic material. 224 pages. Abingdon-Cokesbury P r e s s , Nashville, Tenn. Cloth. Price $1.50. Designating the sixty-ninth and sev entieth weeks of Daniel’s prophecy aS the “hidden break in God’s prophetic plan,” the author shows that failure to understand what is revealed in the Word of God concerning the period between Messiah’s rejection and the consequent setting up of the kingdom, is a failure that has led to most of the unscriptural teaching along pro phetic lines that is apparent today. Dr. Ironside is a careful student of the Word; he rides no hobbies. His work is clear and comprehensible. 131 pages. Zondervan Pub. House, Grand Rapids, Mich. Cloth. Price $1.25.
