A Word for Wide-Awake Pastors “Whenever people are given a real taste o f intelligent and comprehensive Bible study, whenever they are shown something of the fascination and immense profit of studying the Bible for themselves, they re spond eagerly and thankfully. Many a minister has had the experience o f opening the Scriptures to a congregation of earnest and sincere church members who had not previously sat under ‘Bible preaching,’ or had had no opportunity to attend classes for real Bible study, and has been cheered and inspired by the responsiveness o f such people to a new presentation o f the in exhaustible riches of the Scriptures.”— The Toronto Globe. 1 Wide-awake pastors the world over are looking for better and more efficient methods o f teaching their people the con tents of the Bible, and when such a method is found, they eagerly seize upon it. Many have reached the conclusion that what they want is some kind of study which focuses the attention of the people upon the Word o f God itself, rather than upon a wordy literature about the Bible. Many thousands of pastors and Sunday- school teachers and students are satisfied that such a method o f study is now avail able in the “Through the Bible” course outlined by Harlin J. Roper, pastor of the historic Scofield Memorial Church of Dallas, Tex., which honors the memory of Dr. C. I. Scofield, editor o f the Scofield Reference Bible. Mr. Roper’s course directs the student in a study of the entire Bible, doing this by a question-and-reference method which requires the student to read and use the Bible for himself. The questions, given without comment, show the relation of the lesson portions to other parts o f the Word o f God. For a permanent record o f his work, the student finds room in the book lets in which to preserve his notations. It is easy to see that if one goes through the sixty-six books o f the Bible under the stimulating guidance of questions asked upon each o f the lessons, he will learn something of the great lines of truth run ning throughout the Book. In this series o f studies, the Old and New Testaments are covered in six years of fifty-two Sundays each. Each year’s study follows the familiar quarterly plan. Four graded courses have been prepared, for adults, the intermediate ages, juniors, and the primary ages. Though the emphasis is upon private study, the individual work could be used as a basis for Sunday-school class discus sions or for midweek Bible study groups. Inquiries should be addressed to the Bible Department, Scofield Memorial Church, Dallas, Tex.

Paper. Price 5 cents. These booklets and others, as well as numerous tracts, are published by The Christian Victory Publishing Company, 2909 Umatilla St., Denver, Colo. To say much in a few words is an art among preachers. Such skill is exhibited in this new book by John R. Gunn, author of One Hundred More Three-Minute Ser mons. The book comprises one hundred perti nent expositions of striking verses from the four Gospels. They are charged with terse sentences, suited to the pastor in his study, as well as to the layman in his home. As the title suggests, each exposition is brief, no one o f them occupying more than two pages, a few, less.. Some of the arresting titles are these: “A Preacher Who Thought Christ Had Failed,” “The Nemesis of Evil,” “ Pleading Alibis for Our Failures,” “The Man Christ Sent Back Home,” “ Singing through Life’s Dark Hours,” “Too Good for the Devil,” and “Porch Climbers.” 171 pages.

The book is written in charming style, with many Scripture quotations. 192 pages. Pickering & Inglis. Cloth. Price 75 cents. Norah, A Girl o f Grit by Beth J. Coombe Harris.

In this book, seven notable couples— Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob and Rachel, Jo seph and Asenath, Boaz and Ruth, Solo mon and the Shulamite, Ahasuerus and Esther, and Hosea and Gomer—appear not as mere historical figures, but as men and women with life, virility, and heart appeal. The uniting theme is the awakening of love in the hearts o f these men and maid-, ens. In dealing with incidents of Scripture, there is always the question of just how much imaginative material one may with safety and helpfulness: add to the simple facts which the Bible relates. That ques tion arises as one reads this book. But it is with delicate, sympathetic touch that Mrs. Turnbull reconstructs the settings for the scenes that she draws, and one feels that she is endeavoring always to adhere faithfully to the Bible account. That her work has been carefully done is shown in the fact that upon completing the reading, one feels drawn to the Word itself. 184 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $2.00. In this collection o f the testimonies of one hundred redeemed men is gathered impressive evidence of the power of Christ to meet the need o f individuals in every condition of life. The story o f these far- reaching conversions is told in consider able detail, often showing the providential circumstances and the particular portion o f the Word which God used to bring these souls to Himself. As Mr. Pickering has stated, the volume “calls upon rulers, statesmen, reformers, scientists, discover ers, explorers, preachers, philanthropists, martyrs, and others of all ranks of life to testify that ‘the gospel is the power of God unto salvation, to every one that be- lieveth’ (Rom. 1:16) ; and also proclaims that ‘if God did save such sinners as here in depicted, none need despair.’ ’’ 144 pages.
