Greater Love Hath No Man By DAVID P. ALLISON
of Christ” is the keynote of this reflective and inspiring song of praise to “ yon lovely Man.” One’s intellect is exercised by the logic of divine love traced on these pages, ana one’s heart is drawn to the Eternal Object of human adoration, the Lord Jesus Christ. 125 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publish ing Co. Cloth, ¿1.00; paper, 60 cents. The Epistle o f Paul the Apostle to the Ephesians By HAROLD F. PELLEGRIN. Being devotional rather than critical, this book furnishes food for the spirit as well as for the mind. The#conflicts and victories of the one who is growing in grace are penetrated with a sympathy born of understanding. The reading of every one of the many pages is as refreshing as the dew of the mornmgj. to the soul desirous of walking^ in the Way, knowing the Truth, and living the Life. No other work on Ephesians has so challenged this reviewer to “ fight the good fight of ‘faith” as has this powerful book. 892 pages. Zondervan Pub lishing House. Cloth. Price ¿3.50. Singable Songs o f the Century Compiled by HAROLD ALEXANDER With a large number of the best old hymns' is combined a selected group of modern gospel choruses in this new song book. Those chosen are free from a deplorable cheapness which too often characterizes present-day religious tunes. The thought and musical composition of these songs are dignified according to the sublime message of sal vation which they tell. They have sung their way into the hearts of thousands. 133 pages. Harold Alexander, Publisher, P.O. Box 321, Los Angeles, Calif. Paper. Price 30 cents. Exposition o f Hebrews Six By J. B. ROWELL By approaching in a new way the problem con tained in Hebrews 6:4, concerning those who have fallen away, the author has accomplished an inter esting study. Instead of believing that this difficult passage refers to a question of salvation, as most students of Hebrews have heretofore explained, he holds that the reference is to rewards, a consequent consideration of salvation. His analysis is scholarly, and receives the approbation of such men as North- cote Deck, Marion McH. Hull, and B. B. Sutcliffe. 21 pages. Dallas Theological Seminary, Dallas, Tex., or from the author at “ Woodville,” R. R. 4, Victoria, B. C., Can. Paper. Price 25 cents. Carefully written and prayerfully conceived, this volume recording progress of the gospel in South China is most valuable in its information, both spiritual and general. ^ Special data concerning the evangelism of primitive tribespeople comprises a large portion of this worth-while missionary book, which is a substantial contribution to mission lit erature. 208 pages. Christian Publications, Inc. Cloth. Price ¿1.00. By approaching spiritual truths through illustra tions from the natural world, the author of this volume of sermons has caught the spirit of the Scriptures which frequently proceed from familiar to unfamiliar truths. For example, in his message on “ God’s Husbandry,” he declares that “ the heart soil of humanity belongs to God,” but that it has been ruined by Satan “ who invaded the spiritual gardens of men’s hearts^ and ruined the crop of righteousness by sowing sin.” Originality of thought as well as keen spiritual acumen distinguish nis sermons consistently. 159 pages. Fortuny’s, Pub lisher, 45 W. 45th St., New York City. Cloth. Price ¿1.50. Convinced that spiritual life is expressed in normal Christians by a continually victorious expe rience, the writer of this book, who has served God in Sweden, America, and Africa,,devotes him self to the appeal for complete abandonment to the will of God. His writing vibrates with living illustrations of Bible heroes and saints of all ages who have given their lives—many as martyrs— that the name of Christ might be glorified. Few books combine deep spirituality and gripping style as successfully as does the present volume. 156 pages. Conference Press, 912 Belmont Ave., Chi cago, 111. Cloth. Price ¿1.00. Believing that, as the Chinese say, “ a good pic ture is worth ten thousand words,” Mr. Floherty has produced a reference book having 100 story telling illustrations, designed especially for readers of high-school and junior high-school age. It deals with a major national problem— safety on American highways. There are 278 questions to test the reader’s grasp of the facts. ^ 168 pages. J. B. Lippincott Company. Cloth. Price ¿1.75. Pioneering in Kwangsi By WALTER H. OLDFIELD Sparrows and Men By CLARK J. FORCEY Full Surrender to God By ARON ANDERSSON ‘‘ Youth at the Wheel By JOHN J. FLOHERTY
The Girl o f the Listening Heart By BERTHA B. MOORE “ Betsann” tells the story herself. She is^ an altogether fascinating person, with a schoolgirl’s love for faithful Jimmy, with an^ amusing confi dence in her abilityI to write prize stories, and with surprising reactions to city life in Charlotte. Because she is so real, “ Betsann” gives naturalness to the presentation of spiritual truth. Portions deal ing with salvation have exceptional interest-holding qualities. 188 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publish ing Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. A Philosopher’s Love for Christ By WILLIAM H. WRIGHTON. Ardent in his devotion to Christ, the writer, head of the Department of Philosophy in the University of Georgia, beautifully expresses his love for the Lord through the phraseology of the Song of Solo mon as a basis for his meditation. “ The loveliness SEND THE GOSPEL TO A MILLION SICK! Tour gifts and prayers will bring comfort and salvation to hearts prepared by suffering. Let our workers distribute Bible portions and Gospel tracts in His name—and for you to T. B. patients, Ex- Service Hospitals, Rescue Maternity Wards and hundreds of thousands of other sick folks. Help advance this work. Truly the need is great.

Readers who enjoy tales of the picturesque South will welcome this story. Eric North, gathering material for a Civil War novel, finds himself faced with love, loyalty, and a bloody fifty-year-old feud. The book has a fine gospel tone. 220 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing Co. Cloth. Price ¿1.00. The New Adorning By CAPTAIN REGINALD WALLIS Whoever would respond to the necessity which is laid upon the Christian to “ adorn the gospel” will find practical help in this series of four meditations. “ If a room is adorned,” Captain Wallis observes, “ it is made attractive . . . Is your ‘fundamentalism’ sweet, and magnetic, and appealing? Are you wearing what you believe?” The prominence which is given to the subject of clothing in the Word of Goa—both physical and spiritual adornment— is strikingly set forth. 65 pages. American Bible Conference Ass’n. Cloth. Price 80 cents. Deputation W ork L. M . Anglin, with his wife, two Chi nese gentlemen, and a little Chinese girl, is in America and is available for speak ing engagements, representing the Home of Onesiphorus, Taian, Shantung, China. Pic tures of Mr. and Mrs. Anglin and facts about their work are found on page 125. STIRRING NEWS FROM CHINA [ Continued, from page 91] at Kikungshan, were also evacuated to Hongkong. “ In the city of Changsha, by order of the Commissioner of Education, all the primary and middle schools have been ordered closed. The large Yale-in-China middle school has been closed also, and a number of their staff— foreign and Chinese —have moved. The Temporary University which has been occupying our premises, that is, the combined schools of Tsinghua, Nankai, and Peking Universities, is giving its examinations on the twenty-fourth and closing on the twenty-ninth of this month. There is no announcement of the date of reopening! “W e are happy that the Biola Evange listic Bands [gospel teams of Chinese Christian men] can continue. I have just received the reports from the five Bands for the last quarter of 1937, and find that over 10,000 families have been visited with the gospel, by, personal visitation of the Band members. Numerous meetings have been held, and a goodly number of persons have accepted Christ. The Bands report that everywhere the people are more than willing to listen to the gospel. May it not be that China’s sorrow will prove eventually her salvation? “ Although my family has returned to Hongkong, I have been most privileged in having two fine Christian Chinese gentle men move in with me, Professor Allen Yin of Tsinghua University, and Honorable Ernest Yin, Financial Commissioner for Hunan (not related to each other). T o gether, we have organized, a Bible class for students here on our campus. Last Sunday, over fifty were in attendance . . . A few weeks ago, before our families evacuated, Mr. Yin invited the new G ov ernor of Hunan to his home for evening- dinner, and after dinner we had a Bible study period and prayer. The Governor is, well acquainted with the gospel and has read the Bible through, and is very much interested in prophecy. Pray that this man so near the kingdom may enter fully into the blessings of the gospel.”
