The Secret of the Universe B y N athan R. W ood Dr. W ood is President of Gordon Col lege o f Theology and Missions, Boston, Mass.

Writers and speakers can find in this book many illus trations to confirm the written Word. 174 pages. Marshall, Morgan & Scott. Cloth. Price $2.00. This message is a plea for the passion of saving men. It is a cry against the dead ening indifference that paralyzes so much o f ecclesiastical life. It is shown that such men as Finney and Moody were great in their own immediate work, and yet greater in the many triumphs accomplished through those whom they led to Christ. The pastor whose own soul is on fire can be the most effective of evangelists. 129 pages. Long & Smith. Cloth. Price $1.00. Stories from the Old Testament for the Little Child B y P aula M.
