The Heart of a Child B y V irg in ia T e r h u n e V a n D e W ater Reminiscences of the author’s early childhood and the deep impressions then created which molded and fashioned her life. Readers will catch glimpses of their own story, perhaps, and mothers will recognize the tremendous importance of wise and sympathetic action during this impressionable period. Interesting, in structive—valuable to those who have the responsibility of raising children. 225 pages. 7^ x 5^ inches. Cloth. Price $1.50. Postage—13 cents. “The Picture Map of the Holy Land” is the title of a new map published by B. R. Bowker Co., 62 W. 45th St., New York City, designed and drawn by Harold Haven Brown. A number of drawings appear on the map illustrating the out standing places of the Bible, thus making it most interesting for Sunday-school work. The journeys of the Children of Israel from Egypt to Jericho are traced. Four miniature maps showing the height of land, Jerusalem and its environments, the city of Jerusalem, and a profile view of Palestine showing relative heights and positions of important localities, add to the interest and value of this map. The new picture method adopted in the making of the map brings out most vividly Biblical events and thus makes it most profitable for use with children. —A. S. P. — a — New Map of Palestine
A Book That Evangelical Believers Will Read W ith K een est In terest SEEING THE FUTURE By Christabel Pankhurst The discriminating studies published in recent years from the pen of this gifted author assure her new book the immediate and thoughtful attention of conservative Christians. “What is the world coming to?“ is the question for which Miss Pankhurst seeks an answer. The signs of these times, including moral and social unrest, differences arising in the churches, international tension, the recent upheavals of nature, are examined from the standpoint of prophecy. Even modern science is called as witness, in a fashion perhaps unexpected, but most illuminating. A book that gives a satisfying and Biblical solution to the problems of this troubled world and of the individual Christian, looking forward to the believer’s glorious inheritance. $2.50 HARPER & BROTHERS, Publishers, NEW YORK CITY “ FOR OUR GENERATION WITH ITS CHANGED OUTLOOK AND ITS UNCHANGED NEED OF THE CHANGELESS SAVIOUR .” D a v id Sm ith ’s C O M M E N T A R Y ON T H E F O U R G O SP E L S

— o — Church History (2 Vols.) B y A ndrew M iller
Many will be glad to have these latest books on church history, published by Pickering and Inglis (London) and sell ing in the United States for $3.75 each. The first volume (351 pages) is devoted to the first 1,000 years of church history, from the apostolic age to the 10th cen tury. The second covers the period from the Crusades to the Diet of Worms (1067 to 1530). We note that a third volume is announced, covering the period from the Popish Refutation of the Diet of Augsburg to the year 1924. The author has examined many histories and brought together in short papers the most impor tant facts. It has been his desire to con nect this history throughout with Christ and His Word, so that the reader may re ceive the truth and blessing, through grace, to his soul. Ministers and Chris tian workers who lack practical reference books on this subject, will, in our judg ment, find nothing better than these books. —K. L. B.
