and Betty Stam is the record of more than one victory. Triumphant, first, in their personal faith,*- and willing also to await God’s time for their marriage and the ap pointment of their life work, Mr. and Mrs, Stam walked steadily, in quiet, assurance, through .the whole o f their brief but very fruitful period of missionary ■service. When, with a stroke of the executioner’s sword, they were parted from their lovely three-months-old daughter, yet united with each other in the presence of their Lord, victory .consisted not in physical deliver ance, but in calm and Christlike submis sion. That the testimonies, of bereaved parents, of brothers and sisters, and of missionary colleagues should ring with triumph is as miraculous as was the rescue of the infant daughter who survived her parents’ death. No more challenging ac count’ of Christian heroism has appeared, in many months. 125 pages. China Inland Mission. Cloth. Price 75 cents. Easy Objects By E lmer L. W ilder .

Beauty for Ashes B y G race L ivingston H ill The sudden death o f her fiance, who was shot with a dancing girl in a New York cafe, plunged Gloria Sutherland into grief and disgrace. ' The tragedy became the, cause for her going away with her father from their palatial home and fashionable, worldly set to seek solace in the quiet vil lage of her father’s birth.

Qoth. Price $1.00. With an evangelistic motive that is evi dent throughout the book, the author has used prophetic warnings of imminent judgments to show the unbeliever’s per sonal danger and responsibility. Arresting subtitles help to attract the attention- of the casual reader, and the abundant use o f Scripture passages gives opportunity for the Holy Spirit to convitt hearts. An in dividual who had absolutely no knowledge of God’s Word could, with thisv.study in his hands, find a very clear presentation of God’s dealing with men through the-ages and of His plan of salvation. In addition to the dispensational chart and discussion, there are sections onsHulfilled prophecies regarding Jesus Christ, the marvel of the Word of God, and the teaching of Scrip ture concerning the: eternal destiny-Jof every soul. In its use for free distribution in Europe and through the Immanuel Mis sion to Seamen, the book has been greatly blessed ojjSGod in winning the lost. 85 pages. Max E.
