Donald Rigg, son of Frank J. Rigg, ’20, E. S., has written to the Student Mission ary Union a letter which is of special in terest and is a challenge to prayer. Don ald and his wife are following in the foot steps of his father and mother, in going to Chile, where Donald had previously labored for seven years with his parents. He is a graduate of the University of Chile with the title of “Professor for the State,” and also had a semester of graduate studies in Spanish and Portuguese at the University of California at Berkeley. “Our youth and preparation we gladly offer to serve Him who died for us,” is the testimony of Mr. and Mrs. Rigg. Because of previ ous years of contact with students and pro fessors, Mr. Rigg is able to witness for the Lord more effectively, it would seem, than he would if going to an entirely new environment. Mr. and Mrs. Rigg are trusting the Lord for everything, and though three different missionary societies, unsolicited, offered to take them, they feei led to trust the Lord alone. They are at Casilla 70, Talca, Chile, South America. Fred de Vries, Salem, Ore., was presi dent of the' thirty-fifth annual convention of the Marion County Sunday School Council, held in February at Silverton, Ore. The program of the convention was an appeal to scriptural faith and conse cration as the true principles for national recovery. Mrs. Herbert H. Wise (Martha Wal ters, ’25) and her husband are living in Taft, Calif., where Mrs. Wise has a fine class of freshman girls and the freshman and 'sbphbmore B.Y.P.U. Herbert and Mrs. Eby (Verna Remple, ’29) have been assisting J. Carl Derfelt, ’26, in evangelistic services in Los An geles. Mr. Eby leads the singing, and his wife plays the piano and the marimba. The party expects to go to San Dimas soon, and then to churches in central California. George A. (’28) and Mrs. Birch, who are witnessing for Christ in Suancheng, Anhuei, under the China Inland Mission, write in January of the Lord’s answer to prayer for their little son: “Little David is a great joy and no worry to us now. He is the picture of health, and happy from morning to night. This is truly the grace of God, for the first year of his life he was very delicate. He is two years and two months old now, and can talk in Chinese and English. His Chinese has the real native brogue, whereas his parents find it hard to keep a foreign intonation out of their speech. David copies everything he hears. When we received an invitation to a feast the other day, we replied, ‘Thank you, I am so unworthy.’ David repeated, ‘Thank you, I am so unworthy,’ and he continued to say it for the rest of the day.” Born To Mr. and Mrs. J. Arthur Mouw, a daughter, Sydwell Donna, December 9, Sintang, West Borneo. Married Q. L. Davis and Harriet Hopson,’’29, January 13, Redwood City, Calif. Frank J. Hitchin, ’.29, and Helen V.

Y., and has been in Christian work in Ohio. Edward C. Phair and Frances C. Noble, April 7, Pasadena, Calif. Mr. and Mrs. Phair will be at home, after May 15, at 490 Pepper St., Pasadena, Calif.

liever has already received the Holy Spirit, and is, therefore, able to walk by that Spirit—bowing the heart and will in full surrender to Christ. Forty short chapters cover practically every aspect of the ques tion. The book should prove helpful to those who desire further light on this im portant subject, as well as to those who would expose erroneous doctrines. A valu able index of all texts used for reference is included. 210 pages. Pickering & Inglis. Cloth. Price $1.50. No description of the evangelistic minis try of D. L. Moody can reveal the spiritual life of this beloved servant of the Lord so clearly as his own sermons show his love for God and for jost souls. This collec tion of sermons, delivered during the first evangelistic campaign Messrs. Moody and Sankey held in England, is filled with liv ing messages for hearts that are hungry today. Among the subjects included are “Christ’s Boundless Compassion,” “The New Birth,” “The Blood,” and “Christ All in All.” 187 pages. Pickering & Inglis. Cloth. Price 50 cents. The B eginners and Primary Plan Book T he Junior Plan Book B y L ouise M. O glevee These two volumes contain representa tive plans and programs which a Sunday- school teacher has culled from her scrap book. Adaptation of the same material should not be difficult in any church school, for the plans do not call for elaborate or expensive equipment, and “everything has been carefully graded to meet the needs and understanding of the children.” Sev eral excellent missionary programs are in cluded, as well as definite instructions and drawings for handwork. The author points out the difference between “handwork” and “busy work,” and seeks to plan for this part of the program with as much care and thought as any other. The suggestions are pot correlated with any set course of Bible lessons, but they can be used in connection with nearly all types of lesson material. 100 and 78 pages, respectively. Standard Publishing Co. Cloth. Price $1.00 each. As the title indicates, this book contains forty-eight complete worship service pro grams. These programs are arranged in groups of four for each month. The sub jects are topical, according to the season of the year. The author has made many fine suggestions, but the lack of Biblical material and the standard church hymns, with which children should be acquainted, is very apparent. No doubt, this book would be a help to many who are inexpe rienced in planning the worship services for children—services that are built around a central theme. 208 pages. Standard Pub lishing Co.

T he New T estam ent and Psalms E dited by C. I. S cofield The late Dr. C. I. Scofield’s great work, the Scofield Reference Bible, has been of inestimable value to hundreds of readers. The Scofield Reference New . Testament and Psalms is also available—a book of convenient size, having the same page ar rangement and other exclusive features of the larger volume. Both the Bible and the Testament provide a synopsis of each book, explanations of seeming discrepan cies, revised marginal renderings, and Bible chronologies. 671 pages (7 x 4J4 inches)’. Oxford University Press. Prices vary according to binding: Cloth, $1.00; French morocco, $3.00; Persian morocco, $5.00. The Living Bible B y A mos R. W ells This handy little book provides a brief devotional comment for each chapter in the Bible. The readings are not intended as a substitute for a study of the Bible, but are an aid to such study. The titles of the comments help to make the application of the truth personal: “My Sins,” “My Brother,” “My Choice,” “My Intercession,” etc. The writer states in the preface that “these hundreds of brief meditations have been written in the spirit of prayer, and it is hoped that the use of them will intensify that spirit in all the readers of this book.” A meditative use of the book invariably carries with it the fulfillment of the author’s high desire. 343 pages. Board. W. A. Wilde Co. Price $1.00. Daily Communion B y S amuel M c P heeters G lasgow For family altar or personal devotions, this little book will be found helpful. In the foreword, the author comments: “It is the daily communion that lets God etch His likeness upon our lives . . . as we get apart and listen and let our Lord have His way in every area of our life, our feet find the path, and our hands the task, and our heart and lips the song—His path. His task, His song for us.” There is a page for every day, providing a scripture por tion, a meditation on the text, and a verse or two of a hymn. Daily assignments for completing the reading of the Bible in a year are also given. The index lists both Old and New Testament texts used. 399 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. The author recognizes the fact that there has been much controversy among Chris tians concerning the work of the Holy Spirit. Some “have been led to believe that the receiving of the Spirit is an exceptional and somewhat rare experience . . . instead of the common inheritance of every true believer.” Mr. Goodman has given a very practical and useful treatise on the per sonality and work of the Spirit, showing from the Word of God that every true be T he Spirit-Led Life B y G eorge G oodman
