A popular English preacher pre sents some very practical observations on the prayer life for earnest believ ers. Various aspects of prayer are dis cussed—such as the habits and habi tat of prayer, the pattern and scope of prayer, and the problem of prayer. While these are familiar paths in books on prayer, a freshness of ap proach characterizes these messages. Many brief suggestive outlines are included. A good brief bibliography on prayer concludes the book. 125 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $1.50. The five chapters of this work ap peared separately in various Chris tian periodicals such as K in g ’ s B usi ness , M oody M o n t h l y and E t e r n it y . They present important phases of the believer’s experience, both subjective and objective. The pathways of pray er, knowledge, faith, consecration and service aptly present the Scriptural secret of the power-filled life. Young Christians as well as mature believers will find their experience enriched in using their Bibles with this book. 160 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publish ing House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $ 2 . 00 . n o w I Can M a k e P ra y e r M o r e E ffective By Herbert Lockyer Pa thw a ys to P ow e r By Merrill F.

Here is a discussion of the foun dations of the doctrine of the pre millennial return of Christ. The quo tations in the section on historical premillennialism are culled to some extent from secondary sources, but the review is worthwhile. Other bases are found in hermeneutics, the Abra- hamic, Davidic, and New Covenants, in ecclesiology, and in eschatology (the relationship between the tribu lation and the millennium). The book provides an excellent introduction to premillennial truth, conceived as it is upon an orderly presentation of the material. The Scripture index will be useful to the user. 160 pages; cloth; Loizeaux Brothers, New York; $2.50. The L ord o f the H a rv est By S. Franklin Logsdon These sixteen sermons have been subtitled The Manifestation and the Ministration of the H oly Spirit. The messages are devotional and horatory, not doctrinal, and are full of sugges tion and illustration. They will be found to be' true to the Word of God in every respect. 153 pages; cloth; Zondervan Publishing. House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $2.00. The M a ste r ’s Indwelling By Andrew Murray The author was Scottish in back ground, a minister of the Dutch Re formed Church in South Africa. His books on the deeper spiritual life have been a blessing to countless thousands. This is a reprint of a series of messages delivered at the Northfield Conference in 1895; they show from the Scriptures how the carnal Christian may pass from the defeat of self to victory in Christ through moment-by-moment yielded- ness to Him. 180 pages; cloth; Zon dervan Publishing House, Grand Rap ids, Mich.; $2.50.

The reader had best prepare himself to be alternately howling with laughter and holding back tears. The subject’s facility of expression and imagination (she frequently re ports the remarks of her guardian angel) is delightful.
