Former and present Bible school students and other Christian workers may apply for membership in the Crusade, and after their application questionnaires and refer ences have been accepted, the Crusade not only recommends them to groups seeking assistance in neglected fields, but also plans to attempt to help them secure equipment for their work. As one means of giving openings for eager workers, the organiza tion suggests that Christians in unchurched districts provide lodging for these new help ers while a Christian work is being started. OUR LITERATURE TABLE The books reviewed below may be ordered through the Biola Book Room, 560 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, Calif. A Call to Prayer By VIVIAN AHRENDT On every page of this impelling book the theory and idealism of communion with the Father are illustrated by living examples of those who, in every sphere of fife, have tested Christ’s invitation to cast on Him all their burdens. Missionary heroes and invalid intercessors, as well as ordinary folk of the work-a-day world, have discovered that when the conditions of efficacious prayer are met, God answers definitely the petitions of His trusting children. Quotations of prose and verse, as well as the author’s own thoughts, reflect a crystalline devotion to Christ and a full dependence upon His faithfulness. 159 pages. Gospel Trumpet Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. The Preacher o f Today By JOHN A. MORRISON Writing from his own experience as a minister, and as a teacher of ministers for the last twenty years, the author with almost shocking candidness states the challenge of the Christian pulpit today. Domestic, financial, and social problems are faced with profitable.frankness. Laymen as well as those engaged in full-time work for the^ Lord will find help and inspiration for service in this unusual book. 136 pages. Gospel Trumpet Co. Cloth. Price $ 1 . 00 . New Days for Old By MARGARET WINTER BROWN Radiance and freshness of Christian experience is the keynote of this book of quotations. Each of the one hundred days’ meditations is a composite pen picture of what the Christian can be and do as he lives in Christ upon this earthly pilgrimage. One cannot read the volume without sensing a new joy in the salvation of the Lord Jesus Christ. 150 pages. The International Society of Christian Endeavor, Boston, Mass. Cloth. Price $1.00. Glorious Triumph By LOUISE HARRISON McCRAW Whoever has read Miss McCraw’s earlier book, Hearts That Understand, or her serial story in “The King’s Business,” Slarward, will expect her new book, Glorious Triumph, to be bright and appealing, with a wholesome emphasis upon spiritual matters. And these hopes are abundantly fulfilled. Betty Thornton, the story’s chief character, ^ is an attractive and popular young school ^teacher in the South. Through the experiences which crowd into her life, she comes to learn what joy there isj and what wisdom—as well as what altogether desirable rewards—in submitting life-choices to the Lord Jesus Christ. 278 pages. Zondervan Pub. Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. Ordered Steps By BERTHA B. MOORE Lovable characters from the North Carolina hills people this story of affliction and achievement. Approaching blindness cast long shadows over the young life of Caroline Wynn. The tenderness of the mountain bdy who loved her was as extraordinary and beautiful as were the bird songs Caroline could sing. Helped by friends, the girl and her parents gradually came to see that God’s purpose for them was “for good.” There is a wedding day at last—a day of restored vision for Caroline—and of great surprise! 276 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. “ Is Not This a Brand?” By PERCY RUSH Having been “sold under sin” for a number of terrible years, the author relates God’s story of grace in completely redeeming him.
