of God. We could wish that all our friends could possess a copy of this new book and thus prepare themselves to give out the Word to others. (Pick­ ering & Inglis) 6/- net. The Last Message of William Jen­ nings Bryan, with Foreword by Mrs. Bryan, by George F. Milton, Editor of The Chattanooga News. This is the undelivered address prepared by Mr. Bryan for the famous Scopes trial at Dayton, Tennessee. It is a summation of all that Mr. Bryan had gathered in defense of the orthodox position in his great fight against evolution. It would be a blessing if this book could be in every Christian home in America as an illustration of the real worth of the Bible, and of a man who was willing and believed it worth while to pour out his life in its defense (Revell) $ 1 . 00 . The Old Gospel at the Heart of the Metropolis, by Rev. John Roach Stra- ton, D. D., pastor of Calvary Baptist Church, New York City, and author of many books. Dr. Don O. Shelton, President of the National Bible Insti­ tute, says: “The use the better class of New York papers have made of Dr. Straton’s sermons is unparalleled. During the past 25 years I have not seen anything comparable to it. The other day one of New York’s most dis­ criminating and influential laymen said to me: T have read the reports of Dr. Straton’s sermons and have found him to be on the right side of every question discussed’ ” (Doran) $ 2.00 The Technique of a Minister, by Bernard C. Clausen, D. D., author of “Pen Portraits of the Twelve,” etc. Dr. Clausen is pastor of the largest Baptist church in the New York State Convention, with a membership of more than 2500. During his brief pas­ torate of three and a half years, he has preached to more than 400,000 at the regular Sunday services alone. Every department in the life of this vigorous and progressive church is being firmly maintained, and Dr. Clau­ sen in this little book tells how he and his associates have utilized the ad­ vantages of modern times to attain these results. (Revell) $1.25 BOOKLETS AND PAMPHLETS God’s Word and Man’s Word on Evolution, by R. J. Alderman, Alcolu, S. C. A helpful little pamphlet for the believer in verifying God’s Word con­ cerning the fallacy of evolution. 15c (Continued on page 502)

contribute something to the securing of a deeper spirituality, a profounder sincerity and a greater efficiency in the use of music in the evangelical churches. (Revell) $3.00 New Notes for Bible Readings, Com­ piled by S. R. Briggs, Toronto. These notes comprise not only those pre­ pared by Mr. Briggs himself (whose Notes on Bible Readings published some years ago had a very large dis­ tribution), but also readings from some of the noted Bible Teachers of this country. It is a pleasure to com­ mend this volume. Every Bible stu­ dent and minister will find here a storehouse of helpful subjects, all d ef| initely loyal to the Word of God. (Pickering & Inglis) 3/- net. The Progress of Old Testament Prophecy in the Light of Modern Scholarship, by W. J. Farley, M. A., B. D., Minister at Castlerock, County Derry, and Convener of the Theolog­ ical Examinations of the Presbyterian Church of Ireland. Rev. D. J. Findlay says of this book: “It is very interest­ ing and wonderfully concise. I think it will make an admirable text-book, and shall have no hesitation in recom­ mending it. I very much admire the way in which the author has put the technical details in foot notes and appendices.” (Revell) $2.00 The Great Themes of Jesus, by Wil­ liam Thomson Hanzsche, M. A., Pas­ tor Prospect Street Presbyterian Church, Trenton, N. J. Mr. Hanzsche has admirably accomplished his aim of presenting in simple terms and inter­ preting some of the great truths of Christianity. The style is clear, the ideas are set forth with force,- convic­ tion and with practical aim. The author says in his foreword: “If, in these days, this little book can breathe into our lives something of the spirit of Jesus’ sympathy, kindliness and re­ demptive love, it will more than ac­ complish its purpose.” (Revell) $1.50 One Thousand New Bible Readings, by Dr. F. E. Marsh. Dr. F. B. Meyer says: “To follow these Bible Readings will resemble the discovery of new paths through the forest or hills, and as we follow the track here marked out by an experienced guide, we shall catch rare glimpses of new, heavenly horizons.” Dr. Marsh is the author of a book with five hundred Bible Read­ ings, but these additional thousand are new. Many of our readers have been enjoying the articles by Dr. Marsh in The King’s Business and know his ability to handle the Word

New Pocket Edition of the Bible (Thomas Nelson and Sons). Easy- reading, self-pronouncing, good type, and contains maps of the Holy Land. Just the Bible for a Christmas gift for young people, as it has a “presentation page” for name, etc. $2.50. The Faith, the Falsity, the Failure of Christian Science, by Woodbridge R iley,, Ph. D., Frederick W. Peabody, LL. B., Charles E. Humiston, M. D., Sc. D. The most searching, poignant exposure of the pretensions of Chris­ tian Science that has yet been made. The three men responsible for the book stand high in their respective professions. (Revell) $3.50 Mounting up with Wings, by North- cote Deck, M. B. The author says: “These pages, written amid many dis­ tractions, on the ‘Evangel’ mission vessel in the Solomons, seek to set forth some of the unrealized possibili­ ties of the life of simple faith of every believer, and to urge each and all to expect, and obtain, greater things from God.” (Pickering & Inglis) 3/- net. Later Evangelistic Sermons, by Wil­ liam Edward Biederwolf. In this ser­ ies of sermons Dr. Biederwolf has hap­ pily preserved the individuality of the spoken messages— force and winsome­ ness—which have characterized his addresses wherever delivered and given him a name throughout the world as a successful evangelist. (B. I. Colportage Ass’n.) Paper, 25c; Cloth, 75c net. The Life Story of Alice Culler Cobb, by Mary Culler White. Another won­ derful contribution to missionary bi­ ography. There is- no lapse in the interest from the introduction of the heroine— the little senior at Wesleyan College— to the day when she— teacher, mother, grandmother, mis­ sionary-secretary—moves out of the dim passage-way that leads from the Land of Sorrow. (Revell) $1.50. Music in Work and Worship, by Ed­ mund S. Lorenz. In the preparation of this book, together with its com­ panion volume, “Church Music,” the author has had before him the needs of three classes; the students in the theological seminaries, the ministers in the active pastorate who feel the gaps left in their preparation for actual work, and the musical workers in churches— organists, choir direc­ tors and song leaders, who are ambi­ tious to excel. Back of all the practical purposes of the volume, the author has felt the urge of a strong desire to
