Sunday, December 8, when Universal Bible Sunday will be observed. At the conclusion of a forceful brochure entitled “ Coverdale Speaks” by Charles^ F, Wishart, the a u th or p le a d s: “ See to it that the Word of God is not bound. Release it for souls hungering after God; for those who mourn; for sin-sick and weary and doubting men and .women; for pilgrims who walk with faltering feet through the valley of the shadow. A very sacred trust has come down to us through these four centuries.” Universal Bible Sunday, while appropriately marking the conclusion of the period designated for commemorating the first printed English Bible, may also well be used to sound widely Dr. Wishart’s earnest plea. The Am e rica n B ib le S o c ie ty , Bible House, Astor Place, New York City, is issuing material free for pastors’ use in utilizing Universal Bible Sunday to the greatest advantage. Responsive readings (the text taken from Coverdale’s version), Scripture exhibits, stereopticon lectures, pam phlets, and p o s te r s are available. — G eorge W il l ia m B r o w n , General Secre tary, American Bible Society. Latin American Prayer Fellowship The Latin American Prayer Fellowship (undenominational), carrying on faith mis sionary work in Mexico among the In dians, has opened Los Angeles head quarters in the Willard Hotel, 536 South Hope Street. The director is A. B. De R oos; C. Carl Lyon is the treasurer. Mr. Lyon is planning on some deputation work, representing the Fellowship, A set of stere opticon slides will be one of the interesting features in connection with the presenta tion of this work. Harmony of Science and the Scriptures The question that is gripping the hearts o f many Christian parents, “What are the modern high schools and colleges doing to the religious faith of our children?” was uppermost in the mind of Harry Rimmer as he wrote the twenty-five booklets which are now offered as a single unit—literally a sharp-edged sword to pierce the bigotry of evolutionist teachings. Dr. Rimmer is head of the Research Science Bureau, and pas tor of the First Presbyterian Church of; Duluth. His, booklets are on the same subjects as his addresses, typical titles be ing : The Facts o f Biology and the The ories o f Evolution; The Theories o f Evo lution and the Facts of Human Antiquity; and A Scientist’s Viewpoint o f the Virgin Birth o f Christ. All of the twenty-five booklets, constituting about 800 pages of powerful argument and information, are gathered in a library container entitled “The Harmony of Science and the Scrip tures.” The Glendale Printers, Glendale, Calif., are Dr. Rimmer’s publishers and distributors for this set. The Winona Lake School ■ of Theology The Board of Directors o f Winotia Lake School of Theology, Winona Lake, Ind., has just released a report concerning the 1935 session, which indicates that the school enjoyed an attendance of sixty per cent increase over the preceding year. The 1936 session is to be held from July 9 to August 12. There will be two semesters o f fifteen days each. Winona Lake School of Theology is in terdenominational, thorough, and evan
CHRISTMAS IN CHANGSHA [Continued from page 449] from the youngest student to the most ma ture executive, “accounts” are “ reckoned” that day, and a new page made ready for the coming new year. As a fitting close o f this memorable day, the whole Institute family joins in remem brance of the Saviour’s death and prom ised return, as the Lord’s Supper is ob served. At no other time in the school year is this memorial service held at the Insti tute, although students and missionaries regularly obey our Lord’s instruction, “ This do in remembrance of me,” as they join in the worship »services - of the churches they attend. To me, it seems beau tiful and fitting that this sacred service of remembrance should be held at the Insti tute only when it has been preceded by a day of deep heart searching and prayer. The meaning of the Lord’s sacrifice, His keeping power, and His anticipated return seems clearer when one has thus had time to be quiet before Him. We are with that company of believers now, in thought. Night has fallen—the last night of the year. We are gathered about our Lord, being occupied with Him. There are many Chinese in the group, and a few Americans, but we are not conscious at this moment o f the unequal proportion. We are all one in Christ Jesus. His blood was shed for us all. His grace extends to all. And at His glorious appearing, we shall not be divided. In the hush of this evening, the last night of the year, there comes to our hearts a great longing for the coming of the time when from every tribe and tongue and people and nation, a multitude shall assemble in worship of the Lamb who ,is worthy to be praised. Universal Bible Sunday Many community gatherings have been held, many addresses have been delivered, many articles have been published, and many radio programs have been broadcast in recognition o f the four-hundredth anni versary o f the publication of Myles Cover- dale’s translation of the Bible. This nation wide celebration, according to the schedule suggested by the National Commemoration Committee, will formally conclude on
