pound that night, a young woman came up to me and said, ‘Hello, Uncle Fred.’ “ ‘Who are you ?’ I asked. “ ‘I am Deacon Jones’ daughter from Podunk, Iowa. I grew up in the community where you were reared, and I was con verted in the revival meeting in the church you attended, and now I am in China as a missionary.’ “ Another girl came up and said, ‘Hello, Uncle Fred.’ “ ‘Who are you ?’ I inquired.. “ ‘I am Elder Smith’s daughter from Podunk, Iowa. I was converted in a series of evangelistic services held in the church where you were converted, and I am out here as a missionary.’ “Another girl came in and called out, ‘Hello, Uncle Fred/ “ ‘Who are you ?’ “ ‘I am Trustee Johnson’s daughter from Podunk, Iowa, and I was converted in the winter revival meetings in the church where you grew up, and I am out here as a missionary.’ “ There were three missionaries in China who all had been converted in an old country church that had a protracted meet ing every year from corn husking until seeding time. Recently I was in a great church in New York, and I told this story. When I had finished the story, I turned to the pastor and said, ‘Dr. J----, you have a great building and wonderful equip ment here. How many missionaries have you sent to China?’ “The pastor stood to his feet at the conclusion of the message and said with a tremor in his voice, ‘Mr. Smith, you have touched us at a very sensitive point this morning. So far as I know, this great church has- never produced a missionary. When we want a missionary, we have to go to some old-fashioned church that has a protracted meeting every winter.’ ” Mr. Smith concluded with this challenge: “Brethren, we had better get back to the old Book and the old gospel.” Christian friends will understand the feeling in the heart of the writer as he clasped the hand of Fred B. Smith and said, “ I have been praying for you for years, and as I sat listening to your mes sage this morning, I felt that these pray ers have been answered.” Comments would seem to be superfluous. The only thing that produces results for eternity is the gospel of Christ which is the power of God unto salvation. Let us preach it faithfully and simply, knowing that God will honor His own Word. The final observation is also obvious. Let us pray for modernists; not all of them are beyond hope. They are deluded by the pride of the human heart and by the blinding power of Satan. Some of them at least can be, and will be, delivered by the prayers of God’s people. — Prophecies for Plain People B y W IL L IA M L . P E T T IN G IL L Is Prophecy to be understood?

MILLER NEATBY Recounting the outstanding archeological discov eries of recent years, this volume is intensely fasci nating and of great value to the Bible student.

Crucifying Christ in Onr Colleges By DAN GILBERT Not mere generalities are given, but specific evi dence is produced^ in this courageous volume which covers such questions as these: Why do so many young people who attend modern colleges repudiate faith in God? What part do educators play in this modern tragedy, and what influence is^being exerted by godless textbooks? In collaboration with stu dents of four universities, Mr. Gilbert has amassed startling information. He uncovers conditions that are appalling. He uses names and titles— without fear of successful contradiction. For any person who has a love for young men and women-—or for the young person himself— this book may have a terrifying message; but it is like the warning signal whose purpose is the averting of loss of life; it dare not be ignored. 234 pages.
