This is an epoch-making volume on church finance. It covers the entire field of the present situation, which is one of la mentable retrenchment along all lines of missionary activity, and it points out a method o f education and organization that is reasonable, businesslike, scriptural, and workable. The Sunday-school is perhaps the most available and the least recog nized agency for the training o f systematic givers. Mr. Flake shows how a unified plan o f church finance will solve this most perplexing problem. 194 pages. Revell Co. Cloth. Price $1.25. When the Swans Fly High B y F. W .

Mr. Tovey’s new book will be of real in terest to every gospel singer. As far as we know, it is the largest and newest book of its kind.

While the book is built upon a founda tion of old favorites, such as “ The Haven o f Rest,” “A Clean Heart,” and “The Handwriting on the Wall,” ninety per cent o f the material is new. Care has been taken to select only those songs that have a per sonal message and are true to the Scrip tures.
