A'c.' .s1^. DILEMMA OF LIBERALISM Does not a Christian m inister who ac cepts thè new theology find himself in a dilemma? Modern religious liberalism has no answer to the questions th at lie a t the foundation of th e Christian reli gion. The new theology does not know What to do with sin. It has no message of salvation for the despairing sinner. It does not have a God who really answers prayer. It stands for agnosticism re garding the future life. Unless the mod ernized m inister has an elastic con science and has learned the a rt of dis simulation, he has, a t the open grave, only words of mock comfort such as Rob ert G. Ingersoll had at the grave of his father. God pity the preacher who .is supposed to have a. vital religious mes sage of eternal truth, but has in fact only non-essential, secondary, unfounded human suppositions to present, while leaving the people under the impression th a t he has something sim ilar to the Christian message. Is it any wonder that “many of the most enterprising and devoted men turn away from the Chris tian m inistry” when they accept the new theology?—John Horsch.

This contains some very tim ely m aterial on such topics as E arnests of the Coming Age; Evolution or Revolution; Sin and its Remedy; Heights and Depths of P rayer; and many o th er helpful chapters. We do not in every detail agree w ith his chapter on Divine Healing bu t th e book as a whole will be greatly appreciated- ($1.50) We w ant to commend to Sunday school w orkers two booklets th a t have ju st come to our desk from the Meigs Publishing Co. of Indianapolis, Ind. One of these booklets is en titled : “ Out line Chalk Talks” by P au l E. Holdcraft. This contains 64 pages of illu stration s to be used on the blackboard, covering in teresting and helpful themes. The other booklet is on “ P aper T earing” by ,L. O. Brown, explaining th e a r t of fold ing and cutting paper of objects, ani mals, insects, birds," fish, people etc., by means o f-w h ich the teacher of little folks may hold th e in te rest of the children while giving a sp iritual lesson. F o r instance, tearing the paper in the shape of a sword, giving th e appro p riate Scripture reference, showing how th e Bible is th e sword of the Spirit. Or a crown, speaking of th e crown of life, th e crown of love, the crown of glory, etc. We heartily commend these book lets.
