THREE VITAL QUESTIONS ANSWERED (Continued from page 333)
Missionary Books We List Here a Rather Unusual Group of Excel lent Books— Do You Own Any of These? By Allen W. Johnston Mr. Johnston's latest volume lays new emphasis on a fact not seldom overlooked, namely, that, primarily, the Bible is the Book of the Jew. The Jew wrote it, his history is contained in It. and right down the centuries he has furnished irrefutable evi dence of the truth of its precepts and principles. Mr. Johnston reminds his readers anew of all that the Bible has been to the Jew, what it records of him, what It may yet mean to him. ana how that in it. Divine action has its pivot and focus, and one day, will have its innermost and ultimata fulfillment. Cloth $1.50 The Bible and the Jews By Margaret T. Applegarth With her usual ingenuity and charm in suggesting ways to interest and instruct children. Miss Applegarth gives programs and material for forty-five sessions—or five each month for junior and intermediate missionary travel meetings. The programs have a fascination because of their and. at the same time, are informing and practical. They deal with American Indians. Negroes. Japan, lKorea. India, Burma, Africa and foreigners in America. Each session is marked by a different dramatic story, with suggestions for costumes for children, hymns, memory verses and recreation suggestions and handwork- The drawings may be used for notebook work or for scenery. . , ... - . , 4. _ Many Bible schools and'junior mission bands will nnd tnese programs a remarkable help in interesting American boys and girls in other children less favored. . _■_ . . ____ Cloth $1.75 The Life o f David Brainerd Taken from hi* diary and other Private Writings, by Jona than Edwards; edited and abridged by Homer W. Hodge David Brainerd was left an orphan at fourteen, was expelled from college at twenty-three, became missionary to the Indians, and died of consumption at the age of twenty-nine after scarcely three years of active service in a strange mission field— not a very imposing record. Yet William Carey read his life and went to India; Robert McCheyne read his diary and went to the Jews; Henry Martyn read his journal and went to India. His work among the Indians, handicapped though he was by ill health and ignorance of the language, reads like a page from the Book of Acts— a thrilling record of spiritual conquest. The secret,— he spent much time in the powerhouse, and he prevailed with God. Time searching and communion with God, and an entire surrender and faith in his Master's working. Cloth $1.25 By George T. B. Davis A thrilling, gripping story this, with the very breath of revival pulsating through every page. The personal ex periences of the writer and others engaged in Christian work in the army of General Feng will be read with peculiar interest at this time when the papers contain almost daily reports regarding this remarkable man. The intimate personal glimpses of General Feng which the book affords, and the almost unparalleled difficulties and pitfalls which surround him will call forth, it is hoped, from countless Christian hearts such a volume of faithful, believing intercessory prayer as will safeguard him as only God can. The sitnple recital of some of the mil itary actions in China, and of how God has led and seem ingly showed his power in behalf of those who put their trust in him and whose whole desire was for peace and the highest good of their country, reads somewhat like a fragment from Old Testament times.

In the Gospel by Luke are these words: „ "In the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God unto a city of Galilee, named Nasareth, to a virgin espoused to a man named Joseph, of the House of David, and the virgin s name was Mary. '■ “And the angel came in unto her and said, 'Hail thou that art highly favored. The Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women, and behold thou ,shalt conceive in thy womb and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. He shall be great and shall be called the Son of the Highest, and the Lord God shall give unto Him the throne of His father David and He shall reign over the House of Jacob forever, and of His King dom there shall be no end.’ “ 'Then,' said Mary unto the angel, 'How shall this be, seeing 1 know not a man?’ And the angel said unto her: ‘ The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee. Therefore, also, that Holy Thing which shall be born of Thee shall be called the Son of God.’ With the* birth of Jesus Christ into the world— Infinite God, yet Man in flesh— a new creation was brought into the world, a new order began. The new creation is more explicable than the old. It is easier to understand the union of the Divine with the human than to understand a creative power able to form the uni verse out of nothing and to speak life Into rocks and clouds and senseless things. Power beyond earthly power must be back of every creative act, and the same infinite power that spake the worlds into existence, and that breathed the breath of life into human kind, may easily give His nature to His own creatures.
