take up the work I had refused, and would send you as a missionary to the foreign field,- end that in some way He would let me know it 'without my making the effort to find out. I wanted it to be a token from Him. But as the years went by, I realized that I had no right to ask Him for a sign, and I told Him that I did not need any sign as an assurance, for I knew I had been forgiven. But I have prayed every day since then, and many times a day, that if my son still lived he would not be the^coward I was but that he would follow along in the path that God wanted him to walk in. "The peace of God which came to me" is the richest thing that life could bring me. It is a choice gem, the ‘ Pearl of Great Price,’ and there is no sacrifice too great to make to obtain it. That to me is the richest gift the years have brought; but to have also my son and his assurance of for* giveness and love makes my cup run over. For this I thank God.” The cable was sent the next morning and when the answer came two days later it read: “ Have wonderful surprise for you both. Am embarking tomorrow. Due to reach you about Thanksgiving Day.” William and his father tried to guess what the surprise 1' could be. Both had the same hope in their hearts but would not speak of it to the other. During the intervening days, father and son spent the time in doing the necessary work, in talking and taking small trips to the near-by villages. Will Morehouse had dis patched a letter to his head man on the farm of which he was superintendent, and then he settled down to. .wait for his boyhood chum. Jack Harmon came through in good time, and such a season of rejoicing as the little group had. All the explana tions had to be gone over again for Jack Harmon’s benefit, and Will Morehouse’s life was richer and fuller in the things of earth than had seemed to him in any way possible. “ To think that I deliberately chose not to follow the Lord, though I distinctly felt His call, but chose to follow my own way alone!' Oh! the bitterness, the sorrow, the suffering to myself and others that followed, until God brought me back to Himself. Of course I could not begin whfere I had left off, for I had made that impossible by wandering so far and so long from God, but since I found peace with God, wherever I have been I have sought to tell others about Him. Six months ago I met a wealthy Peruvian in Chile, and when I found that he wanted a competent man to take charge of one of his large farms I came with him to Peru. I had heard of this mission farm, not, however, without keen regrets that I could not feel free to offer myself for such work. I have never met a missionary without suffering much because of my own turning back, and yet I have sought to help their work as much as I could,” He explained that the name Fernaldo had been given him years ago because of his connection with a man by that name, so he had used it ever since, feeling that it made no difference to any one, since he was supposed to be dead. In the first rush of greeting and explanations Jack Harmon’s surprise was forgotten until Jack Harmon himself called it to mind. “ But my surprise,— you haven’t asked what it was.” “ Oh. tell us. Uncle Jack! Don't keep us waiting.” begged William. “ Can you ever forgive me, William? I took that money and drove your father into exile.” (Concluded on next page)
The Supernatural Jesus
By Rev. George W. McDaniel, D.D., LL.D. This book is a significant contribution to the present- day discussion of the character of t^ie Master. It adduces facts and deduces conclusions from those facts regarding the supernatural nature of the person and work of Jesus. Dr. McDaniel skillfully and succinctly discloses the heart of the evidence according to Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and Paul, and prepares the way for a thorough and illuminating treatment of such leading subjects as the Virgin Birth, the Resurrection of Jesus, the Deity of Christ, the Mistakes of the Modernists, the Truth about the Bible and Science. The author has concentrated on his purpose; " T o discuss the evidence in the hope of leading inquiring, minds to truth, unsettled minds to cer tainty, and believing minds to a fuller appreciation of the supernatural Jesus.'* Cloth fl*78
The Confidence of Faith

How many can you list? This book is so concise, so comprehensive, so winning, that you will'revel in the revelations of thoughts you have vaguely wanted to nave concerning Christ. Cloth $1.28
By J. Stuart Holden, M. A. A choice volume of devo tional material, the general trend and theme of which is the necessity that has arisen in these later days, for a steady, deeply-rooted confi dence in things, that are eter nal. The troublous d a y s through which the world is now passing have brought per- lexity to many loving hearts. _ or all such, as well as for believers everywhere, Mr. Hol den's new book breathes a message of enheartenment. Cloth $1.00
The Religion o f Power
By Harris E. Kirk •With remarkably keen analyses the ■ author takes us through fhe quests of the religions of antiquity— the rit ualism of the Eastern religions, the ethical goals of Greece and Rome, and the legalism of the Jews. But these were insufficient for the age in which Christ was born. There was a growing moral passion running far in advance of organized religion. This the new religion was able to lay hold of, for above all things else it was a religion of power. This has always been the char acteristic of triumphant Christianity. This is an exceptional book— is just what you will enjoy and appreciate sharing with friends. Cloth $2.00 The Purpose o f God By C. C. Taylor It it always refreshing to read a book that allows the Bible to be its own witness. Frankly espousing the super natural premise, the writer takes us down the stream of Old Testament history, pointing out the evidences of God's purpose as revealed in the national life of the peo ple, and rightly insisting that these finger-boards point to the uniqueness of the Bible and constitute a challenge to every right-thinking person. Being essentially an apolo getic interpretation and defense of the Old Testament, it contains discussions of revelation and inspiration, God and man, sin and law, religion, prophecy, and criticism. The spiritual lessons drawn from those stirring events lend the book a devotional as well as scientific character, making it a faith-builder of real merit.
