adequately documented and there is a good bibliography of recent books on the church. The one unfortunate feature of the publication is its price. It is far too high in terms of the book’s size, but it is easily worth the amount in terms of the contribution it can make to the local church. This book should be in every church library. Every pastor who is seeking to enlist the total support of every member of his church, should urge his members to read it, for it will revolutionize their thinking with respect to their role. 126 pages; cloth; Herald Press, Scottdale, Pa.; $3.50. — Reviewed by Dr. James H.

How many does it take? (There are 382,624 tracts here, if we counted right)
How many tracts do you suppose will have to be distributed before someone responds to the Lord Jesus Christ? We don’t know. No one does. We do know this— people DO read tracts. We pray that many will not only read, but also re spond. And many DO respond to God’s message of salvation. The catch is, someone must give them out— in letters, on street cor-
ners, in payroll envelopes, church visitation, in personal contacts, or any other way. Let’s release that catch...how many of these can God count on your distributing this year? Give away some tracts each day. Don’t have any? Write today for FREE CATALOG AND S A M P L E S -
