! Amazingly Interesting Books YES— we mean just that — splendid books to read and to enjoy while on your vacation, or at any other time. Mounting up with Wings By Northcote Deck “ The Marechale” By James Strahan
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL LESSON HELPS FOR 1027 N view ot some of the Inquiries which have come to us because of our Intended discontinuance after this year of helps on the Whole Bible Series of Sunday School Lessons, and a return to the former method of Incorporating the lessons in the maga zine itself, instead of Issuing them as a separate quarterly, we think it wise to explain, perhaps a little more in detail, our reasons for so doing. We are convinced, after some inquiry and investigation, that not enough of our subscribers are using the Whole Bible Lessons in their Sunday Schools to warrant the expense of preparing and printing helps for them, especially in view of the fact that there is much duplication of lessons between the Whole Bible and the International Series. For instance, the first thirty lessons in the Whole Bible Course for 1926 paralleled the nine months’ lesson covered by the International Series from July, 1926, to March, 1926, many of the lessons being identical in title and Scripture selec tions. The International lessons for the first three months of 1926 are in John’s Gospel, and the last half of the Whole Bible Series for 1926 are also in John’s Gospel. We wish it distinctly understood, however, that The King’s Business is still in heartiest sympathy and fellowship with Fundamentalists everywhere, and with the World's Christian Fundamentals Association, in particular. In fact, the Bible Insti tute of Los Angeles is, so far as we know, the only Bible School which is incorporated upon a definite statement of all the fundamental doctrines, from which it can never depart. It must be remembered that the lessons selected by the International Committee consist of the Bible only, without comment of any kind, and can therefore be used as a basis for a thoroughly fundamental study of the Word of God, such as will be given by the writers in The King’s Business. We are also planning a number of valuable additions to this department, so that all grades in the Sunday School, from primary to adult, will be provided for. For those who may desire to go on with the Whole Bible Course we recommend the publications of the Union Gospel Press, Cleveland, Ohio; Primitive Bible School Quarterly (76 cents a year, 20 cents a copy) containing helps for superintendents, teachers, and other adults, and also a sec tion on the lesson in simple form for boys and girls; Bap tist Bible Union Adult Lesson Leaves (each set, 16 cents a year, or 4 cents a Quarter); Baptist Bible Union Junior and Primary Lesson Leaves (each set, 16 cents a year, or 4 cents a Quarter); and the lesson exposition by Dr. Howard A. Banks, in the magazine “ Christ Life’’ (Monthly, $1.00 a year, 10 cents a copy). -¿>4, j m III Have you arranged for your copy of “Scriptural Inspira tion vs. Scientific Imagination” mentioned on inside front covert Better “ do it now" and avoid disappointment.

Cloth $1J0 The title does not imply an Indian interpretation of Christ by the author, who is a widely known missionary and evan gelist in India, but rather an effort to describe how Christ Himself is being separated from organized Christianity and so becoming naturalized in India. “ India has seen a Figure who has attracted her. She has hesitated in regard to any allegiance to Him, for India has thought that if she took one she would have to take both—Christ and West ern Civilization. Now it is dawning upon the mind of In dia that she can have Christ without Western Civilization. That dawning is of tremendous significance to them—and to us.'* Cloth $1.00 Fine Gold By Josephine Hope Westervelt An absorbing story, with a well-laid plot that keeps one guessing about the outcome to tne very last page, and yet un- usuallv full of sound Christian truth and appeal. The greater part of the story is that of a young missionary seeking for souls as other men seek for gold in the interior of South America, and the author has given much information and a true glimpse of the conditions prevailing In our sister con tinent that will bear careful study. There are many fine lessons for young people in the book, and a charming ro mance runs through the whole. Cloth f t .25 The Christ o f the Indian Road By E. Stanley Jones
Dr. Deck is a missionary in the South Sea Islands. This book, however* is not a narra tive of missionary experiences, but a setting forth o f the pos sibilities of the life of faith. There are seventeen Chapters on such topics as “ Re-digging Old Wells, “Civil War in the Soul,*' “ Mounting up with Wings,** “ No Greater Joy, etc. Spiritual and helpful. Cloth $1.25 Streams in the Desert Compiled bv Mr*. Chari*, E. Cowman Daily readings for a Year» each comprising a text and a page or so of original com ment or—most frequently— quotations. Their character is. deeplv spiritual. There are many other daily devotional books, but we have never found one quite so sat isfying in every way. The readings for every day— or any particular day— seem to ex actly meet the need of that day. There is no other book like It. Beautifully bound In special cloth $1.50. The Laughing Buddha A Story of China in Revolt By James Livingston Stewart The author has been a mis sionary in China for twenty- three years. The Laughing Buddha is written against that background and the conversion to Christianity of Lee-Chee, Its chief character, his sweetheart and her mother. Madam Chang, makes of it a missionary docu ment. To the student of com parative religions it has value through its bright exposition of Buddhism and Taoism. But it is primarily an exciting ro mance of love and adventure, well told, .and “a source of authentic reference concerning the manners, customs, habits and conditions of living today in West China.** Cloth $2.00 The Joy o f Discovery By Dr. John Richelsen “ This book contains fifteen very suggestive sermons which are original and helpful. Each sermon is the development of some thought of the text, taken in a practical and sug gestive way.

Dare of Christ,* 'Impossible Neutrality,* 'The M a g n a t i c Christ,* The Defeat of the Strategist,* b u t there is no misinterpretation of Scripture for the sake of originality. The sermons are of a high grade and of very helpful na ture.** Cloth $1.25 If b o h , doM M l ■acompoar ordUr, #ood, win I t Mat C. O. D , If book, tra to coata bjr nail add 10% far paataf*.
