OUR LITERATURE TABLE Seven Great Aspects of the Holy Spirit’s Work By CHARLES H. ASHMAN Filled with doctrinal teaching and a positive message, this booklet in a practical manner presents truths concerning the Holy Spirit. The use of alliteration makes the outline simple and easy to follow. In its sane, Scriptural treatment linked with an inspirational tone, the discussion offers real help to those who desire to know the reality and presence of the Third Person of the Godhead. 16 pages. Charles H. Ashman, 510 W. Orange Dr., Whittier, Calif. Paper. Price 10 cents. The Hope of the Ages By ARNO CLEMENS GAEBELEIN Presenting in orderly fashion the fruit of many years of scholarly investigation, Dr. Gaebelein sets forth constructively the Messianic prophecies and the doctrine of the premillennial return of Christ. He discusses this great hope of the church as taught in the Word of God and then traces its his tory through the centuries. He deals adequately with a host of objections to literal fulfillment of prophetic truth, showing in specific passages the weakness of the “spiritualizing” or “figurative” methods of interpretation. Though recognizing the fanaticism and the as sociation with false cults which have brought into disrepute the teaching of this doctrine, the author shows it to be the view held by great Biblical schol ars of the past and present. The Hope of the Ages is a remarkable book, rich in material for all who desire to know and to present faithfully this aspect of “all the counsel of God.” 187 pages. Our Hope Publications. Cloth. Price $1.00. The Jew and His Destiny By EDWARD H ILA RY MOSELEY Recently revised and greatly amplified, this vol ume places in the hands of the student or preacher of the prophetic Word a wealth of readable ma terial on Scripture prophecy and present-day in formation concerning the Jew. Subjects consid ered include Biblical history and prophecy, secular Jewish history since xhe time of Christ, and recent commercial developments in Palestine. In a few of the statements about Jewish influence in finance, readers may wish for more careful citing of sources. The writer is a premillenarian and points to Israel’s history as a mighty evidence of the in spiration of the Word of God. 194 pages. E. H. Moseley, Gainesville, Tex. Cloth, $1.00; paper, 60 cents. Songs in the Night By CHARLES EDWARD H EW IT T Calling attention to the fact that “the nightingale gives forth its song . . . at midnight,” the author makes this application: “thus the spirits of the re deemed of the Lord have sung their sweetest hymns of praise in the midnight of their mortal trouble; for Christ is their Lord ‘who giveth songs in the night.* *’ Instead of chapters, there are fourteen “songs” presented in the book—each one being a meditation centering in a person or per sons to whom trouble became a means of grace. It is “for birds with broken wing” that the writer desires to have a particular ministry of encour agement and- hope. 124 pages. Loizeaux Brothers. Cloth. Price $1.00. Writing of the “Holy Spirit . . . the Adminis trator, the Executive of the Godhead; not a theory, but a reality; not a vision or an experience, but a Person,** Dr. Smith presents, in thirteen powerful chapters, conditions necessary to be met in the life of every* Christian. The book is the out growth of a crisis in his own life, and its prayerful reading, under the blessing of God, surely will lead to spiritual crisis and victory in other lives. 120 The Spirit Is Working By OSWALD J.

VIEWS AND REVIEWS [Continued from page 213] morality” were being used by students in some of the schools. The printed record of the investigating committees listed a number of books and magazines, “required reading" in the schools, which taught communism in one or another of its immoral forms. Congressman Jacobsen of Iowa characterized one of the books used by pupils as “indescribably vile.” Although much discussion was aroused at the time regarding the "school scandal” in our nation’s capital, the sub versive influences in the schools continued to operate undercover, according to Mr. Blanton. Official records for last year reveal the immoral harvest resulting from the sowing of immoralism among students.
