Immanuel Hymns R eviewed B y J ohn B. T rowbridge This hymnal is one o f the finest col lections of hymns that has come to our attention. There are 582 musical num bers. In many ways it is the “last word” in hymn publication. In mechanical makeup it has the best of attractive and substantial binding— large and clear type—uniform and cor rect arrangement of metrical names—and an absence of the commercial aspects so objectionably present in many books issued by purveyors o f church song books; no copyright notices on hymn pages warning one to “keep off,” no “schedule o f prices,” no obtruding per sonal notices that tend to draw attention away from the hymn content of the book. There are the usual English classics without which no hymn book is complete, •such as “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross,” “Jesus, Lover of my Soul,” “ Lead, Kindly Light,” and “Rock of Ages.” We are giad to note that the last-named hymn, in many ways the greatest in the language, has the full four stanzas instead o f the garbled three-stanza edition found in some books. This careful attention to purity o f text is adhered to throughout the book. The comprehensive scope of •the hymn material here found is also il lustrated by the inclusion of many selec tions from that greatest of all hymn sources, the German. Here we find Luth er’s “A Mighty Fortress,” Rinkart’s “Now Thank We All our God,” Zinzen- dorf’s “Jesus, Still Lead On,” and Ters- teegen’s “Thou Hidden Love of God.” Of the music material there is a rich vein o f new things. Every fifth tune is a new one. A large number of rare themes adapted from classic writers—-Grieg, Sin- ding, Haydn, Mendelssohn, and others— strengthen this feature o f the book, and many beautiful and very singable tunes from folk-songs are included, drawn largely from German and Scandinavian sources. The selections for Scripture readings are splendidly arranged in the back part of the book, and the indices of tunes arranged alphabetically and metrically, as well as those o f hymn subjects and “first lines,” are all that could be desired.

Sunday School Lesson Helps Peloubet’s Select Notes By A mos R. W ells
This old and well-known commentary continues to maintain a high standard. With some of the exposition, especially on prophetic questions, the readers of T he K ing ' s B usiness : might not be in harmony. The tone is lofty, the author’s loyalty to the Christ o f the Scriptures is unquestioned.
The Gist of the Lesson By D r . R. A. T oerey
Dr. Torrey’s voice is silent but he speaks again through this little book, which for the past thirty years has been a great help to Sunday-school teachers and pupils. Its rich and faithful exposi tions o f Scripture are valuable beyond compare. Snowden’s Sunday School Lessons B y J ames H. S nowden Dr. Snowden does' not aim to give expo sition and exegesis so much as practical lessons. Yet it should not be inferred that he departs from the Scriptures. Sometimes he seems to stress the “so cial gospel” a little too strongly. It is difficult to appraise this commen tary. It has a wealth o f useful material, both illustrative and practical. But it can not be wholly commended. Very fre quently it shows a definite and strong leaning toward Liberalism. If used at all, it must be used with discretion. Voices from Rocks and Dust Heaps of Bible Lands B y J. A. H uffman Dr. Huffman has presented in popular language a few great facts concerning modern discoveries o f the archeologists. The relation of these discoveries to the Bible is discussed in a most interesting way. The book is by no means a com plete story of the findings of archeology, nor is it intended to be such. It will cause the reader to have an appetite for more of the same sort. The book could well be used as a textbook in Bible schools or private Bible-study classes. 132 pages. 7% x 4 inches.
