ment of Science, with over 14,000 mem bers, voted for evolution without a dis senting vote. Prof, Duncan finds Baby lonian analogies for the Genesis account of the origin of evil. Need we say more?

S. this book will cost $1.00. — o — T h rough Peril an d Flam e B y J. L. E rck

K ernahan Dr. Kernahan’s plan of visitation evan gelism is well known to the churches and it must be admitted that it has its merits. The great question is: “Does it work?” There is no doubt but that it works for time and eternity when it is put into effect by people who have a real vision of win ning souls. In an earlier book, Dr, Ker nahan told how the plan developed, and outlined specific suggestions for carrying it out. In this book published by Revell ($1.50) he gives concrete stories of re markable results attained in many churches. Those who read it should cer tainly be fired with enthusiasm for the winning of men to Jesus Christ. These stories cover the reigns of Saul, David and Solomon, and are exceedingly well told. The author made a study of reliable commentaries to get the manners and customs of the times, so the stories are fresh and attractive and adapted to fix the central teaching in the child mind. While this book is primarily for work ers with children and contains a chapter on how to use Bible stories, boys and girls woitld enjoy reading the stories them selves. Revell is the publisher. 221 pages, price $2.00.—O. G. B. — o — K ingdom S tories for Ju n io rs B y E lizabeth S. W hitehouse

The author of this book published by Revell is professor of Egyptology and As- syriology in American University of Washington, D. C. The book is intended as a textbook for school and home and may be called an applied archeology. It gives in concise form the bearing of these discoveries on some of the more impor tant teachings of the Bible. One does not have to read far, however, to discover that it is written from the viewpoint of the Liberalists. Its author finds two sep arate accounts of creation in the first and second chapters of Genesis, and tells us that probably the author found two dif fering accounts and so placed them side by side in order that everyone might read both traditions and see their agreements and differences. Similarly he tells us there are two differing accounts of the flood.
