T H E K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S Biblical criticism one might be tempt ed to consider him wrong, than any modern commentator is, when one may feel inclined to regard him as being right.” This word of testimony, given spontaneously, sums up the whole case for Matthew Henry. Almost every where preachers wearied of the hair splitting, comma-chasing “ anise and cummin” methods of the modern exe- getical school, turn with relief and gratitude to the old English divine for suggestion, counsel and guidance, in the preparation of their work. Through succeeding generations Mat thew Henry’s “ Commentary” enjoyed a steady, continued sale. Edition after edition was placed upon the market by many publishing houses. Then came the establishment of the practice of printing books from plates, but as the years wore along plates were worn out or destroyed and the sets existent, either in England or America, became fewer and fewer. During the last four or five years, however, “ Matthew Henry,” in common with other works of perennial impor tance, has suffered from the complica tions and difficulties which have beset and afflicted the publishing business. As a consequence, no new edition of the “ Commentary” has been put to press since 1917. 'With the partial clearing of the commercial outlook, opportunity has served for the preparation of a large new edition (Revell). This edi tion furnishes a new and valuable op portunity for preachers, teachers, and Christian workers, to come into posses sion of a work with which few, if any, can afford to dispense, and none, ex cept in a spirit of simulated superiority, affect to ignore. Andrew Melville, when King James tried to force Popery on Scotland, put his fist under the King’s nose and said: “ I’ll gie ye to know that when ye were a bairn, an’ in your swaddling cloots, King Jesus reigned here.”

Dixon This is one of the most helpful books that it has ever been our privilege ,to read. It is not only helpful to the Chris tian himself in clarifying his own think ing but we believe it will be most useful to put into the hands of the unsaved. Dr. Dixon, in the foreword says, “ I give the line of thought which led me out of doubt into the clear light of faith; and 1 pray God that, it may be used of Him -to lead others in the same way.” Paper 50c Why I Reject the Helping Hand of Millennial Dawn By W C. Stevens This book fearlessly handles Pastor Russell’s teaching, exposing his every claim and doctrinal position to the search ing scrutiny of the Word of God. Its arraignment of Millennial Dawnism is most scathing and puts into your hand the facts by which you can meet and refute any and all Russellite arguments. You need this book, your friends need it.
