Bible-reading which we have dropped to almost as great an extent as our Anglo- Catholic brethren,- and that without put ting any other religious observances in their place. How few of us witness in these days, even to our own households,' by having family prayers ! How greatly our neglect of Bible study has contributed to the' weakening of our faith, not only as Protestants, which is a comparatively small matter, but as Christians !” While we may hot all agree on some minor matters with ' the author, the book is moSt Scholarly afid will .be' found most enlightening to many, especially to those within the ranks of which the. author is a member.

By P rofessor È lbèrt R ussell . ; This small hook comes from the presses pf; the Winston1■Company' ' (price $1.00) and is from the ,pcn of Professor Rtis- seil of Duke University, department of religion. Dr. Russell xays at the outset that “there is always a possibility that in transmitting the teachings of Jesus] they [the early followers-of Jesus] may-have unconsciously emphasized the apocalyptic element and given His words a literal em phasis which was not in Jesus’ mind.’v; He looks to the parables as giving us His teachings “in a form of His own creat ing, which is not likely to be given an apocalyptic turn in transmission.” He says much that is practical as to the sensible way of interpreting our Lord’s parables, and in treating the principal parables brings Out many helpful points.' He does not, however* believe that there is a fixed language o f symbols in the Bible. For example, he thinks leaven may mean evil in one place and good in another, be cause the devil in one place is spoken of as a lion and the term is also applied to Jesus (1 Pet. 5:8; Rev. 5:5). This would seem to be' a 7poor illustration for his point, however, for the “lion” in both cases stands for the same idea. Conquer ing strength is the point in each case and believers may be comforted in the fact that in the'¿conflict which they have to wage with the lion, Satan, they have with them a Lion who is stronger than their adversary. Jesus, he declares, explains the symbol ism of two parables and uses some of the same symbols with different meanings. Thus the way is left open for a free and easy interpretation of the parables. To be sure, when our Lord Himself in terprets His symbols, we should seek no further key. But did Jesus use symbols i The Book of Ruth i? By1G. F. V allance
