ChristmasisComing! ------------ Ia Consider These Books for Gifts Studies o f Familiar Hymns (Series 2 ) By Louis F. Benson, D. D. These studies are a continuation o f the earlier studies o f familiar hymns by Dr. Benson, and are delightful and fascinating reading, even for those who are neither musical nor students o f hymns. These hymns have been selected and arranged in historical succession, the story o f each plainly showing the close association o f religious thought with historical development. As Dr. Benson is regarded as the forem ost American hymnologist, his statements may be considered as authentic. This series is not only an author itative book o f reference, but it has also the fascination o f a good book of fiction. $2.00 Church and Sunday School Publicity By Herbert H.

(Lippincott Co.) $2.00 Pamphlets and Booklets Why the Pastor Failed, by J. E. Co- nant, D. D. (Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged). A very valuable book for every pastor and church member, showing that many pastors fail because of a wrong program. The author dem onstrates from the Bible that the Di vine program is “ go” and not “ send;” “ take” , not “ bring.” That the one great mission of the church is to pro claim the Gospel, and each individual Christian is to deliver this message, not by proxy but in person. “ The pas tor fails in his public testimony, be cause the people fail in their private testimony.” A book which will open the eyes of lazy church members and wrongly trained pastors.

(Bangalore Press, Belgaum) 40c Three Leaflets:— The Law and the Saint, The Christian Sabbath, and Christian Liberty,-—three closely allied themes handled very thoroughly by the. well known author, Arthur W. Pink. The author contends that the Ten Commandments are binding upon all who live in this dispensation; that God’s moral law has never been re voked. Takes a very strong position against Antinomianism and against the “ overdoing of dispensations,” stating that the lawlessness in the church and home- today is the result of the teach- ihg that the Law ended on the cross, and was only intended for Israel, etc., etc. All teachers will not agree with Mr. Pink, but he has handled his sub jects well, and provokes real thought.
