The stories are about real people and real situations and real victories related to brotherly liv ing and the application of gospel truth to every emergency. The special object of the book seems to be the removal of race pre judice. 269 pages. Richard R. Smith, Inc. Cloth. Price $1.50. Uncle John V assar B y T homas E. V assar This is a new edition of the life story of John Vassar, the apostle of personal evan gelism, America s foremost soul winner.” It is a book with a vital message for the church of today. To read it is to be stirred to win the lost to Jesus Christ. Dr. Chas. G. Trumbull says: “ ‘Uncle John’ was the sort of a man that appears about once in a century. He is a grand antidote to the deadly neutrality of today, when every thing is tolerated except deep conviction” American Tract Society. Cloth. Price An examination of the doctrines of the Seventh Day Adventists is presented with in the pages of this valuable little book. The author is a missionary to the British Solomon Islands and has come in contact with the proselytizing work of the Seventh Day Adventists. Their work has been so damaging to the spiritual life of the Chris tians won from heathenism that it has be come necessary to furnish adequate argu ments against this propaganda. The book is fair, comprehensive, and we believe un answerable. 157 pages. Pickering & In glis. Paper. Price 75 cents. New T estam ent Evangelism B y W ade C.

The first part of knowledge is the ability to give a name to things. This book con siders the name Jehovah in its compound forms—Jehovah-Jireh, Jehovah-Nissi, Je- hovah-Shalom, and others—and throws a flood of light on many significant and fa miliar passages in the Old Testament. It is the work of an accomplished scholar who has the ability ,to invest his subject with great interest. The book is a gem from the standpoint of its limpid English and its wealth of literary allusion. 160 pages. Marshall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd. Cloth. Price $1.50. T he B attle of Belief B y A. E. S hiner The author, a layman and an engineer by profession, strikes at the very heart of modernism. He discusses many of the Bi ble accounts that are scoffed at by the in fidel and ridiculed by the modernist. His answers are taken from the facts of his tory and science, and they present a strong appeal to reason. The book is an excellent one to place in the hands of young people and Bible students who meet with or come under the influence of skepticism. It should have a wide circulation, for we believe it will be a blessing to all who read it, par ticularly to those who are weak or waver ing in their faith. 150 pages. Marshall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd. Cloth. Price $1.75. G athered Gems C ompiled by E. M. This excellent compilation of choice bits from both secular and religious writers is classified according to subject, scripture, and author.

The book is not merely a discussion of the place of prayer in the Christian life, but it records hundreds of answers to prevailing prayer. Such prayer should be the normal habit of every Christian.
The author is editor of the Indian Chris tian. The great virtue of his book is that it goes to the root of each heresy, giving authority for its quotations, and then points out the unscripturalness of the sys tem exposed. Some of the chapters are as follows: Agnosticism, Annihilation, Bap tismal Regeneration, and British Israelism. 181 pages. Pickering & Inglis. Paper.

T h e Spirit-Led Life B y G eorge G oodman For this I’m thankful, Lord, today, That I was born where light holds sway, Where life’s true meaning men may know, And superstition’s reign of woe Has not bedimmed the day. I’m thankful for the heritage Of faith and love in this dark age When science scornfully rejects What head can’t know, but heart respects, On inspiration’s page. For light, for friendship, faith, and love, On earth below, in heaven above, In time and in eternity With gratitude, O God, to Thee, These blessings we shall prove. —A lliance W eekly .
