tion story, the Fall, and the Virgin Birth ; and beyond the years on earth the prob lems o f Dying, of the Love o f God, and the doctrine of Hell and of Heaven. He writes, as he says, for the ordinary thoughtful layman. He expresses him self lucidly, interestingly. The reader senses throughout his sincerity. Not that we agree with him in marly cases. He in terprets inspiration, the Creation Story, the Fall of Man, and the doctrine o f Hell from the standpoint- o f a conservative Modernist. And yet the more liberal will not walk with him in his strong advocacy o f the Virgin Birth and the Deity of our Lord. The thoughtful reader will thank D r.. Smyth for this honest attempt to think through and to arrive at some inde pendent conclusions in regard to the prob lems at hand.—A. E. K. I—o— What Think Ye of Christ? B y J. H. O. S mith There are many volumes of sermons. This is more than just ,another one. Its author has been and is one o f the out standing preachers of his own commun ion, The Church o f Christ. His pastorates have been notable in their fruitfulness in college and university centers. His evan gelistic work has carried him across the country and given him a wide hearing. His messagé throbs with a passion for souls and ' holds true throughout to the fundamentals of the evangelical faith. The sermons of this volume give Christ the preeminence. They are eloquent, full of'Scripture, abounding in telling illustra tions, and readable. Those not o f this preacher’s own denomination will be dis posed to feel that he gives undue empha sis to certain distinctive principles of his own body. Standard Pub. Co. Price $1.75. —A. E. K. —T—O—— Dan Crawford of^Luanza Mary Slessor and Jeanie Gilchrist ' Two B ooks by J ames J. E llis Here are two new missionary books from the London publisher, John Ritchie.

It ia one o f the most fascinat ing and astounding human interest stories of girlhood in Algeria, that one can im agine. The book in its French edition has been widely commented on in Europe. Its translation has been accomplished by two Americans. W e know of no book that gives’ such a vivid picture o f the customs' of Northern Africa and of the personal life of the women of all lands that are under the shadow of the Koran. Read this book and learn o f the blighting effect of Moslem law especially on womanhood, and you will hear the inarticulate cry of these peoples of the East, without hope in the world, for the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

There is always a demand for new pastimes for boys and girls. Here is a book of new and wholesome games, pub lished by the Revell Company ($1.50). It will furnish many good amusement ideas for social occasions.—B. ; o-ir-: 1928 in the Light of Prophecy B y Q. E. D. This is a curiously interesting book and should be carefully read by the popular governor o f New York State. Its proph ecies are interesting in the sense that all the speculations and interpretations that deal with dates are interesting'. There are certain things stated as facts which are more than merely interesting. They are challenging. If what he says concerning the percentage of crime related to a cer tain religious institution in America is true it certainly should arouse America to a .sincere consideration o f the nature o f the influence o f that particular organiza tion. On the other hand, if what he says is not true, he certainly ought to be in jail for defamation o f character.—J. M. M. Se,^ advertisement page 119. —o— A Bigger and Better Sunday School B y A lbert H. G age An interesting and helpful book o f practical suggestions for the Sunday- school worker by the author of “How to Conduct a Church Vacation School” and “The Evangelism o f Youth.” Mr. Gage’s book is a valuable addition to recent lit erature in the field of Christian Education, dealing especially with the Sunday-school end o f the work and with methods that have been worked out and can be used in the average school. It is not extreme in any sense, but is .based upon sound prin ciples, pedagogy and theology and prac tical common sense. Its suggestions, if carried out, would certainly do what the title suggests—produce “a bigger and bet ter Sunday school.” It is a valuable hand book for pastors, directors o f Religious Education, superintendents, or any Chris tian workers who are interested in the church of tomorrow.
