As a preparation for his task, Dr. Day traveled across the continent from his home in San Francisco, and visited Northfield, Chicago, and other scenes of Moody’s la bors; he interviewed scores of people, and read everything that he could find about, and by, Moody. Then he wrote at white heat and put his heart into this labor of love. He not only described and analyzed the life and ministry of his hero, but he did also what no one else has done adequately —he recognized the contribution of Mrs. Moody to the success o f her remarkable husband, and he has given Sankey the prominence that he so richly deserves. Bush Aglow is readable. It is difficult to lay it down. Do not read it in snatches if you can find a time to read it through as a unit. Read it and then lend it to a pas tor struggling in a discouraging post. Re vival fires will be kindled in many hearts by this book. Thank you, Dr. Day! You have intro duced us to the man that we heard about and dreamed about and wanted to know. We thought it would be necessary to wait until the Golden City was reached before the longing could be realized. That long ing has not been abated but instead deep ened by your book. However, you made us really acquainted with him, and now he will be quickly recognized just inside the eastern gate! 333 pages. The Judson Press. Cloth. Price $2.00. (Paul W. Rood.) Glimpses o f Paul B y G eorge M . S trombeck Regarding Paul as a superman, this treatment of the powerful life of the great apostle attributes his effectiveness as a man to the superhuman working of the Holy Spirit in his life. Glimpses of him moving dramatically among people and potentates as recorded in the Book of Acts are seen in colorful succession in this brief but com prehensive volume. The vital message of the cross is predominant throughout, and Paul’s determination to preach it, as this author writes, is an encouragement to pres ent-day followers of the Lord to “keep the faith” and to “press toward the mark.” 88 pages. Christian Service Press. Paper. Price 25 cents. Bible History B y R obert N ew ton W aring This valuable reference work has two main divisions. Part One sets forth in chronological order and in their historic settings, the events narrated in Scripture, showing their nature and significance. On each page appear three items: the date of the event, the event in summarized form, and the Scripture reference to the event. Explanatory materials and comments are liberally interspersed, and appear just where needed. There is not only a har mony of the Gospels but also a similar ar rangement of the books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. Events in the latter books pertaining to Israel and Judah are listed in separate columns, making it easy to see what occurred, and which kings reigned, in both kingdoms at a given time. For the most part, the Old Testament prophets are included in the Kings and Chronicles sec tion, in proper relation to the events of [Continued on page 455]
O u r L IT E R A T U R E Table WHAT TO PURCHASE AT BIOLA BOOK ROOM
Moody’s portrait has been faithfully paint ed and a living, vital, dynamic personality is presented in this striking biography. After finishing the book at eleven-thirty in the evening, the reviewer was drawn to his knees for an hour and a half with God. A book that will affect a reader that way is vital.

Bush Aglow is not an ordinary biog raphy. It is extraordinary. The reviewer is impressed with the literary merits of the book, for it is exceedingly well written; but he is impressed most of all by the fact that
