Her kindness was beyond convention, but her character survives this and every other test. And now begins a love story with unexpected turns cfnd changes. The life of “the girl in the blue pinafore” becomes rich in its fulfillment and happiness, and she finds love awaiting her.

Beauti fully bound in rich, red, soft Spanish grain, with cellophane jacket- stained edges—marker—gold imprinted, and packed in a handsome box. Dr. Daniel A. Poling says: “In the field of devotional literature many will regard this little book a greater discovery than the Dead Sea Scrolls ... In its own right, even without Lincoln's autograph, it is mind- enriching and soul-satisfying today as it was when Lincoln undoubtedly carried it with him. I shall carry it with me." DELUXE EDITION. Regular Price $5.00
TO LIVE AGAIN by Catherine Marshall, is much more than a fabulous success story. Despite the triumphs and accomplishments, the author writes of her life with a marvelous humility. She knows the plight of widows ... the loneliness, the various stages of cfrief, the financial and social problems, the need for creative outlets, the complex matter of remarriage. In every way that a woman can be, Catherine Marshall has been challenged. And her story contains the answer to that challenge —a practical, enduring faith and a close working relationship with God. Writing with a startling candor, she gives her answers to many of life’s perplexing riddles. Catherine Marshall shows how God builds up your resources instead of whittling down the problems. It is not part of His plan that the bereaved should languish in grief or live in emptiness. Because Catherine Marshall’s belief remained firm, hers is the story of the victory of faith. Regular Price $3.95 SING OUT THE GLORY by Gladys Hasty Carroll, is an unhurried, beautiful story—like the constant flow of a brook running through sun-filtered, wooded land. There is sunshine and shadow here, but there is always the constant "son g" if we listen. And as you finish reading this story you will find that the song has become a melody in your own life, and that you want to "sing out the glory" in your own special way. What more can we say to recommend a bookl SING OUT THE GLORY w bring you reward-
