Pay-Day—Some Day By C. B. HEDSTROM
The Chaos o{ Cults By JAN KAREL VAN BAALEN
Homing By GRACE LIVINGSTON H ILL
Like D. L. Moody, Hedstrom was busy selling shoes when the Lord dealt with him about his rela tion to the Saviour, and like Moody, he responded with whole-souled acceptance a of Christ.

BROOKS Intermediate Expressional Services By NEVADA M ILLER WH ITW ELL
In a systematic and readable manner the author presents a discussion of thealeading cults of today in their relation to evangelical Christianity. The historical background of each cult is given as well as its doctrinal beliefs (and disbeliefs) as set forth in the words of its own leaders. The author is fair in his approach, giving credit where it is due, but showing clearly the lack of everjr system which falls short of what is truly Christian. 227 pages. Wm. B. Eerdmans Pub. Co.

Eerdmans Pub. Co. Cloth. Price $1.00. Blue Skies By LO U ISE HARRISON McCRAW In a decidedly well-written narrative, flashing with interest and magnetized by suspense, the age- old problem of the relations between Jews and Gentiles is portrayed. Young and petite Esther St. Clair who had a mind of her own, bizarre Esther Birnbaum who was adept at proposing, the self-sac rificing Jenifers who maintained the mission, and Aaron Rothenberg—every inch a Jew, hating cant and veneer, loving Christ in the face of bitter per secution—these are some of the people who live in Miss McCraw’s searching novel. “I know now,” Edith St. Clair declared, “what Paul meant when he said, ‘What advantage then hath the Jew? Much every way.* ” Readers of Blue Skies may enter into this secret, too. 262 pages. Zondervan Pub. House. Cloth. Price $1.00. To settle down, as her sister Emily did, to a life of accepted domesticity in her small home town was an irksome prospect to Norma Harrington. In her rebellion against conventionalities, she found an enthusiastic companion in her gloriously “alive” Grandmother Lunsford who did the most unpre dictable and delightful things. I These two women found their way to a struggling mission among miners, and to Gordon Thorn in particular. Always in the background was Rick—lovable Rick—wait ing to marry Norma. There came the fire, the hospital experience, and Emily’s wedding—and values took on new proportions. The book sparkles with wholesomeness. 206 pages. Wm. B. Eerd mans Pub. Co. Cloth. Price $1.00.

The problem so common today—that of young people leaving the church and Sunday-school — is met and adequately solved in the small town of Beulah. Compellingly written, the book demands interest as a story, but deeper than that there is a genuine understanding of boys, boys’ problems, and their solutions.

Y. The New Testament Translated by JOHN W ESLEY Edited by GEORGE CROFT CELL Probably few people realize that John Wesley was not only a preacher, but a scholar as well. The republication of his translation of the New Testament adds one more to the large number of individual translations available. More conserva tive than most modem translations, it _resembles closely the King James Version; but it is writ ten in even smoother English, and in many in stances its changes show distinct aimprovement in translation. Since textual criticism was not so fully developed in Wesley’s day as in ours, it is doubtful whether this version can be considered as a whole better than the American Revision of relatively recent date. Many of his translations have anticipated the Revision, and some are even better than those propounded by recent scholars. All_ variations^ from the King James Version are indicated by italics; omissions, by dots. No un wholesome doctrinal bias is evident. We com mend it as a useful commentary and aid to the study of the New Testament. 391 pages. John C. Winston Co. Cloth. Price $1.00.
