given, that it signifies toothing more than the intermarriage of Cainites and Sethites, will not suffice when a deeper exam ination is made in the original languages. The term ‘Sons of God’ does not appear to have any other meaning in the Old Testament, than that of angels. "Some of the angels, with Lucifer, fell from their high estate in Heaven, and were banished from Heaven. Scrip ture clearly proves in many places that these fallen ones took up their abode ‘in the air,’ the Devil becoming, even as the Christ Himself said: ‘Prince of the power of the air.’ - "Now both Peter and Jude in their epistles allude to cer tain of these fallen, air-dwelling angels leaving their first estate, and the mention of their second fall is sufficiently clear to indicate their sin— intermarriage with the fairest of the daughters of men. Their name as given in the Old Testament, ‘Nephilim,’ means 'fallen ones.’ In their orig inal condition, as ange'ls in Heaven, they ‘neither married nor were given in marriage.’ It is too big a subject, Miss Judith-------.” Hurriedly, eagerly, for she wanted him to continue his topic, she said: "Call me Ju, or Judith, or Judy, Colonel, and drop the ‘Miss,’ and do please go on with this very wonderful subject." “ Thank you, Ju,” he laughed, then continuing his talk, he said: "It is far too big a subject, Ju, in all its details, to talk of here and now, but, broadly, the fact seems to me to remain, that fallen angels assumed human shape, or in some way held 'illicit intercourse with the women of the day, a race of giant-like beings resulting. For this foul sin God would seem to have condemned these doubly sinning fallen angels to Tartarus, to~be reserved unto Judgment. " ‘Now as it was in the days of Noah, so shall it be in the coming of the Son of Man,’ and-------” Judith Montmarte caught her breath sharply, and, in an unconscious movement of eager wonder, let her beautiful hand drop upon his wrist, as she gasped, “ you don’t think— you don’t mean— er— er— ; tell me, Colonel, do you mean to say that— ” “ I do mean,” he replied, “ that I am firmly convinced that so far has demonology increased— the door being opened by modern spiritualism— that I believe this poor old world of ours is beginning to experience a return of this association between fallen spirits and the daughters of men. Of course, I cannot enter into minute detail with you, Ju, but let me register my firm conviction, that I believe from some such demoniacal association there will spring the ‘Man of Sin’— ‘The Antichrist.’ ” At that Instant, to the utter amaze of both of them, the first luncheon gong sounded. They had been talking for T. C. Horton, Editor-in-Chief "The King's Business," 536-558 S. Hope St., Los Angeles, California.

STORIES with a very definite purpose.
“ Far Above Rubies”
By Agnes Sligh Turnbull These romances of far-away days go far beneath the calm surface of the Bible recbrd and help us visualize the scenes and incidents# . ’Th e author has reconstructed in all their original beauty the colorful and romantic settings in which the stories belong. Moreover, she has given to their telling a force and freshness and wealth of detail which they have not known since the tongue of the last eye-witness to them was silenced in the grave. Cloth, Illustrated, $2.00
Mrs. Mary’s G o -T ell By Mr*. S. R. Graham Clark A bright little story of fine spiritual work with a group or young people, and what came of it. These young peo ple under the wise leadership of a consecrated young couple became fully gripped by the Master's words, "Ye are my witnesses,'* and they endeav ored to "go tell" the "good news" of a Saviour not only by word of mouth but by life as well. Lives are transformed and the church revived and souls saved. The story shows the possibility of young people living happy, consistent Chris tian lives in this day, though it may not be easy. Cloth, 75 cents
“ The First Soprano” By Mary Hitchcock A splendid book for young men or women of high school or college age. The story sets forth in a Scriptural and most searching manner the experi ences of a brother and sister who are brought into contact with the true teaching of Cod's Word. The brother, a sceptic, is gloriously saved, leaves a wealthy home and successful business career to p r e ac h Christ in China. The sister, a talented singer and professing Christian, is also saved and wonderfully used in the lives of loved ones. This book should be in the hands of every young Christian. Cloth, $1.00
Ariel Custer
By Grace Livingston Hill Ariel Cuater is a rare character. Orphaned and com pelled to make her own way in the world, »he come* from her Virginia home to Philadelphia to find employ ment. In an accident on the street she meet* Judson Granniss, a character almost as fine as she. His vulgar, nagging mother tries to break their friendship and com pel him, to marry a girl of the flapper type. There is a stormy voyage, but love holds. It is a charming story, with a constant upward, and not a single downward, pull from opening to closing sentences. Cloth, $2.00 The Revival at Broad Lane By Kate Drew A book of arresting power— one filled with a blessing for every reader. **To both the unconverted and the con verted/ this graphic record will be a message from Heaven.** John Marsh, of London, the chief character of the story, will win your interest in those things which were so vital to him and which changed the church at Broad Lane. Read what Margaret Bingham had to do with it all. You will be grateful to us for suggesting this story. ____________________________________________Cloth, $1.7S If money does not accompany order, goods will be sent C. O. D.
