gathered, is the young man who, presently, when our Lord has come, when the Church and the Holy Spirit are gone, will manifest himself as the Anti-chrtot. May God save everyone of us from his reign, for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen!” A gasping cry of amazed wonder broke from the thousand or more throats. They bowed, as one man, under the silent request of his spread hands; they heard the old, old “ Bene diction” as they had never heard it before: “ May the Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Love of God, and the Fellow ship of the Holy Spirit, all unite in leading us into the Peace of God which passeth all understanding. Amen.” Silent, awed, in many cages speechless, the great con gregation passed out of the several exits of the church. Among them was the woman we know as Judith Montmarte, and her son. In spite of their pre-occupation, many of the outgoing con gregation turned to gaze with wondering eyes upon the handsome young fellow who walked with such a regal air beside his mother, Judith Montmarte. Like Saul, in Israel, he stood head and shoulders above the tallest of the crowd. And he was magnificently proportioned. On the continent, and in New York and Chicago, Luclen Apleon was well-known, but only in certain of the English circles was he known. Those who knew him, whether men or women, fairly idolized him, in spite of the impenetrable mystery that'enveloped his birth. For a full year Judith Montmarte had disappeared from the ken of the world. Where she went, what she did, what happened to her, none ever knew. On her re-appearance in her Hungarian home, she called herself Madame Apleon, and her child was Lucien Apleon. No one ever heard of a husband, no one knew the history of that year of disappearance. Luclen Apleon was now about twenty-five years of age, but with the maturity of face and character of a much older man. He was accounted, by all who knew him, to be the most accomplished man in everything, that the world had ever known. The greatest scientists were babes before him. As artist, sculptor, poet, musician, he could not be approached by any living being. And there appeared an almost creative power in all he did, since works of every kind of art grew under his hand. Among those who had been in that service, and who turned to look at Lucien Apleon, was Ralph Bastin. It was his last day in London, previous to those years of wandering lecorded in “ The Twinkling of an Eye.” * Often during those years of adventurous wanderings the memory of Ralph Bastin had recalled that wonderful ser vice. One special moment of its recall was during that fateful, sacrificial cave scene in that Caribbean Island. »"The Tw ink ling o f An Eye.” by the author o f “The Mark of the Beast,” presents In story form.

By Charles Arthur Boyd This is a devotional book of great value. Some eighteen Psalms are selected, connected with which, as the foreword expresses jt,. there is a series of loosely related story set tings. Such a book would be a treasure in the chamber of an invalid or aged person, or, indeed, any one who can sing with men who sang on Judah's hills long ago. Cloth $1.25 By Frederick E. Burnham This story is told in that simple, direct way that almost reads itself. A young busi ness man went to a village, bought a store, and determined to mix religion and business. We are not going to tell you how his enterprise turned out, because that would take off the edge of interest for you, but we want you to read it for yourself and see. It is a most engaging story, without any wildwest adventure. It is really a thrilling story. Cloth, 75c Phil T y lers Opportunity
A new book, distinctly in a class to itself. There are text books on every conceivable subject, but, so far as we know, this is the only one on character-building. Each chap ter is a compilation of best thoughts on some principle of moral conduct, such as ideals, self-control, c u l t u r e , etc. Adapted for use in public and private schools, colleges, uni versities, homes and various study groups. Cloth $2.00 By V. Edward. When a reviewer comes on a volume that follows a new line of thought in a fresh and interesting manner, it gives him pleasure to read the book carefully. Under the t i t l e **Life and Power,** the author says, *'A Book for the thought ful,** and so it is. 1 read it with delight and then turned back and re-read it. Now it lies on my table waiting a fur ther study. The first chapter gave me suggestions for an evening sermon last Sunday, and 1 nave suggestions for two or three more. The chapters are: What Am I? ; My Rela tionship to Other Beings; My Relationship to World Things, and The Power of the Second Adam. Excellent in every way. Cloth $1.50 By Henry K. Pasma, M.A. Not often does one find the Scripture accounts of God's great young men so vividly retold as in this book. . The, careers of sixteen Old ana New 'Testament characters are briefly elaborated and lessons drawn which are peculiarly applicable to the problems of modern young men. The Bib lical narratives are here made to swell out into the propor tions of real life under the in fluence of the writer's racy style. The reader cannot es cape the impression that the problems of youth are identi cal in every age, and that true greatness is conditioned upon a frank willingness to accept what God has planned for one's life. Cloth 78 cents Life and Power G od ’s Picked Young Men
A Faggof o f Torches By F. W. Boreham
Here Mr. Boreham gives us another of his companionable collections of studies. In this volume sidelights are shed upon the spiritual experience of such as Augustus Toplady, John Woolman, St. Augustine, Pascal, George Fox, Mrs. Stowe, Josephine Butler, Rich ard Baxter, etc., with particu lar reference, in each instance, to the scriptural text which served as a guiding star to the person under notice. Mr. Bornam's style is as persua sive and engaging as ever, and behind all his agreeable di gressions there is definitely Christian motive-force which never allows him to lose a contact with Gospel Truths.

m Lord, for the sparrows Thou dost care, And we,.Thy children, shall we dare To think Thou canst forget our need When Thou the very sparrows feed? Perish the thought! Thy Word’s secure! Bread shall be given and water sure,— We thank Thee, Father, Lord of all, And at Thy feet would humbly fall.
