Fire On The Mountains by Raymond Davis
Cambridge Bible
As general director of the Sudan Interior Mission, the author has served in Africa since 1934, spend ing a great deal of his time in Ni geria. Dr. Davis probes the story of the indigenous church in Ethiopia, pointing out the reason for its tre mendous growth, even under adverse circumstances. The book relates the trials of missionaries as well as their triumphs. More than this, however, the volume is the moving chronicle of the Lord Himself at work. How else could one account for the fact that 48 converts became more than 10,000 in only five years, except that God sent revival? The book is a “ must” reading for any Christian interested in lifting up his eyes and looking onto the fields which are whitened already to harvest. —: 253 pages; cloth; Zondervan Pub. House, Grand Rapids, Mich.; $3.95. The Old Lighthouse by James R. Adair Well-known for his editorial work on the “ Power” series of Sunday school publications, the author re counts the moving story of the Pacif ic Garden Mission located on Skid Row in Chicago.

Moody the work, originally known as “ Colonel Clark’s Mission,” was called, “ The Pacific Garden Mis sion.” Among the many who found Christ as Saviour were such well known people as Mel Trotter and Billy Sunday, two of the trophies of God’s grace through “ The Old Light house.” — 157 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $2.95.
