Try it out. The Passing o f “ The Word“ A Romance of College Life By Helen Henshaw The book depicts the wholesome and typical American college girl of today, who with seriousness of character can have as well the spirit of frolic. While the story pur ports to impart a serious message, nevertheless, there is a certain trend of humor through the pages. The college girl's rhapsodies on flowers and amusements, and typical friendships that are formed, lend to the narrative a naturalness which is in every way pleasing and approp riate. Interwoven is a love theme, by no means complex, but adding a certain charm to the volume. The dialogue throughout is natural and pleasing and the moral element is strongly marked. An exceptionally healthy story. Cloth, $1.80 In the Twinkling of an Eye By Sydney Watson The Mark of the Beast By Sydney Watson
the gallery, the man who cracked that nut, and who had laughed so boisterously a moment ago. Many eyes were turned up to the man, but no voice of reprimand came, no cry of “ shame!” or of “ Turn him out," was raised. • All that had happened during the days of the past week, had served to fill many of the people gathered there that morning, with a curious mingling of doubt, hesitancy, fear someness, and uncertainty, as well as an unconscious growth of a new strange skepticism, and a carelessness that almost amounted to recklessness. “ As it is with many more here, this morning,” the Sec retary went on, “ some members of my family have gone, been caught up— .” “ Aviated!" laughed a ribald voice, and this time it came from another part of the building. Disregarding the interruption, the secretary went on: “ My wife has gone— .” His voice shook with the deep emotion that stirred him, and for a moment he was too moved to speak. Then recovering himself with an effort he continued: “ My daughter, too, who against my wish had offered her self as a Foreign Missionary, has gone. Both wife and daughter lived in the spirit of expectancy of the Coming of Christ into the air. Now they are with Him, to be with Him forever.” The ribald voice that had last interrupted, again broke into the Secretary’s touching words. This time the inter rupter roared out a stanza or two of a wretched song: "Will no one tell me where they’re gone, My bursting heart with grief is torn, I wish I never had been born. I’ve lost, I’ve lost my wife.” A hundred or more voices roared with laughter. The devil of blasphemy was growing bolder. But in the silence that Immediately followed the laughter, the Secretary went on again: “ I have been a deeply religious man, even as Nicodemus and Paul were, before their conversion. But now that it is too late to share in the bliss of the glorious Translation, I have discovered that Religion, without Christ, without the Regeneration of the New Birth, is evidently useless, other wise I, with scores of others in this church this morning, who have for years listened to a full-orbed Gospel from our God-filled translated pastor, would be now with those of our loved ones who have ‘ascended up on high.’ ” He paused for the briefest fraction of a second, a look of keenest anguish filled his face, his eyes grew moist with unshed tears, and were full of appeal, of enquiry, as he 8wept the great assembly, crying: “ There must be thousands upon thousands left in our land, who, like myself, deceived themselves, and thus unwit tingly deceived others, and in whose souls there rises the cry: ‘How can we find God? Who will show us the way?’ “ Friends, I have searched my New Testament from end to end. I have been up two whole nights, and I have read the New Testament through from Matthew to Revelation, twice. But I can find no provision for the position I find myself in. I can find no guidance as to how to be saved. The whole situation is too solemn, too awful for any fooling. Does anyone here know? Can anyone here tell us how we may find God, now that the salt of the earth— the real Christians— are gone, and now, too, that the Holy Spirit who, of old time—not yet a full week, but it seems an eternity— led souls to God through Christ.” There was something so solemn, so pathetic in the man’s
A companion volume to "In the Twinkling of an Eye." This book pictures the horrors to come upon earth during the time of the Great Tribulation which will follow the rapture of the saints. It cannot fail to excite the determination to escape this period of anguish and unrestrained wickedness, and to be among those who shall be caught up to be for ever with the Lord. Cloth, $1.28 Scarlet and Purple By Sydney Watson This book should speak to the hearts of many who. living in a so-called Christian land and surrounded by Christian influences, have yet failed to settle definitely the question of their own personal salva tion. The delineation of true Christian character will appeal to the reader and enhance his interest in the story, and he himself will be brought face to face with the necessity of a definite acceptance of Christ if he would find peace and sal vation. Cloth, $1.28
This is an interesting story in which the blessed truth of the imminent return of Christ is set forth in such a way as both to convince the reader and to inspire in him a deeper love of, and desire for, the Lord's appearing. Many doubt less will welcome the oppor tunity to learn from a book of this kind the Bible teaching concerning this great doctrine. Those for whom this subject has hitherto held little inter est. or by whom it has been contemplated with a sense of fear, will derive great blessing from a perusal of the story. , Cloth, $1.25 The Conflict By Miss Elisabeth Knauss This is the book of the hour for everyone who is in any way interested in the conflict between the Modernist wing of the Church and those who hold fast to the great funda mental doctrines of the Chris tian religion. "The Conflict** tells the story in story form— a real live story— entertaining from beginning to end—ana very helpful. You will want at least one copy for yourself and one for your pastor.

A Missionary Romance of South America By Josephine Hope Westervelt
This missionary story is especially* interesting and valu able just now when there is such a decided revival of interest in missionary work in Latin America. Mrs. Westervelt has given us in this book an exceed ingly entertaining story first of all, and along with the telling of the story there is a vivid portrayal of mission ary life and labor in the Rome-controlled, priest-ridden sections of South'America. You will like the book for the story itself but you will like it all the better because it gives you a true vision of modern missionary work in that great land of opportunity.
