It shows very clearly what the Victor ious, Sacrificial d e a t h of Christ on Calvary's Cross pur chased for the believer—what the believer's standing a n d privileges are as a new man in Christ. Paper 35c

Streams in the Desert
Compiled by Mrs. Charles E. Cowman Daily readings for a year, each comprising a text and a page or so of original comment, or— most frequently*— quotations. Their character is deeply spiritual. There are many other daily devotional books, but we have never found one quite so satisfying in every way. The readings for every day— or any particular day— seem to exactly meet the need of that day. There is no other book like it. Beautifully bound in special cloth 1.S0
Places of Quiet Strength
Kept for the Master’ s Use

So n o t a b l e a preacher in so influential a pulpit commands the interest ana attention of all who find uplift and suggestian in the distinguished pulpit utter ances of our day. A significant work assured of wide reading and high appreciation.
By Frances Ridley Havergal This is one of the "joy and strength books." It is the au thor's own interpretation of her wonderful song, "Take My Life and Let It Be Conse crated, Lord, to Th^e." The inspiration of this book will strike a vibrating cord in the soul of every reader. Cloth 60c
Cloth »2.00_________ The Peerless Poems o f David the K ing A New Metrical Version of the Psalms By Miss Jane Copley Everyone who has ever enjoyed reading the Psalms in the prosaic King James version will all the more thor oughly enjoy them in their new poetic form. All the out standing features of the Psalms— Praise, Adoration, Wor ship, Thanksgiving— seem to be more thoroughly empha sized in poetry than in prose. Miss Copley has^ literally spent years of her life in these Psalms, studying their every feature. As a result of these years of applica tion, we are able to offer the finest poetic version of the Psalms that has ever been issued. Splendidly printed^ from large clear broad faced type on a superior quality of paper and well bound. Cloth $1.75 If money does not accompany order, goods will bo oont C. O.
