By Henry Ward Beecher Of all the published works of this master preacher none has attained such wide circu lation and enthusiastic appre ciation in t h i s and foreign lands, as these virile, plain- spoken, compelling messages to young men. First delivered many years ago to crowded audiences, these lectures have not lost by the passage of years one whit of their power to influence the young mind, and direct it to wiser ways. Cloth $1.50 The Stuff of Manhood By Robert Speer In forceful, convincing fash ion Robert Speer enlarges on some elements of character especially needful to American manhood in these c r u c i a l times. “Dr. Speer holds that the moral elements of individ ual character are inevitably social and that one service which each man must render the nation is to illustrate in his own life and character the moral qualities which ought to characterize the State.“ Cloth $1.00 By T. T. Martin This book shows that Evo lution is being drilled into our boys and girls in our High Schools during the piost sus- ceptable, dangerous a g e of their lives. And it furthei shows that the kind of Evolu tion being taught leaves the world without tt real Saviour, a real Redeemer, and only hell is left for responsible human beings. Get thia book so you can safeguard the young peo ple under your care. Paper 75c; cloth $1.25 Hell and the High Schools
About Electric bulbs-1—the “second look”— tennis— and a hundred other things, applied in a way that will interest the boys and encourage them to clean and manly living. Just the sort of straight little talks that a man can nave with the boys he knows best; intimate talks about the things every* body is up against, coming right from the heart of one who still remembers when he was a boy. Cloth $1.SO By Dlllion Wallace Having himself braved the hardships and perils of the Labrador country, and know ing well how to reach his boy- audience, Dillion Wallace has produced a story of the great Labrador Missionary and Ben efactor, which should quickly take a front place among Wal lace's popular stories of ad venture in the Far North. A story for boys. Illustrated. Cloth $1.53 Why I Am a Christian By Dr. A. C. Dixon This is one of the most helpful books that has ever been our privilege to read. It is not only helpful to the Christian himself in clarifying his own thinking but we be lieve it will be most useful to put into the hands of the un saved. Dr. Dixon, in the fore word says, “ I give the line of thought which led me out of doubt into the clear light of faith; and 1 pray God that it may be used of Him to lead others in the same way.** Paper 50c Grenfell of the Labrador
Diary of a Doctor's Son
(W ith a Moral) By Keith L* Brook*
The sure cure for a "blue Monday" or a “black Fri day” and a real entertainment for a group of friend* when read aloud. Not a dry page in it. The “DIARY OF A DOCTOR S SON” wa* actually taken from diarie* kept by the author when a lad. Some years ago, the strikingly funny thing* were typewritten and copies given to friend* in the hope* of giving them "hysterica.” It did the work and wa* used by them to amuse many group* who wanted an hour of wholesome fun. The repeated urging of friend* has led u* to print it with a few "illustrations.” Attractively bound, printed in large clear type on good paper. Paper 25c If monty doss not accompany order, goods will bo sent C. O. D. If books are to com by mall add 10% for postago. B I O L A B O O K R O OM Bible Institute, Los Angeles, Cal.
