¡"" LOOKING FORWARD TO CHRISTMAS H im . books will w h o splendid pra.ant. “Best” Books of Intense Interest — With a message for you— today By Christabal Pankhurst Mist Pankhurst has grasped the cardinal points of prophecy to an extraorainary degree, and her elucida tions have all the freshness of a new discovery, Ths author sees the reviving Roman Empire suddenly taking a more central position in European politics, while Signor Mussolini's imperial intentions for Italy are most vividly portrayed. The Mediterranean becomes again the center of the world's history. This, and other events supplying **The Signs of the Times,** indicates that the end of this Age is near. The gathering shadows of the world a un rest clearly proclaim the oncoming Dawn. Cloth $2 00 The W orld ’s Unrest

U the Anti-Christ at Hand By Oswald J. Smith This book is a book for the hour. It is of present interest. It constitutes a challenge. No one can read this book without being impressed with the im portance of the times in which we are living. The sense of c r i s e s and emergency is breathed throughout its pages. It is fresh, ana stimulating. It is clear and forceful, speaking in no uncertain terms. À warning rings out from every chapter ana admonition per meates every paragraph. The contents of this book deal with events of the latest interest and the deepest sig nificance. This book should be widely read and should have a large circulation. It is a book for the people. It can be under stood by all... Paper 35c
The Giant Masquerade By Rev. F. C. Rayaor This is the best Protestant volume since the War. It Is an historical sermon which does not omit the application. After an arresting account— marvelously condensed— of the great strength of truth against th e constantly developing forces of error down the ages, there comes a message which every home in the land should read and ponder. Not one of the 288 pages is dull reading, but all are equally alive with pictures of the heroes and their achievements which go to make the volume of history. Cloth $2.50
The Laughing Buddha
A Story of China in Revolt By James Livingston Stewart
The author has been a missionary in China for twenty-three years. The Laughing Buddha is written against that back ground and the conversion to Christianity of Lee-Chee, its chief character, his sweetheart and her mother, Madam Chang, makes of it a missionary document. To the student of comparative religions it has value through its bright* exposition of Buddhism and Taoism. But it is primarily an exciting romance of love and adventure, well told, and “a source of authentic reference concerning the manners, customs, habits and conditions of liv ing today in West China.'* Cloth $2.00 The Moslem World of Today This substantial volume should make a very definite appeal to the Church of our day. It is a work of composite authorship, and comprises twenty-three papers, contributed by men and women who know their subject. In an illuminating foreword. Dr. Mott says with truth:— "The social and religious system of Islam, for centuries the most rigid, exclusive resistant, and, as some would say, the most intolerant of all, has during the first quarter of the present century, and notably during the last decade, been undergoing stupendous and well-nigh unbelievable changes. Almost every Moslem land— in Africa, in Western, Central and Southern Asia, and in the East «Indies— is ablaze with new national and social aspirations and ambitions. The papers which compose the volume present with com prehensive touch and living interest the more important aspects of the Moslem world of today, and describe at length the ex traordinary developments of recent years. This book is of profound interest, and should be placed at the command of all who seek the evangelization of Islam. Cloth $2.50 If money does not accompany order, goods will be sent C. O. D.
