J. Bach Brief sketches of 26 pioneer mis sionaries from the Apostle Paul to Solomon Bergstrom (d. 1929), run ning from two to four pages each, with attractive illustrations, make this book a useful handbook for mission study. Young people’s societies will find the material very practical for presentation. The author is general director emeritus of The Evangelical Alliance Mission. I l l pages; cloth; Dunham Publishing Co., Findlay, Ohio; $2.00. Not intended as a commentary, the chapters on 1 Thessalonians are re printed from The Moody Monthly in which they appeared in six install ments some two years ago. The chap ters on 2 Thessalonians are here pub lished for the first time. The author amply carries out his objective “ to bring out in a practical way the great truths contained in both letters.” To know the president of Dallas Theolog ical Seminary is to be assured of the loyalty of these pages to God’s Word. 158 pages; cloth; Dunham Publish ing Co., Findlay, Ohio; $2.50. A well-known British evangelist here publishes a series of Bible con ference messages on the Holy Spirit’s person and ministry. Chapters will be found on every aspect of this im portant subject. Scriptures used are published in full. A Scripture index would have improved the book. The foreword was written by Alan Red- path, pastor of the Moody Memorial Church, Chicago. 191 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $2.50. The Thessalonian Epistles By John F.

talk to children from the pulpit. 184 pages; cloth; W. A. Wilde Co., Boston, Mass.; $2.00. The Return of Jesus Christ By Rene Pache Tremendous chapters on every as pect of the return of Christ make up this splendid volume by the princi pal of Emmaus Bible School at Lau sanne, Switzerland. From the pre- tribulational rapture of the Church through the m ille n n ia l reign of Christ, the author brings to bear the whole gamut of Scripture in his dis cussion. This would seem to be the most complete work on the return of Christ available from the dispensa- tional, premillennial approach. It does not, however, include a Scrip ture reference index. 448 pages; cloth; Moody Press, Chicago, 111.; $4.95. There seems to be no end to the books of object lessons and brief talks for children and youth. The author has given us one of the better types in this book. Each talk exalts Christ and includes a prayer and a message from the Bible. 116 pages; cloth; W. A. Wilde Co., Boston, Mass.; $2.00. The announcer of Pacific Garden M is s ion ’s radio p rogram , “Un shackled,” in Chicago, has gathered 15 of the dramatized stories of con verts for literary reproduction in this well-printed volume. Here is good reading for the soul-winner, the un saved and the hopeless. 158 pages; cloth; Fleming H. Revell Co., West- wood, N.J.; $2.00. Living Stories of Famous Hymns By Ernest K. Emurian “ Hymn of the Week,” a newspaper column syndicated throughout the eastern states, first published the stor ies which comprise this book. A num ber of gospel songs are included. Ma terial like this is helpful to the pastor or worker who desires to make the most of music in the services. 144 pages; cloth; W. A. Wilde Co., Bos ton, Mass.; $2.00.
