M iracle Lives of China B y R osalind and J onathan G oforth The lives of these two missionaries are themselves miracles of the grace of God. But the life stories of some of the Chi nese of Manchuria, among whom Dr. and Mrs. Goforth have faithfully labored since 1888, are likewise extraordinary. Each instance cited in the book is full of the thrill of a mighty spiritual victory achieved through the ministry of these consecrated, Spirit-filled missionaries. Gov ernment officials, generals, scholars, poets, and the common people alike have been won to Christ and have been enabled to give potent testimonies to the gospel’s power. 157 pages. Harper & Bros. Cloth. Price $1.50. T h e Law of Moral and Spiritual P enalty B y W. S. H ottel The author shows that the law that like produces like, or the law of sowing and reaping, is operative in the lives of Chris tian people as well as in unbelievers. He deals with such propositions as these: The penalty of not having a heart to receive the truth and the inclination to value it; the punishment for not appreciating the knowledge of God ; and the result of de ceiving others. The points made and the illustrations given should arouse Chris tians to alertness. 26 pages. Union Gos pel Press, Cleveland, Ohio. Paper.

habitants. This book is an admirable grouping of such stories, selected from the many occurrences which make up the life of a missionary. 147 pages. Chris tian Book Room, Box 1723, Shanghai, China. Paper. Price 60 cents. T h e Rom ance of Sacred Song B y D avid J. B eattie This is a book worthy of the subject. It tells of the early days of sacred song, of the pioneers of English hymnology, of how we got our gospel songs, and of how some famous hymns were written. Other interesting historical and personal refer ences are added. Care has been taken to make all the statements authentic. The literary quality of the book is high. 232 pages. Marshall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd. Cloth. Price $3.00. St. Paul, th e H erald of C hristianity B y X enophon P. W ilfley The late Ex-Senator Wilfley was a statesman, a lawyer, and an ardent Bible student. He gave much study to the life of Paul, the great Christian lawyer, pre senting his findings, which are gathered together in this book, before a large Bible class in St. Louis. The author’s legal training enabled him to write illuminat- ingly on such vital subjects as the rela tion between the trial of Jesus and Paul’s ministry. The book is a worthy contribu tion to the literature concerning the great apostle. 267 pages. Cokesbury Press. Cloth. Price $2.00. T he R est of F aith a n d O th er Studies B y D. M. M c I ntyre The author is the principal of the Bible Training Institute of Glasgow. Some of the chapter titles of the book are: Yield Yourselves unto God; Kept by the Power of God; Let Thy Garments be Always White; For the Sake of the Name. High ly spiritual are these interpretations. They are written in a limpid, musical English that is itself essentially poetic. Richness and restfulness mark the faith to which expression is here given. 148 pages. Mar shall, Morgan & Scott, Ltd. Cloth. Price $1.50. _____ In th e Flam e of Russia’s Revolution B y N. I. S aloff -A stakhoff This account of the atrocities commit ted by the revolutionists between 1917 and 1926 is given by an evangelist who, dur ing that perilous time, was fearlessly preaching to his countrymen. Many of the Christians were ruthlessly murdered. An entire missionary party was merciless ly mutilated in a barn. The many de liverances from death, with which the book abounds, read like the Acts of the Apostles. The evangelists received their would-be assassins with hymns, prayer, and the gospel of salvation, and many a time hearts were softened, and the fatal blow was averted. The courage of the Christian workers, which shines through out this whole account, is God-inspired. 304 pages. Published by the author, 164 Second Ave., New York, N. Y. Cloth. Price $2.25.
New A nalytical Indexed Bible Edited by J. R. K aye There are many striking features of this new Bible. The text is the Author ized or King James Version of 1611.
