The Word. Made Flesh—Yol. I . Obedient unto Death—Yol. II By J . C. Macaulay These two volumes constitute a uni fied devotional commentary on John’s Gospel. The comments are brief, meaty, thought-provoking. Each book is complete in itself, offering stimu lation and suggestion not- only for the pastor or teacher, but also for the casual reader who has time for only a page or two at a time. The pastor of a growing church in a college com munity, Pastor Macaulay brings to his task a humble dependence upon the Holy Spirit, a warm love for the Word and for s o u Js, and the gift of \ the teaching ministry. Because the In ternational Sunday-school lessons for the early part of 1943 deal with John’s Gospel, these two books will be found especially useful at this time. 144 pages each. Eerdmans Pub. Co., Grand Rapids, Mich.. Cloth. Price $1.00 each. Peace Like a River By Vance Havner Here are very brief meditations— thirty of them — their titles taken from the commonplace things of life. The comments provoke thought, ex press subtle humbr,, and exude tran quillity. Yet there is advocated no false basis of peace, for everywhere the writer is careful to point to Christ, since “He is our peace.” In a world of hurry, restlessness, and'uncertainty, here is a book to provide moments of comfort and inspiration. 96 pages. Revell Co., New York. Cloth. Price $1. Flanoblot Pictures These brightly colored Flanoblot Pictures will adhere to your Flannel Board without the usual backing of flannel. This series of Bible charac ters and scenes was prepared for use with the Uniform Sunday School Les sons on John, but can be adapted to many individual l e s s o n s f o u n d throughout Scripture.

Chinese market’ town. At the time of the first “Pig’s Birthday,” ' the Wong Home was a typical idolatrous one, possessing many gods of wood and stone, and numerous other manifesta tions of heathenism. But the l a s t “Pig’s Birthday” is one of marked contrast. The breath-taking events of the intervening years make this story a thrilling one for both young and old. 248 pages. The Moody Press, Chicago, 111. Cloth. Price $1.00. DR. TALBOT’S QUESTION BOX ['Continued from Page. 10] Throughout the Book of Revelation this name for Christ is used. You will enjoy taking your pencil and mark ing every time in Revelation that Christ is called the Lamb. Revelation 21:9, to which you refer, says: “Come hither, I will show, thee the bride, the lamb’s wife.” Then John was shown the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, in which the bride, the Lamb’s wife, dwelt. He does not say who the Lamb’s wife was; In this passage he merely is showing where she dwells. We be lieve that the Bride of Christ includes all believers of this dispensation. Paul’s writings make this clear (cf. Eph. 5:23-27; 2 Cor. 11:2).
