A splendid series of lessons, calculated to cause the user of the book to make some investigation of other books, and to give voice to his views. You will be glad to have read, and studied, the book.
Text and Themes for the Christian Year, By Paul F. Holdcraft, Abingddon Press. (Paper bound, 90c.)
The author has used wisdom, I think, in suggesting a series of studies for the year. Too, if you will agree with yourself to have a study in the Bible each day in the year, you will soon grow into the habit of making a study each day, and when you have outlined a lesson for each day, the habit will grow on you, and you will be benefitted thereby. The outlines in this book are so arranged that you can begin the studies at your convenience — any time in the year. Do not delay longer.
2500 Sentence Sermons, By C. B. Eavey, Baker Book House. $1.75.
This book of 2500 "Sermons" is one of the books in the "Minister's Handbook Series," published by Baker Book House. There is about each month a copy of a book in this series printed. Each one by some man who has a message to give.
Throughout the land nearly every congregation with a local man laboring with them have a "Bulletin" each week. The minister usually furnishes the matter for the Bulletin. This is a most convenient book; furnishing a "line" sermon. Your "Bulletin" will be read when you fill it with sermons one can read at a glance.
This book contains 2500 sermons. The first one is:
"Ability means ability; power to do is duty."
Yes, the subjects are "Indexed", so you can quickly turn to a subject which "fits" in with the other matter in the Bulletin. May we send you a copy?
(We will be glad to furnish you with any book reviewed in this paper; or book on religious subject.)
