"WHY SCIENTISTS ACCEPT EVOLUTION," by Robert T. Clark and James D. Bales, both teachers at Harding College, Searcy, Arkansas, Paperback, $1.50, and Cloth, $2.50. Baker Book House, publisher.
The aim of this book is not to delve into arguments pro and con for the hypothesis of evolution. It is to deal with the real reason why it was accepted in the 19th century and then passed on to the 20th century. It is "a historical study of Hutton, Lyell, Darwin, Spencer, and Huxley."
This is a valuable book for the open-minded evolutionist to trace the development of his hypothesis. It is a valuable book for the non-evolutionist to assure himself that he need not castigate himself as being unscientific. This is a book that all really interested students in the evolutionary hypothesis will want to study. It would be well to place it in the hands of any and every young person of college age, especially where they are likely to be exposed to this insidious teaching.

"THE MINOR PROPHETS," by Jack P. Lewis, Professor of Bible in the Harding College Graduate School of Religion, Memphis, Tennessee. $1.95 per copy, Cloth. Baker Book House, publisher.
This is a brief, inexpensive, well written study guide to the "minor prophets." It is suited for group study, classes, or personal reading. It offers valuable help and information, and can be used with profit and pleasure by all students in this field. After a general Introduction the author works through each book in turn, following each lesson with relevant questions.
These lessons are built on the assumption that the prophets had a message relevant to the moral and religious situation of their day--and for our day as well. Times have changed but the basic issues of life today are much like those of the days of the prophets.
(In your study of the minor prophets," it would certainly be worthwhile to secure a copy of "THE MINOR PROPHETS, "a Syllabus and outline for class study, by Homer Hailey, of Florida College. It is a very valuable work in this field, by a recognized authority on the subject. It is a mimeographed work, but it is neatly done. It contains extensive and very usable notes, which have been used in college classes taught by Hailey. This book sells for $2.00 per copy, and there are not many copies left of the current printing. Be sure to get and use a copy of this book.)

Wallace, Jr. on the above themes, which he offered during the years mentioned above. There is some very fine and choice material in this collection. There have been few men who could write with the clarity and force of Foy E. Wallace, Jr. , and anything he writes is certainly worthy of consideration.
