J. C. McPheeters, D. D., Pastor of Glide Memorial Methodist Church, San Francisco, Calif., to the reading public, and especially to those who rec- ognize the leadership of the Holy Spirit in true evangelism, the salvation of sinne'rs and the sanctification of believers. The Scriptures have spoken very plainly on the importance, in fact, the absolute necessity, of holiness, that we may enter into eternal rest at the conclusion of our life in the body in this world. The Scriptures not only proclaim the divine requirement of a full deliverance from sin, but they make abundant provision in Jesus Christ for our full salvation. and declare that, "He is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we can ask or think." This is a wonderful promise and, no doubt true, that we never have nor ever shall be able to grasp the power of our Lord Jesus to deliver from sin, and to keep those who commit themselves to Him. Nothing can be more important than a Church in the world which is a real Bride of Christ, separate from sin, cleansed by the blood of our gracious Redeemer and filled with the Holy Spirit. Dr. McPheeters has rendered a splendid ser- vice in writing this book on so vital and important a subject. We trust it may have a wide reading, and feel sure that it shall prove beneficial "to those who thoughtfully and prayerfully peruse its pages. Faithfully yours, H. C.

There is a silver lining to every cloud and a polar star in every night. Life is constantly beset with the fogs of discouragement which would obscure the gleam of the day-star of hope. None of us is exempt from the School of Hard Knocks. Seeming defeat meets us again and again on this earthly highway. He who learns the golden secret of finding the azure gleam in the night will have learned how to take the remains of defeat and turn it into victory. All of the thorns of life cannot be removed, but they may be handled without defeat. One of life's sharpest thorns is physical affliction. Discouragement finds fertile soil in a broken body. Despondency is the forerunner of defeat. The path of victory winds the sunlit hills of encouragement. The chapters in this book deal for the most part with the thorn of physical suffering. The characters described are life-stories which have come under the author's personal observation. If any who read this little volume find encouragement and a stimulation of faith, its purpose will be fulfilled. Julian C. McPheeters --- CONTENTS 1. Victor-Not Victim 2. Three Years in the Ozarks 3. Turning to the West 4. God's Sanatorium 5. Victors of the Fray 6. More Victors of the Fray 7. The Hallelujahs of Life

But we also find the incoming tides and rents in the clouds through which shines the Day Star of hope for a confused and troubled world in its mad rush toward chaos and ruin. While the hands on the clock of human progress are threatened to be turned back- ward for a thousand years, it is encouraging to know that there is a "balm in gilead" and that there is a "physician" whose healing touch is sufficient for such a perplexed and baffled world as we confront today. Amid all of the shifting and changing scenes of time which have brought us to our modern world, Jesus Christ has lost none of the efficacy of His saving power. The Religious Trends of Today reveal the fact that the gospel of Christ still remains "the power of God unto salvation unto everyone that believeth." J. C.
