 In these days of research and specu- .lation, of doubt and of explaining away" the Scriptures, it is good to know that there are those who believe The Word as it was given, and who rely on the provi- dences and promises of God. The Anti Infidel Library, edited and published by H. L. Hastings, AZ and 49 Cornhill, Bos- ton, Mass, has been prepared to resist infdelity in the belief that it's wide eircu- lation is demanded by the increase of skepticism and skeptical literature, and that it's perusal will fortify the christian as we'll as instruct the unbeliever. These books are like all Hastings publications. undenominational, moderate in price, and should be in every library and in every home. Rev. Dr. A. T. Pierson of Phila- delphia says: ''I do not know anything in the English tongue that meets the cur rent +skepticism as we'll as these," and they are heartily endorsed by many other prominent scholars and philanthropists in all parts of the world.
