RELIGION IN BOOKS
By ROY L. TAWEs

PREACHING FROM THE PRO-
PHETS, by Kyle M. Yates. Harper
and Brothers, New York. So. The
result of much study in a special
field, this title belongs among the
better books on the Prophets. The
chapter on Hosea is worth the
possession of the book. Hosea S
sense of the infinite love of God
made it possible for him to under
stand the true nature of sin. In
the great divine heart there is an
unending conflict between His
hatred of sin and His love of the
sinner" Each chapter in its char
acter study presents the political,
social and religious background,
and points out literary qualities
and spiritual values. The practical
lessons at the end of each chapter
are sentence sermons. One feels
that the author Overquotes, but all
his quotations are good. A reading
of this volume will convince the
reader that our times have no mo-
nopoly on wickedness and oppres-
sion. DR.. Yates has established
kinship between the world of the
prophets and our own. A good
book for timely preaching and
reading.
THE STORY OF THE BIBLE
PEOPLE, by Muriel Streibert Cur
tbs. Macmillan, New York: $1.75.
Useful for home and Church School
this story of Bible heroes covers a
period from Moses to Paul. In
view of the authors approach it is
to ge wondered why the study was
not begun with Abraham. The
book is for young people from nine
to fourteen years of age, and head
line topics are aptly worded.
Tastefulness is evident in the illus
trations, and the pages include a
"reading record" and "time ladder"
There are also helpful suggestions
for using this book with children.
AS for the reading matter there is
the writer's art of grand simplicity.
THE LIEUTENANT'S LADY, by
Bess Streeter Aldrich. Appleton
Century, New York. So. Good fic-
ton in the tradition of he author
Free from the vulgarity of much
literature, this novel of frontier
days is pleasing in its romance and
history. Linnie Colsworth and her
lieutenant are a part of that heroic
army of men and women who stood
guard between the red man and
civilization. The account of their
experiences amid hardship an
danger shows how they bravely
met the challenge. Be a good SOL
der. AS Interestingly told as
true story which indeed it may be,
and with characters that linger
long in the memory, Bess Streeter
Aldrich will delight again her large
following.

CHRISTMAS 1919

CHRlSTMAS 1442
In the little town of Bethlehem,
Where the Blessed Christ was
born,
In a manger low and humble,
On happy Christmas morn.
There the shepherds found Him;
There they knelt in fervent
prayer
To worship the little stranger
AS He lay sleeping there.
They showered their gifts upon
Him,
Gold, frankencense and myrrh;
They bowed before Joseph and
Mary,
Amazed and perplexed as they
were.
The shepherds had followed star
Thru the desert bleak and wild,
And here at the end of their journey
They found the Little Child.
At this Christmas-tide the world is
sad;
We are torn with war and grief;
Gods gift to us was His only Son.
Let us accept Him, and find re-
lief.
Let the gift we lay at His feet today
Be prayer for peace--the war
to cease
A gift of love to this Little Child
The shepherds found in a man
ger,
When they crossed the desert bleak
and wild.

Those mighty Russian warriors,
determined to drive the Nazi foe
out of their country, have started
new drive that has carried them
directly into the Ukraine and is
threatening Karkov, great indus
trial city of the Ukraine. Dozens
of villages are being retaken by
the Soviets, and reports seeping
out of Europe today state that the
Germans have been forced to bomb
and strafe their own troops in
some sections of the Eastern front
to keep them from surrendering to
the Russians enmasse. Just what
has caused this more than sudden
crackzup of German morale can not
exactly be learned, although we
have it on best authority that the
Russians, following the expert ad-
vice of a famous Civil War general
who has long mouldered into dust.
'are getting there fustest with the
mostest men," That is a sure way
to win battles, and he who wins
battles consistently generally wins
wars.
/s/s/
From neutral Sweden comes the
report that certain classes of the
Swedish army has been called up
for drill. This might not mean a
thing, and on the other hand, il
may mean that the Germans are
becoming uneasy about Norway
and Finland, and to perfect their
far-North defenses are planning to
launch an attack on the Swedes.
We have never been in Sweden, but
have read much about the brave
Swede, who only wants to be let
alone, to go his own way, live his
own life and enjoy the good things
that the good Lord provided for all
mankind. He is not a fellow to be
trified with; it matters not to him
whether Hitler has four divisions
or 400, he will fight him if he steps
one foot on Swedish soil, and he is
well equipped; his ordnance is
rated the best in the world, and his
navy, while small, is speedy with
tremendous fire power.
P/s/
General Chang Ching-hui, puppet
ruler of Japanese-controlled MAN
chukuo", has killed himself, taking
to the grave with him his family,
the Japanese advisor to his office
and five other high officials of the
Manchukuo government. Reason he
could no longer stand Japanese
oppression. We believe that it was
not oppression but, rather, disgust
with himself for allowing himself
to become embroiled with such a
filthy crew.

BUY BONDS
Bonds bought in 1941 d
Have furnished our boys with
many a gun,
And from the headlines you can see
We are in front where we ought
to be.
Buy more bonds and give them
hell
Before they have a breathing spell,
And shorten the war as we only can
By giving our all to our fighting
man.
A Christmas present from every
man
Should be a bond for Uncle Sam,
So he can finish the job in record
time
Is an inside job of yours and mine.
Do not let our heroes die
For lack of bonds we did not buy;
So, let us all here now decide
To take the Axis for a one-way
ride.
