ffTOW MTS. A. T.. j., w uSftHtytOt.i
To r. A. M, Arlington asking for
religious books: We are pleased to
recommend 1.-THE Youths Instruc-
tor" issued by Review and Herald
Publishing Association, Takoma
Park, Washington IL. D. c. They
will send a complete list of publica-
tions for juniors.
From Mrs. w. r. B., Washington J
should like to recommend little
booklet entitled Power" which was
given to my son at our church. 1t
is a quarterly publication of the
National Conference at $40 Broad
way, Nashville 2, Tenn, and is ap-
proved for interdenominational use
by the United Christian Youth
Movement. I believe you will find
it full of suggestive ideas. presented
with enough restraint so that it does
not force issues.
should also like to share book
which I feel has met a definite re-
ligious need in presenting the Bible
in ineligible continuous sequence
for children. It is entitled THE
Bible Story" by Dorothy Childs
Hogner, and I discovered 1t at the
Cathedral Book Shop at Christmas.
The story material Of the Old and
New Testaments Is collected, ar
ranged and cut, preserving the basis
of the King James version. These
are net disconnected, revised Bible
stories as usually found in such
books. but a continuous unfolding
of the whole in the familiar Ian
guage we associate with the original.
I find it equally valuable and inter-
esting for a child's own reading or
to be read aloud.
From L. J. B., WaShihgt3n.)
l would recommend The Sermon
On the Mount" by Emmet Fox and
Power Through Constructive
Thinking" These books teach and
explain what Christ came into this
world: to do. The spiritual inter-
probation. If the young could get
that now, it would do more toward
world peace than the giving OF
money can ever accomplish.
(From L. S. H., HydttsDille.)
I should like to suggest THE
Upper Room" edited by j. Manning
Potts, 1908 Grand avenue, Nashville
4, Tenn, for daily meditations.
It Is q Methodist publication. pub
lished bimonthly.
Also the works of DR.. Norman
Vincent Peaie of the Marble Cole
giate Church (reformed. New York
City, are very inspirational. 1t would
be necessary to contact that church
for further information. but it would
be worth the effort. The church is
located on Fifth avenue.
Should like to suggest that you
write the Moody Press, 153 Institute
place, Chicago 10. ILL.,, and ask for
their free book catalogue, 1948-9. In
it. believe, you will find listed what
you are seeking. May also recon-
mend the Pilgrim Edition of the
Holy Bible, published October Z by
Oxford, as being excellent for any
young Christian to use in the study
of Gods Word.

VIOLET TROUBLE?
From Mrs. W. B., Washington.D
Can some one advise me what to
do with fhy African violet, that
seems to be whiting, and the leaves
while they are nice and green seem
to be limp and not feel crisp and
fresh, as my other violet leaves do.
I have several varieties, about IL
In all, and all of them get the same
attention. My other plants look
fresh and hearty, but are not
blooming at present, even though I
have been using the egg water that
one of our readers suggested some
time ago. This particular plant
looks green and healthy, but the
leaves are limp and lifeless. Your
kind help will be appreciated.
