Religion In Books
By Roy L. TaWes

MY SERVANTS THE PROPHETS
by Edward J. Young. William B.
Eerdmans Publishing Company,
Grand Rapids. So. A conservative
study OF the prophets, and de-
tense of them as the messengers
of God The author considers what
the Old Testament has to say about
the origin of prophecy and the pro-
phetic institution, the place of the
prophets in the divine economy,
the relation between true and false
prophets, and their meaning in the
ancient land. 1.-TWO kinds Of pro-
phets existed side by side in Israel
the true and the false. The true
came forth with a message from
Jehovah, a message for the benefit
of the nation. The false uttered a
message of human OriginatiOn, and
consequently, one which could not
meet the deep needs of the people
and which could not be for its
ultimate good. Any serious attempt
to account for the origin and ma
ture of prophecy in Israel must
take tall account of these two
groups and Of the profound gull
which separated them. The one
was from man; the other from
God"
CRUCIAL QUESTIONS ABOUT
THE KINGDOM OF GOD by George
E. Lall William B. Eerdmans Pub
fishing Company, Grand Rapids SO
! A thought provoking volume fOl
both liberals and conservatives in
terested in this particular field Tht
book is a text for study, and thu
spirit is good. One knows that tht
author has both thought and felt
He is well read in modern scho
larship, and yet holds firmly to
belief in the Messianic Kingdom
The New Testament is much use,
in this study, and an able presen
tatiOn is made of the Kingdom a
being central in the teachings O
Jesus.

IN MEMoRlAM

In loving memory of our father, VIII
liam II. Donovan, who passed away
January 80, 1851:
Today brings sad memories
OF the day you went to rest
But you will always be remembered
BY those who loved you best.
We often sit and talk of you
When we are all alone
For memory is the only thing
That grief can call its own.
It's lonesome here without you
And sad the weary way
For life is not the same to us
Since you were called away.
And while you lie in peaceful sleep
Your memory we shall always keep
For all of us you did your best,
May God give you eternal rest.
