number of centennarians apparently

The tenth anniversary of the Wom
an's Auxiliary was celebrated by a
birthday party the fourth Monday in
May on the manse porch, with all the
party frills. The program prepared
by the Auxiliary office was used. The
college girls or teen-age circle, just
organized in April, had charge of the
music. (This circle promises to be
the livest one in the Auxiliary.) Our
president presented the birthday cake
to our guest of honor, the pastor's
mother, who was visiting at the
manse at that time, who in turn pre

teen-age circle, in their summer

largest in the history of the local
Auxiliary, who might at this time also
have celebrated their fourth birthday.
A generous offering was received.

BRYAN ANSWERS DARWIN, IN HIS CHALLENGING BOOK
IN HIS IMAGE
By WILLIAM JENNINGS BRYAN
266 Pages. Cloth, $1.75
"In this book Mr. Bryan deals with some of the fundamentals of our faith, not in a
technical way, but in a way to appeal to the masses of our thoughtful people. He is
quite at home in handling the subject of religion. No public man of modern times has
ever spoken and written more constantly on religious themes than he. not even Mr.
Gladstone. His long experience as a student and teacher of the Bible, his unsurpassed
power of effective popular statement, and his unique command of the world's attention,
indicate him as the right man to speak a reassuring word from the layman's point of view
to those who in our time have been confused by current skepticism{ especially to those of
our young people who have been unsettled by the teaching given in their schools. One
need not agree with him in every point of detail in order to appreciate the value of the
service he has here rendered the evangelical faith. The first three chapters, on God, the
Bible, and Christ, are concerned with the foundations of religion; most of the others
deal with applied Christianity. Hon. James M. Beck, the eminent publicist of Phila
delphia, though disagreeing radically with most of Mr. Bryan's political views, says he
has affected the public thought of America and the character of its institutions more than
any other political leader of our day and generation, with the single exception of Theodore
Roosevelt. There are many who would not even make that exception. This book is
going to have an enormous circulation, and it will be interesting to observe the extent to
which the author's already nation-wide influence will be increased by this sturdy defense
of old-fashioned religion." ? W. W. Moore, President, Union Theological Seminary,
Richmond, Virginia. ^
