A PRICELESS GIFT TO THE CHURCH
SOUTHWESTERN, the College of the Mississippi Valley once a dream, is now becoming a reality.
The spur track on the campus is ready for hauling cars of materials. The architect's plans for the first
buildings are complete. The quarry has been secured and stone is being quarried.
The only delay now is in the payment of pledges.
December is Pay-Up Month
Contracts cannot be let until the cash is in bank. Pay your pledge in full, if possible, and help us to speed up the building pro

righteous will find no forgiveness in
Him, for they do not try to find it.
But no sinner ever went to Him in
the right spirit, who did not receive
salvation.
Jesus was the greatest of all mis
sionaries. He came from heaven to
seek and to save the lost, by bringing
to them salvation. He came to con
quer Satan, and showed His power of
doing so, by driving out of men the
devils by which they were possessed.
In the face of the plain teaching of
Scripture, let no one deny that men
were really possessed of devils.
In the short period of His life time
on earth, and especially of His pub
lic ministry, Jesus could not reach all
the people of Palestine and spend
enough time with them to win them to
salvation, much less could He reach
all the world. So He sent out first
His twelve Apostles and then seventy
other disciples, in order that they
might tell of the coming of the Sav
iour. So today He sends out His peo
ple to tell those who are in ignor
ance of Him, that He is the Saviour
of sinners. Every Christian should
be a missionary to some one or more
who knows not Christ.
One of the most important lessons
taught in the Bible is that which deals
with our duty to our fellowmen. The
Jews held that they must render any
assistance needed by a neighbor, pro
vided he was a Jew. But they taught
that there was no obligation resting
hpon them to do anything for the ben
efit of one of another race. Jesus,
in the parable of tbe good Samaritan,
taught that our neighbor is the man
that needs our help. It is not a ques
tion as to race or locality. Our near
est neighbor, the one who needs us
most, may be in Africa or China.
Jesus was often beset by enemies,
those who made slanderous charges
against Him, and who would have
done Him any harm that was possible.
It is a comforl to know that He had
friends, loyal and true, who loved
Him and delighted to have Him in
their home. How often we have en
vied Martha and Mary, ang yet, why
should we? We can have Him just as
really in our homes, as they had Him
in theirs. He offers to come In and
abide in any home that wants Him.
Jesus teaches us that we are to
hypocrisy and to put our trust in Ood.
He shows how Ood will treat us, by
showing how He cares for the birds
and flowers. Without any conceit, we
can say we are worth more than they
are. So we can be assured that Ood
will take care of us, if we are as faith
ful in fulfllling the purpose of our
lives as are the birds and flowers. They
do what Ood wants them to. If we
will do what Ood wants us tn do, we
ill never lack His care.

HELPS
Tarbell's Teachers' Guide. By Mar
tha Tarbell, Ph.D. Publishers, Flem
ing H. Revell Company, New York.
Price $2. This is the eighteenth an
nual volume of the Guide. It is a
wonderfully practical help in the study
of the lessons. One of its striking
features is the number of well-chosen
selections from many of the great
writers of the world. Usually the ex
position is very good. But there is
one very serious objection to it. Dr.
Tarbell does not believe in the super*
natural in the miracles of the Saviour,
and never fails to try to explain them
by natural causes. 1ms is, of course,
practically denying the Inspiration of
the Scriptures. For this reason it is
not a safe book to put into the hands
of young people or any others who
are not well grounded In the faith.
It seems strange that a writer of Dr.
Tarbell's ability should undertake in
this way to undermine the faith of
her readers.

Torrey. Publishers, Fleming H. Rev.
ell Company, New York. ' Price 35

graph at a time and brief and pointed
comments are made upon the teaching
of the paragraph. None can bring
out the heart of the passage more
briefly and pointedly than can Dr. Tor
rey. The other new feature is a well
prepared set of a few questions to
questions to bring out the meaning
of the passage in a way that will prove
a help to teacher who will use it.

book gives many examples of his work
and helpful suggestions for doing this
