..-.-1 THE BEACON l--- ORTH-WHILE BOOKS SEEKERS OF LIGHT By CLARENCE W. CRANFORD This book is composed of vesper messages that were delivered to young people in Summer Assemblies and put into writing at the unanimous request of the young people themselves. In the messages youth talks to the heart of youth in straightforward simplicity. Well has Dr. M. Joseph Twomey, Pastor of the Baptist Temple- Philadelphia, called the book a 'log' of soul travels by one who has found some sureties and is on the trail of others. Cloth, 31.25 net WASTE-BASKET SURGERY By GORDON s. SEAGRAVE The author tells of his work as a medical missionary in Namkham. Burma. With instruments salvaged from the scrap-pile of an American hospital, and with other material equipment most crude and disabling, he pitted his intelligence, skill, and heroism against appalling con- ditions of disease. The story awakes laughter, stirs admiration, grips and convinces. It is a stirring pres- entation of the reasonableness and charm of a great ad- venture in Christian helpfulness. Cloth, 51.50 ner STORIES FOR ALL THE YEAR By SARA WARD STOCKWELL One hundred and eight stories of special interest and teaching value for children in primary classes. Every- day life stories. religiously interpreted. for use in week- day church schools and vacation church schools. Pro- vided with indexes showing the ethical content of the individual stories, and classifying the material so as to indicate the portions which would be of particular serv- ice in any one department of a closely graded school. Cloth. 31.50 ner WINNING YOUTH FOR CHRIST By PAUL JUDSON MORRIS The vital business of the evangelism of youth re- ceives here a new and intensely practical treatment. In ten chapters the author discusses the aim, preparation for the work. the nature of young people, the appeal of Christ to youth. children's meetings, personal work of youth for youth, classes for new Christians, assimilating youth into the life of the church, and similar themes of immediate concern. There is an extensive bibliography as well as a group of suggested addresses for use in classes of inquirers and another group of lessons for new church-members. The author writes, not of theories, but of methods proved in trial. Cloth, 31.25 nel PIRESIDE TALKS FOR THE FAMILY CIRCLE By ALBERT W. BEAVEN Doctor Beaven sees the home as the center of most important constructive personal and social intiuences of religion. The book is practical, embodying the results of actual experiments conducted not only in the anthor's own home. but in the homes of the other members of a Commission on Religion and the Home in the church of which he has been pastor since 1909. Some of the suggestive chapter titles are The Family Altar and the Altered Family, The Family Library, Pictures and the Family Culture, Table Talk, The Two and Their Money. Cloth. 31.25 net CADET STEPHEN By ALICE PICKFORD EVANS Natural ability. culture, travel-experience, dramatic insight and real religion have perfectly equipped the author to write this splendid little book. Whether the author especially means to emphasize it or not. the reader is more than once thrilled as he realizes how the experiences and the decision of a moment or two made for Cadet Stephen all the difference between a great life and a mean one. The reader feels all the while that the son of such a mother could not possibly go wrong, and yet all the while you know that he could. The finest thing about it all is that Cadet Stephen is not only one man: he is a type. We have hundreds of them in those far-off lands. Ir is the missionary story supreme. Cloth, 31.25 net YOUNG PEOPLE AT WORK IN BAPTIST CHURCHES By CHARLES ARTHUR BOYD This volume presents the work of young people in the church as a unit. all their activities as parts of a single church-centered program. A brief history of the young people's movement is given, then a statement of the need of correlated plans of work, followed hy a resume of attempts to meet the need. Eight of the ten chapters are given to a description of the purposes and contents of such a program, with its emphasis on wor- ship, study of the Bible and of missions, service, fel- lowship and specialization. A unique feature is the ap- pendices, which contain suggestive constitutions, details of organization, and sources of help.
