Then I listened to Pastor George Vande- man, and I knew he could do just that." Upon her request I took them a gift Bible and the guides and arranged to call back in a week. She then told me that Mr. Ulery had arranged his business so that they could start attending church, and they haven't missed a Sabbath since. She said she could never be an Adventist, and mentioned several points of disagree- ment. I assured her that we were so happy for the agreement she had found and that they were welcome. The other members helped make them feel wanted, and each visit found them closer to us. Within four weeks their de- cision was made.

MINE EYES HAVE SEEN by E. E. Cleveland Your heart will be gripped by this sheaf of sermons preached by the author in his recent West Indies crusade when hundreds of new believers were baptized into the Advent faith. His preaching comes from an experi- ence which he ably communicates to others. Believers will find a new warmth and devotion as they read this volume. Unbelievers will find an assurance and conviction. Cloth $3.25 3 Airy frfecutati to Be 46"a19. BOW IN THE CLOUD by G. H. Minchin What is God's true relationship to trials, sorrow, and death? This book is a fresh approach to the clarification of the age-old problem of human suffering. It gives reasons for courage and fortitude under suffering, and resolution for your dark hours. The author, in eight convincing chap- ters, shows that God's concern for you is as real as that expressed to Noah when He gave him the bow in the cloud. A book you will want to read and lend.
