Ministerial Reading Course for 1925
The year 1925 " demands greater efficiency and
deeper consecration " on the part of God's workmen.
As an aid in meeting this demand, four books have
oeen chosen for si FAIN-- not for hasty, casual reading.
To attain greater efficiency," there must be thorough
building upon a solid foundation. The Reading Guide,
furnished free, adds pleasure and profit to the study of
the books. It divides the 1,300 pages of reading mat-
ter comprising the 4,3r books, into convenient por-
tions for daily and AV'1.ekly reading, furnishing refer-
Lances to additional instruction in the writings of the
:-ririt of prophecy, which may be followed with profit.
Romans," by Bishop H. C. G. Moule. Elder A. G.
Baniells speaks of this book in the following language:
" The spiritual tone of the exposition and the constant
application of the saving truths dealt with, help to
make the book not only interesting but helpful to the
reader's spiritual life. .(cid:9) . He gives the reader clear,
(harming, inspiring outlines of sin, faith, works, justi-
fication, sanctification, and glorification, as set forth
in such brevity by the apostle Paul."
437 pages. Price, $1.50.
" Scientific Christian Thinking," by Howard Agnew
Johnston. One writer describes this book as follows:
" The book furnishes a valuable array of fact and
argument for the refutation of atheistic evolution and
the most illuminating presentation of the philosopy of
Christianity and Christ that I have ever read. On the
whole the book inspires and demands straight think-
ing, carrying the reader down to bedrock for a foun-
dation." Price, $1.25.
" Real Prayer," by Cortland Myers. A wonderful little
book on prayer and its meaning in the Christian life
of service. It will provoke thought, and lead to a
truer conception of the Holy Spirit and His work in
human hearts and lives. Price, 60 cents.
" The Ministry of Healing." by Mrs. E. G. White.
" This book contains the wisdom of the Great Phy-
sician." — " Testimonies," Vol. IX. p. 71. Every worker
in the cause of God should be familiar with its contents.

" BE THOU CLEAN "
C. P. BOLLMAN
To those who minister for Him, God says,
" Be clean, all ye who vessels bear for Me.
He who would safely, surely lead the blind,
The path of safety he himself must see."
" Be clean." There's cleansing in the Master's word
To all who fully will His will to do.
There's freedom from transgression in the One
Whose gracious promises are ever true.
So he who'd truly water other souls
Must drink himself of the lifegiving spring,
The smitten Rock from which our fathers drank,
And which alone can true refreshment bring.
Drink, deeply drink, ye messengers of God,
Then say to other souls, " Come ye to Christ,
The fountainhead of life's pure, living stream;
Come, drink of Him who truly quenches thirst."
