The lecture on dancing by the late Rev. William Parks, B.A., has been reprinted. It is well written, and gives an impartial consideration to the common arguments for and against dancing. Such as indulge in it should carefully consider this lecture, and lay to heart its admonitions and conclusions.
A lecture by the late Rev. H. C. B. Bazely, B.C.L., on “Standing at Prayer” has been also reprinted. In it the writer searched in the Scriptures for the position taken in prayer by the Lord’s people down to the conclusion of the Bible narrative, and sets the result before the eye of the reader with great fairness. In this age of innovations we strongly advise all who wish to follow the footsteps of the flock of Christ to read it carefully.
The story of “Poor Joseph,” in Gaelic, can be had at the same price as the above. This story is a most striking illustration of the Scripture—”But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise.” It proves the effectual and efficacious power of the Holy Ghost in the application of gospel truths to the weakest mind, and in working saving faith in the heart in order to the receiving of Jesus Christ as a Saviour. The story of “Poor Joseph’s” simple faith and its effects upon his heart by instilling love to Christ and to His people has done much good to the souls of many. We strongly commend it to all who admire God’s grace, also to such as covet an interest in Christ Jesus. These can see in poor Joseph the reality of faith in the testimony God has given of His Son.

THE SATAN OF SCRIPTURE, by the Rev. James Ormiston. Sovereign Grace Union, 98 Camberwell Grove, London. Price 3d, post free, or 25 for 4s 6d.
The Sovereign Grace Union deserve the highest commendation for the bold stand made by them in defence of the plenary inspiration of the Bible, and of the doctrines and principles of the Reformation. It is very refreshing and invigorating to read their leaflets and pamphlets, because they are all based solidly on the rock of truth.
A pamphlet entitled “The Apostacy of the Devil, and the Princedom of the Devil,” lies before us as we write. Rev. James Ormiston has handled in a very able manner the two aspects of Satan’s apostacy and princedom, taking all the evidence from the Bible, upon which he built a case against Satan’s activity in his slaves in the world which, in our opinion, cannot be overthrown. We strongly recommend it to all who wish to see the face of this present generation in the mirror of God’s Word.
