Up from the Gates, by Capt. E. H. Beresford Mash, London: Marshall, Morgan and Scott. Price, 1/3.
THIS is an interesting narrative in which the writer gives examples of God’s wonderful answers to prayer in his own experience. The chapter referring to the Dunkirk evacuation—surely one of the miracles of modern times—is full of thrilling incidents. Like so many modern religious books this booklet is not free from expressions that are of an Arminian tendency.
The Roman Catholic System Destructive of our Spiritual, Domestic, and Social Welfare, by Dr. William Hammond. Price 2/-; post free, 2/4.
THIS booklet consists of a series of lectures by Dr. Hammond, an ex-Roman Catholic priest, with comments on Rome’s schools, Indulgences, Roman Catholic Saints, etc. It is a reprint of an edition issued over fifty years ago but its testimony against Romanism in its various aspects has a vigour which holds the reader’s attention. Dr. Hammond is unsparring in his condemnation of a system that has deceived millions and which had also deceived himself for a season. The booklet is issued by the Protestant Society of South Africa, P.O. Box 2976, Cape Town. It may be had in this country from the Protestant Truth Society, 28 Queen Victoria Street, London, E.C.4.
Youth and the Future, by Newman Watts (“A London Journalist”). Price 2d.
MR. WATTS calls attention in this pamphlet to the serious increase in juvenile crime. He traces this to lack of parental authority, the want of religious teaching in the national schools, the secularisation of youth societies, etc. This is what he says of Scouts, Guides, Boys’ and Girls’ Life Brigades, Y.M.C.A. and Y.W.C.A.: “The truth is that in the course of the years these organisations have become increasingly de-Christianised or secularised. They have become largely indistinguishable from mere boys’ and girls’ clubs. As one who has studied this subject very closely, I say, with deep regret, but with equally deep conviction, that these organisations have not given the Church of Christ a fair deal.” The pamphlet may be had from Mr. Watts, 50 Ladydell Road, Worthing.
A Scriptural Witness against Romanism and Ritualism, by R. L. Wheeler.
