persuaded of the value and necessity of Christian work in
foreign lands.

"It was a pretty conceit to have a disbanding mission circle
keep up their mutual connection by writing a "round robin." It
is just the thing for girls' mission bands."--_S. S. Times._

MISSIONARY

_JAMES S. DENNIS, D.D._

THE MODERN CALL OF MISSIONS:

Studies In Some of the Larger Aspects of a Great
Enterprise. 8vo, cloth, net $1.50.

Doctor Dennis has brought together in this, his latest volume on
Foreign Missions, eighteen very suggestive and informing
studies. The author might very properly be called the Dean of
the School of the Philosophy of Modern Missions. He is both
keenly analytical as well as broad in his outlook. This
intensity and assurance can hardly fail to deeply impress and
influence the reader. It is preeminently a dynamic book.

_MISS MINNA G. COWAN_

THE EDUCATION OF THE WOMEN OF INDIA
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.25.

The subject is treated historically, philosophically and
suggestively. The contributions made by the government, the East
Indians themselves and the missionaries, to solving the
educational problems of the country are clearly shown. The book
is an important and suggestive addition to the literature of
education in foreign lands, being a worthy companion volume to
Miss Burton's "The Education of Women in China."

_ARCHIBALD McLEAN_

EPOCH MAKERS OF MODERN MISSIONS
Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net $1.00.

The author of "Where the Book Speaks," has given in these
"College of Missions Lectures" a series of sketches of modern
missionary leaders which for clearness, brevity, directness of
style and inspirational value, have rarely been surpassed. Each
characterization is truly "much in little," and the book is a
distinct and most acceptable addition to missionary biography.

_REV. W. MUNN_

THREE MEN ON A CHINESE HOUSEBOAT

The Story of a River Voyage Told for Young
Folks. Illustrated, 12mo, cloth, net 75c.

The story of an actual trip up the Yang-tse river taken by three
missionaries on the way to their stations. In breezy,
easy-flowing narrative one of the three tells the very
interesting story of their fifteen hundred mile journey. The
book should be a very acceptable addition to missionary stories
and side-light reading.

CHRISTIANITY AND THE NATIONS
The Duff Lectures for 1910.
8vo, cloth, net $2.00.

Among the many notable volumes that have resulted from the
well-known Duff foundation Lectureship this new work embodying
the series given by Mr. Robert E. Speer in Edinburgh, Glasgow
and Aberdeen, will rank among the most important. The general
theme, "The Reflex Influence of Missions upon the Nations,"
suggests a large, important, and most interesting work. The name
of the lecturer is sufficient guarantee of the method of
treatment.

_HENRY H. JESSUP_

FIFTY-THREE YEARS IN SYRIA
Introduction by James S. Dennis. Two volumes, illustrated,
8vo, cloth, boxed, net $5.00.

This autobiographical record of half a century's experience in
the mission field of Syria, is rich in color, narrative and
insight. It is also incidentally a history of the mission work
for the period but told with a personal touch and from the
innermost standpoint. It is a pioneer's story, and as such never
lacks in interest.

_JULIUS RICHTER_

A HISTORY OF PROTESTANT MISSIONS IN THE NEAR EAST
8vo, cloth, net $2.50.

A companion volume to "A History of Missions in India" by this
great authority. The progress of the gospel is traced in Asia
Minor, Persia, Arabia, Syria and Egypt. Non-sectarian in spirit
and thoroughly comprehensive in scope. "It is truly a notable
work and can be endorsed in unqualified terms."--_John R. Mott._
