Going Deeper, J. Sidlow Baxter, Zondervan Publish­ing House, Grand Rapids, Michigan, 1959, 205 pages, $3.00.

Dr. Baxter, the author of a number of devo­tional books, is widely known on both sides of the Atlantic and around the world. He is in great de­mand as an evangelist and Bible conference speaker. His more recent work, Going Deeper, touches deep spiritual matters. It is indeed a prac­tical application of victorious Christian living, for it is not merely knowing about Christ but verily knowing Him that leads to complete surrender to a sovereign Christ in daily life and loving service. The three areas of this spiritual classic—know­ing, loving, and serving—are the outcome of inti­mate communion, the reward of obedience and re­sponsiveness to the calls of duty. Youth leaders and dormitory deans will find this book inspirational and stimulating, with a message of imperishable significance. It is a scholarly and rewarding volume.

280 Titles and Symbols of Christ, James Large, Baker Book House, Grand Rapids 6, Michigan, 1959 (reprint Hodder and Stoughton, London, England, 1888), 486 pages, $4.95.

The title of this book might suggest a profound style and technical treatise of this Christological subject. In the preparation of this reprint, which Baker Book House considered worthy of another edition, the book's simple style has been preserved. These titles of Christ are classified into natural groupings pertaining to His deity, sonship, offices, human relationships, and social distinctions.

Those titles applying to occupations and archi­tecture, Hebrew rituals and institutions, are also very revealing. Other titles would pertain to the firmament, the earth, the mineral, animal, and vegetable kingdoms. Symbols derived from military terms, typical persons and things, provide avenues for deeper study. Excellent sermonic and prayer meeting ideas suggest themselves to the minister and gospel worker on every page.

Alleged Outside Influence on Ellen G. White

The alleged outside influence on Ellen G. White. The events involved in this charge hap­pened between 1865 and 1867. When we draw conclusions and make serious personal charges based on events that are almost a hundred years old we need to be sure that we understand as clearly as possible the background of events in which the persons involved lived their lives.

The Week of Prayer Revival

The Week of Prayer was originally de­signed to be a source of great spiritual inspiration and help to our people. It is the one time of the year when our churches throughout the world unite in a common quest for spiritual refreshment. As we near the coming of the Lord this should become increasingly necessary.

Infections Today

THE virulent virus I would like to consider with you is a seemingly innocent-looking creature. It was markedly present in the days of Gideon. There was a real epidemic in the early days of David. I sometimes think it is heredi­tary and some small strain is in the race and part of our make-up from birth. It is the virus of being uncommitted.
