161 



Of all pleasant things, there is none like the delight of opening a big 

 package of new miscellaneous books. 



A piece of furniture shows all there is at first glance, a vase presents itself 

 completely at once, but a package of books is a promise, an adventure, an 

 unguessed riddle ; and when every last page is read, it is ready for reread- 

 ing, for decorating your shelves, and for real service.

The Carpenter and the Rich Man 



"The Call of the Carpenter" was but half of Mr. White's message. 



By Bouck White 



Author of "The Call of the Carpenter" 



It made Christ an interesting personage to rich and poor 

 alike — the new one applies Christ's doctrine of the immorality of riches to modern conditions. Christ said that fellowship and riches 

 were incompatible — Mr. White shows that through the swollen fortunes of to-day we are on the brink of social revolution, and that it 

 is only through a return to Christ's idea of true fellowship that this may be avoided. Net $1 .25. 



America and the Philippines 



By Carl Crow 



There are 5 million inhabitants in the Philippines, more than 90% of them il- 

 literate — all of them backward. The United States holds the Islands — what is its 

 duty toward these people? Is it to make them free and let them work out 

 their own salvation or to govern them with an assurance of peace and prosperity? 



Trade with the islands has trebled since Spanish days. Shall we jeopardize 

 this by rash legislation or allow it to grow as it is now? These are the ques- 

 tions which we as Americans have to face. 



From Mr. Crow's book you will be able to form an intelligent opinion as to 

 the capabilities of the Filipino and the economic future of the islands.
