HUMAN CONSERVATION CHRISTIAN AMERICANIZATION FOR ADULTS FOREIGN MISSIONS *New Life Currents in China. Mary Ninde Gamewell This book shows in a striking way the vast influence that Christianity is exerting for human conservation in China, not only in building up a stronger race physically but in developing the intellectual and spiritual resources of a mighty people. Mrs. Gamewell writes with conviction and authority, because of her close acquaint¬ ance with the Chinese people. By way of special preparation for writing this book, she made an extended tour of China, and therefore she is able to interpret the latest movements in politics, in the public health campaign, in general and medical educa¬ tion, in Christian missions, and in the Christian 'Church.

In this book she has collected some of her sketches that have appeared in the Out - look and in other magazines and has added several hitherto unpublished. The scene of many of the stories is the re¬ gion surrounding a great mission hospital; and they reveal in a striking manner what the Christian doctors and nurses have meant to the impoverished and disease- stricken population of China. At this time, when the attention of the mission study classes is being turned to medical missions and the conservation of human life, these stories have special value. Artistic cover-design; well illustrated. Espe¬ cially suitable for a gift book. Handsomely bound; price, $1.50, prepaid. The Uplift of China. Arthur H. Smith Although written in 1906, Dr. Smith’s book contains a great amount of information about the background of Chinese life which is of permanent value and which every student of China will wish to own. The writer is recognized as one of the out¬ standing authorities on China; and his de¬ scriptions of the country and its people, their history, customs, and religions, give the general facts that each mission study class will need for reference. Price, paper only, 50 cents, prepaid. 5 The Emergency in China. F. L. Hawks Pott The author completed his work on this manu¬ script after the opening of the Chinese Parliament in 1913.

Brooks In this book is presented a timely theme which the events of the war have brought insistently before the nation.
