Diterary Notices. 51)7of the Islamic faith is like a granite wall which looks like thatit will nev,er he broken down. Still, the gospel of Christ i"the power of God unto salvation to everyone that believeth:,otherwise, the hopelessness of the task facing the m~ssionarymight well beget in him a feeling of despair of ever seeingthe Moslem wmld with its 250 millions turned to Christ. Mr,Haldane is conscious enough of the tremendous difficulties buthe sets .his heart to the work in the hope that the Lord willmove hearts that are hard as adamant. There are two or threeexpressions that indicate Mr. Haldane's theologica,l positionunless ,ve are mistaken. His references to God's love are notsufficiently discriminating and some of ,hits words indicate thathe makes no difference between God's love to His people andHis benevolence to mankind in general.WHY 854 PRmS'l'S LE~'T THE CHURCH OF ROME by Albert Close.London: Protestant Truth Society, 31 Cannon Street, E.C.4.Price, 2/10 (post free).The Protestant Truth Society is doing good service by publishingthis volume which gives in the compass of some 320pages a review of the hundreds of former priests of the RomanChurch wlw have quitted that communion and have beco,me.Ministers of the Church of England and other evangelicalchurches all over the world. Some eighteen months ago a firstvolume was published entitled "662 Priests leave the Churchof Rome." The new volume is a complete revision and withdouble the number of pages in which the reasons for abandonmentof Rome are given more fully, whilst there is a section reviewingthe extraordinary work of Mr. James O'Connor of New Yorkand his great work amongst former Roman Catholics at Christ'sMission. The Church of Rome is not slow to proclaim on thehouse-tops those who join her ranks from Protestant communion"but this volume affords extraordinary evidence of the leakage the,other way. It is a veritable armoury for all ,evangelical workersand the circulation of this volume will be heartening indeed.The painstaking researeh work of Mr. Albert Close deserveswarm commendation.
