Social Christianity in the Orient: The Storyof a Man, a Mission and a Movement
ByJOHN E. CLOUGH
Written down for him by his wife,Emma Rauschenbusch Clough
Illustrated, Cloth, 12mo, $1.50postage extra
“The Christian world was thrilled over thirty years ago by the story of Dr. Clough’s work. Now for the first time we have opportunity to study his methods, to get at the social, economic and religious principles which lay behind it.”—W. H. Faunce, D.D., President of Brown University.
“Dr. Clough was one of the founders of the modern era in missions. Before him the purpose largely had been to produce a western type of Christianity in Oriental lands. Dr. Clough caught a vision of the transforming of peoples. Upon the foundation of the crude village organization which he found he built a Christianity of Oriental type. His method of baptizing converts from heathenism, thousands at a time, on credible profession of faith in Christ, has profoundly affected the methods of Christianity in India and other lands. In this book we have a graphic description of his ideas and methods and experiences.”—E. F. Merriam, D.D., Managing Editor of theWatchman-Examiner.
“As a life-like delineation or revelation of character, the book seems to me almost beyond criticism. We see Dr. Clough as he was, with all the complexity of his extraordinary character.”—Thomas S. Barbour, D.D., Foreign Secretary, American Baptist Foreign Mission Society, 1899-1912.

Modern Religious Movements in India
ByJ. W. Farquhar.Illustrated. Cloth, 8vo. $2.50
This comprehensive survey of present day religious tendencies in India is of tremendous importance and significance to every student of religion. In it are described the various new religious organizations which, under the impact of the West, have arisen in India during the past century. The Brahma, Prarthana, Arya, and Deva Samajes, the Ramakrishna Movement, Theosophy, the Bharata Dharma Mahamandal, the Caste and Sect Conferences, the Social Reform Movement, and the efforts of Muhammedans, Parsis, Jains and Sikhs to accommodate their systems to the needs of modern times are all dealt with in turn. Portraits of the leaders are included in the volume. The original basis of this work is the Hartford Lamson Lectures on the Religions of the World, though in its printed form the material has been revised and enlarged.
Vital Elements of Preaching
ByArthur S. Hoyt, Professor of Homiletics and Sociology in Auburn Theological Seminary, and Author of “The Work of Preaching” and “The Preacher.” Cloth, 12mo. $1.50
The Work of Preaching, one of Dr. Hoyt’s former books, deals with the sources and formation of the sermon for the present age.The Preacher, still another of his works, places emphasis upon a vital spiritual personality in giving the message. This volume touches the temper of the man both as to the truth and the lives of his hearers. “Preaching,” writes Dr. Hoyt in his preface, “is a social virtue. Nothing can be more fundamental to the preacher than his humanity. The deepest needs and desires of the age must be felt in his life if his word interprets aright the gospel of the new man.”
The author here discusses the psychology of preaching, though without formal and philosophic analysis. He always has in mind the question, How shall we speak so as to help men into the largest life?
