country church and the work which it is doing as there were those who were
doubtful of its efficacy. The volume is rather made up of facts brought
forward by the personal investigations of the authors, and conclusions
based on these facts.

"Mr. Gill and Mr. Pinchot, collaboring in this problem of rural life, have
given us a book which will at once become an authority in its
field."--_Christian Work._

"The facts and figures are definite and illumined by a myriad of
side-lights."--_Boston Transcript._

"Differs from almost all the others because of the thoroughness of the
investigation and the soundness of the conclusions."--_San Francisco
Chronicle._

"Deserves most thoughtful consideration.... Should arouse attention and
stimulate effort to restore to the country church the influence that it is
losing."--_Christian Endeavor World._

Prophecy and Authority: A Study in the History of the Doctrine and
Interpretation of Scripture.

BY KEMPER FULLERTON

Professor of Old Testament Language and Literature, Oberlin Graduate
School of Theology

_Cloth, 12mo._

The purpose of this volume is two-fold--to discuss the principles and the

and the doctrines of Scripture affect each other in the Church's
interpretation of prophecy and to show how the scientific principles of
interpretation adopted by the reformers inevitably lead to the abandonment
of the Millenialist theory and dogmatic view of Scripture, and that these
results are at the same time religiously desirable.

chief aspects of this earliest of our Gospels. The work is a real
introduction to Mark's Gospel a
