the National Council with respect to the fund for permanent reconstruction
in Tokio. The Council meets on the 20th and 21st of February. This
means a week’s delay. This, in turn, will mean that many cannot possibly

Special articles will cover a wide range of mission activities. Cuba will

Tutankhamen and Egyptology


By th e R ev. S. A. B. M ercer, D.D. Fully illustrated with maps. Price $1.50. I
Postage about 8 cts.
The most timely book of the year. Dr. Mercer places the redoubtable
Tutankhamen in relation to Egyptian history, and tells a most interesting story
of his times. He also discusses the relation of Tutankhamen to the Israelites
and the Exodus and to the events of the Bible generally.
This is easily the book of the year!

Spiritual Healing and the Holy Communion


The New Practice and the Old Sacrament
By the R ev. G eorge W m. D ouglas , D.D., Hon. Canon of the Cathedral of
St. John the Divine. An attractive booklet. Paper, 35 cts. Postage, 2 cts.
A remarkable little booklet. Dr. Douglas points out that the psychology of
the new healing movement of recent years is precisely that psychology which the
Church has used in all the ages to bring men into intimate touch with the Divine
Life through the Holy Communion. First printed for private circulation some
fifteen years ago, it is now published in more permanent and attractive form in
this little booklet.
