Impressions by the Way

WE have received from the author, Prof. Hubertus Elffers, of Cape Colony, South Africa, a book entitled “Impressions by the Way.” It is a series of essays, or meditations, on the responsibilities and dangers of life in these strenuous times, and an appeal for clean and vigorous thinking and devotion to principle. Some of the chapter topics are, “Religion,” “Education,” “War,” “Truth,” “Character,” “Friendship,” “Society,” “Diet,” and other phases of life and character in relation to God and eternity. On “Faith,” the author says: “By faith the sons of God will henceforward regulate their diet, dress, habits; by faith set their houses in order; by faith conduct their business; by faith maintain intercourse with a world of sin; by faith escape its pollution; by faith overcome its temptations; by faith await their returning Lord.” The writer is one of our brethren, well-known in South Africa as a Dutch scholar and author. The book is issued by Brother Elffer’s own press, at one dollar, and may be secured by addressing him at “Rustica,” Wynberg, Cape Colony.
