The following are brief reviews
of -the books that have recently
been added .to the Odem Library
THE GREAT DECISION, Jamas
T. 8hotweil.—As these words are
being written (August 1944) the
military situation throughout the
World is so heavily balanced In
favor of the' Allies that plans Xor
establishing peace after the fighi-
lrtg stops are taking more- and more
definite shape. It Is inevitable,
therefore, that a book such as this
should be Included in the new Al-
cove Installment. While stating
frankly at the outset that "the or-
ganization of peace is the. most
difficult task that has ever* been
envisaged by human Intelligence,"
the author undauntedly sets forth
in the ensuing pages the reasons
for his hope, which we all share,
that such a task may he accom-
plished. . This is a serious book to
he read and thought over in .this
great world crisis by all those who
are looking ahead to victory.

RUSSIA AND THE PEACE,
Bernard Pares—Few governments
in the world today are exciting so
much interest and concern as that
of the. U.SvS.R. The author is fa-
miliar to many Alcove readers
through a book of his entitled
"Russia", which was sent out in
j June 1943. He writes in a charming
informal style drawing upon- his
personal experiences extending over
a residence of many yeurs in Rus-
sia. He has recently spent some
time in the United States and ex-
plains that his book has been writ-
ten to answer the questions that
have been put to him in this coun-
try'Oh matters whch will come up
at the peace settlement. It is a
direct contribution to the growing
volume of important literature on
Russia's place in .the international
scene and while more easily read
than the book reviewed just above
is no less a guide and help to read,
ers toward understanding the prom^
lems which must be solved if peace
is to be secured. "
ISLANDS OF THE PACIFIC,
Hawthorne Daniel.—It seems as if
we never before had heard of so
many islands as we have since the
war in the Far East started. Our
last sending for the Alcove con-
tained a' book on islands , of the
East Indies. This book by the same
author deals With Islands of the
Pacific. It will serve as an impor-
tant, and indeed In these times, es-
sential reference book, but will also
serve to identify locations where
many of the individuals of the
U. S. A. armed forces are stationed
and in action. AJmosr every reader
has some contact with this part of
the world through personal rela-
tionship and cannot fail to be inter-
ested to learn more of the lay of
the land, the climate, the native
peoples, and their customs.
ROAD TO ALASKA, Douglas Coe
—At first glance this may appear
to be a book for juveniles and. in
fact it may actually be since the
author and publishers are not giv-
ing away any. secrets about it. Hut
regardless of whom it may have
been written for,. it will hold the
attention of- every adult. The black
and white illustrations with their
sharp, outlines, the maps and the
bracing text, give out an excitement
that cannot fail to carry toe reader
straight through to the end. It is
a story of epic achievement—"the
story of a great road and of the
men who built it."
On Thursday, Oct. 6, the Mission-
ary ' Society of the Odem Baptist

vis Week of -Prayer with an all-day

Hancock, Mrs. A. Ince, Mrs. E. H.

effort there is a definite Eack-to-
the-Bible movement.
This is an appeal to everyone to
become a part in this great forward
Bible study movement and dedicat-

is a good way to start. Help for-
ward the movement by getting your
neighbor interested.

BACK TO THE BIBLE
MOVEMENT
By B. D. STEVENSON
Some years ago, most, if not'all
of the Evangelical denominations
went *100 per cent fo.r programs,
plans and organisations. Now for
some years churches have been
worrying about empty pews. Of
course it is not because-of the plans
and programs and organization blit
in- spite of them.
But there is a Back to the Bible
Movement that is springing up here
and there quite apart from Church
organization that promises to help
fill those pews.
The Inter-Varsity Christian Fel-
lowship is doing a great work along
this line. In some cities there are
Christian Teachers Associations that
organize Satimlay Night Bible study
Groups, thafmeet In the school or
wherever it Is mojlt convenient for
high school students.
There have been many agencies
working to corrupt American youth.
Now there- are these and others
seeking to point them -to righteous
living.
Jim Rayburn of Dallas, recogniz-
ing that., definite concrete action
should be taken to offset this toW-
munistic, atheistic influences that
were undermining the faith of high
students organized the
or J 1 ™ -
Postwar farming Is already here
for 1.12^5 veterans ' i f the ' ph.-sent
World war. who up to midsummer
—July !5 in some regions and Julie
30 ill others—hijil obtained loans
from the Farm Security Adminis-
tration to enable them to go into
farming "on their own.”
Some applications had to be turn-
ed down because of lack of loan
funds, and in some states, rising
land prices have prevented FSA
from making many loans to. help
veterans buy farms because loans
arg made only for farms priced on
the long-time earning capacity of
the land.
War veterans with demonstrated
capacity for farming may apply to
their local county FSA Committee
for assistance, Once the loan is
made, the veteran has the assist-
ance of the FSA county supervisor
in working out a practical plan of
farm operation.

THE OLD JUDGE SAYS...
mm

“The war 6tories I like best, Judge, are
the ones by the special writers overseas
who live right with our troops. They give
us a better idea of how our men react
to things going on ever there and back
here at home.”
f‘ I agree with you, Sam. I never miss che
of those stories in the papers or magazines.
And there’s one thing those writers seem to
agree on no matter where they arestationed
with our men...and that is that the men
who have left their homes and families to go
i£m
away and fight this war don’t want to come
back and find that prohibition has been pu t
over on them while they were away. either,
nationally or locally. They have heard about
the attempts being made and they resent
it bitterly.” .
“ I agree with them, Judge, even though
I don’t happen to drink myself. Further-
more, I don’t think it’s fair for us at home
to be making any* major changes while
10,000,000 of our fighting men are away and
have no chance to express their opinions.”
