PRESENT DAY PARABLES is a rare collection of clear-cut, spiritual, truthilluminating illustrative stories, incidents and short expositions of scripture. In addition to those prepared by Dr. Chapman, he has included some gems from men of power in preaching: J. Robertson, C. H. Spurgeon, J. R. Miller, A. Maclaren,D. L. Moody,B. F. Mills.

Those who know of Dr. Chapman’s evangelistic work, will realize the value of this collection of illustrations that illustrate the saying: “A sermon without illustrations is like a house without windows.”

Commenting on the author’s qualifications for such work, the Allegheny Herald says: “We know of no one so effective in the use or selection of an illustration for making clear or enforcing a scripture truth as Dr.

Chapman. A volume of illustrations coming from such a teacher certainly will have great value to anyone engaged in religious work.”
