To young Christians of the world, Pope Francis has a message for you: "Christ is alive, and he wants you to be alive!" In his fourth apostolic exhortation, Christus Vivit, Pope Francis encapsulates the work of the 2018 synod of bishops on "Young People, The Faith, and Vocational Discernment." Pope Francis has always had a special relationship with young people, and in his fatherly love for you he shows that: You can relate to young people in Scripture who made a difference You identify with the Christ who is always young You face difficult issues in the world today You yearn for the truth of the Gospel You are capable of amazing things when you respond to the Gospel You learn and grow with help from the faithful of all generations You need bold and creative youth ministry You can discover who God made you to be You are urged to pray for discernment Christus Vivit is written for and to young people, but Pope Francis also wrote it for the entire Church, because, as he says, reflecting on our young people inspires us all. "May the Holy Spirit urge you on as you run this race. The Church needs your momentum, your intuitions, your faith. We need them! And when you arrive where we have not yet reached, have the patience to wait for us."

Who Is He? An appeal to those who regard with any doubt the name of Jesus. By Sarah F. Smiley. Philadelphia, 1868. Pp. 102. We are not willing to delay an endorsement of this excellent book, although it was received too late for extended notice this week. Every Friend, every Christian, and most especially everyone who is not decidedly a Christian, should possess and read it. The style is perspicuous and elegant-the argument cogent and convincing-the theme worthy of the highest intellect, and one which "the angels desire to look into." We have set aside other matter to make room for the opening paragraph, intending further notice hereafter. Who Is He? In this one short and simple question may be gathered up the complex doubts and difficulties of many hearts. In it we may hear the cry which now again, as often in the past, appeals the most loudly to the Church of Christ. If, as has been said by one who spoke advisedly of the ever-downward tendency of an age of doubt, it must come at last to this-"Is there a God?"-then surely when this most solemn of all verities is established, the next hold in the upward reaching must be upon Him who stands confessedly in some relation or other between God and man;-Who is He?" -Friends' Review: A Religious, Literary and Miscellaneous Journal, Vol. 22 [1869]
