useful to him for keeping the blessing, and then commends him to Christ

A Truly Evangelical Exposition
of the
Sunday and Festival Gospels of the Church Year,
translated and excerpted from the Gospel Harmony of the Lutheran
theologians M. Chemnitz, Polyk. Leyser, and Joh. Gerhard.
Published by the monthly Preachers' Conference at Fort Wayne, Ind.
First Volume.
St. Louis, Mo., published by Aug. Wiebusch und Sohn.

Of this work, hitherto published in individual fascicles, this first
volume has now appeared, which contains the exposition of the gospel
pericopes from the first Sunday in Advent up to the fourth Sunday after
Epiphany, including that for the second day of Christmas, New Year's
Day, and the Feast of the Epiphany. The work from which this exposition
is taken is altogether beyond all our praise. As long as the Lutheran
church has possessed it, so long has it also been held to be the highest
flower of Lutheran scriptural exposition after Luther. We take the
liberty here of referring to what we have already communicated about
the work in the July issue of the first volume of "Lehre und Wehre,"
pp. 208–211. Because the work has here been given in translation and in
extract, it has, far from having lost value, rather gained significantly
for its intended main purpose, namely to be an aid in preparing sermons.
Not only does the highly successful translation open up this precious
treasure even to those unacquainted with the Latin language, but it also
eases direct use for those who command that language; and since only an
extract (though a literal one) is meant to be supplied, only that has
been omitted which would have served less the purpose of sermon
preparation — indeed, often, given the shortness of time
