He said: ‘‘Supposing that a woman should dress a dog in men’s clothes and tell people it was her husband, how would the husband like it? But you do worse: you dress up a stick or stone and tell people that it is God!’ The Bible says: They that make these idols are like unto them: so is everyone that trust- eth in them. Installation of Mr. Napoleon Seeberry. Mr. Seeberry is a former pupil of Bethlehem school, New Orleans. After Confirmation he en- tered our Teachers’ Seminary at Addison, IIl., where he remained four years, and finished his studies in the newly opened Luther College, under the direction of the Rev. F. J. Lankenau. Gradu- ating last June, he was soon after called to take charge of the third class of St. Paul’s School, thus remaining under the supervision of his former in- structor. On the 17th Sunday after Trinity he was installed in his office with appropriate ceremonies conducted by Rev. Lankenau, who preached from Matt. 18, 10.11. May God abundantly bless the efforts of this young laborer in His vineyard, and may the work he is doing bear fruit in a rich har- vest of souls. K. KrerzscHMar. Not a Friend of Noisy Meetings. Aunt Judy was not a friend of noisy meetings, in which people jump and shout. To one of her shouting colored sisters she said: ‘‘’Tain’t de true grace, honey; ’tain’t de sure glory. You hollers too loud. When you gets de love in your heart, and de Lamb in your bosom, you'll feel as if you was in dat stable at Beth’lem, and de blessed Vir- gin had lent you de sleeping Baby to hold.”’ OUR BOOK TABLE. Licut pes LeBENs. Ein Jahrgang von Evangelien-Predig- ten aus dem Nachlass des seligen Dr. C. F. W. Walther, gesammelt von C.J. O. Hanser. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $2.25. The Rey. O. Hanser has done the Church good service by collecting and preparing for publication this new volume of Gospel sermons from the brilliant pen of the sainted Moe. Walther, whose praise as a sound theologian and as a master of the art of preaching is in all the churches. Of Walther’as a preacher one of Germany’s divines wrote: ‘Walther is as correct in form as a University or Court Preacher, and yet as popular as Luther himself. If the Lutheran church wishes to bring her doctrines again among the people, she must be as faithful and firm in doctrine and as touching and timely in form as is the case with Walther. Walther is a model preacher in the Lutheran church.”? And an American divine wrote of Walther’s sermons: ‘They are models of Christian sermons, full of Christ and of the way to God through Him. They are withal so simple, so trans- parent, and so direct that the common people can read them gladly, and yet so thoughtful, so comprehensive, and so suggestive that the educated cannot but be instructed and edifled. What a blessing for all time, that these sermons will be read and pondered over in tens of thousands of households, teaching how to believe in Christ and to over- come by the blood of the Lamb!”’ This new volume of Walther’s sermons also sets forth Christ as the Light of the world, in whom all that believe find the light of everlasting life. May the precious book be blessed for the salvation of sinners, for the perfecting of the saints, and for the edifying of the body of Christ. Acknowledgment.
