32 The Lutheran Pioneer:

and wanted to join my church. I told him we didn’t
allow a man to have more than one wife. He went
away, and the next week came back with the young
wife, both of them smiling, and said, ‘Now me join
church; me all right now.’ ‘Where is your old
wife?’ I asked. ‘She all right too; me eat her up,’
quietly answered the old savage to my great horror.”

In the Service of Fashion.

A pastor of a large city congregation writes:
A woman gave 5 cents/at a collection for church
purposes, and then complained that those calls
came so often. The same week she paid 20 dollars
for a fashionable bonnet for. one of her daughters.
Another gave 3 cents at a missionary collection, and
the next day many dollars for jewelry. A church
member had nothing to give for church building,
but spent the same season several hundred dollars
at a fashionable watering place for personal pleas-
ure in the service of fashion.

BOOK TABLE.

Be Tnou My Gume! A Handbook of Advice and Com-
fort for Young Lutherans Newly Confirmed. Con-
cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price,
20 cts.; gilt edge, 25 cts.

This is the English edition of the Confirmation Booklet
which we recommended in our March issue. It is not
a mere translation of the German, but a free rendering
of the same, thus avoiding the stiffness often found in
translations. The neat little volume should find a wide
circulation among the confirmed people, old and young,
in the Lutheran church. It will prove helpful not only
in keeping God’s children in the narrow way, but also
in bringing back the erring and wandering.

_the principles involved, and the application of these prin-

ciples to practical affairs. This timely, well-arranged
