ten times more for home work than before 1898.

West Inpres.—The Lutheran Danes have
churehes in Danish West Indies, on the islands of
St. John, St. Thomas, and St. Croix. Among these
is an English Lutheran negro congregation. They
sent a pastor to these islands in 1665.

Dairy Portion Orrertnc.— Says the Chris-
tian Worker: What is called “God’s Daily Portion
Offering” is a practice among black Christians in
British and German East Africa. Flour, or fruit,
or something which is part of “our daily bread,”
is received for God’s use, and, in due course, is
turned into money and entrusted to the treasurer
of this special fund. On a fixed Sunday in a month,
during morning worship, there is a quiet interval
in which members of the different households repre-
sented in the congregation leave their seats, and
reverently place in the alms dish their “Daily Por-
tion Offering” for the past four or five weeks. Then
there is perfect silence for a few moments while the
offering is presented to God for His house of prayer
and worship. At the close of the service the ordi-
nary collection is made as usual, the people under-
standing that the gifts of the “Daily Portion Offer-

ing” are not in any way to take the place of the |

weekly alms or any other gifts to God.

This book is the companion volume to the volume |
which, dealing with the Bible stories of the New Testa-
ment, appeared about two years ago, and which was given
high praise and was heartily weleomed as an excellent
help for Bible teachers and Bible readers. This book,
dealing with the stories of the Old Testament, deserves
the same high praise and will, no doubt, find the same
hearty welcome.
