The Lutheran Pioneer.

the Ten Commandments, the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer,
and the Words of Institution. The booklet may be had
with a blank space for a special Seriptural passage or
with such a passage already printed in. — The latter book
contains a blank for the confirmation certificate, the con-
firmation vow, an appropriate poem, three short articles
bearing the titles: “My Salvation,’ “My Duties and Ob-
ligations as a Christian,” and “Perseverance,” and two
prayers for communion day.— Both booklets will prove
most tasty and artistic confirmation souvenirs, and’ we
feel certain that the publishers will find a ready market
for them. Only too often the regular certificates are
wrapped up and put away, to be torn or crumpled be-
fore it is found convenient to have them framed. These

, booklets need no framing, and ean be taken along con-
veniently by the boy or girl that is obliged to leave the
parental home.

LENTEN SERMONS. [By Menry Siccl:, Lutheran Pastor.
Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis.
6X9 in. 238 pages, bound in full black karatol,
with marbled edges. Price, $1.25, postpaid.

The author is well known through various other col-
lections of sermons published in the past. The book con-
tains 47 sermons in 8 courses, treating the passion of our
Savior in its various phases under the following general
headings: 1. Places; 2. Scriptures Fulfilled; 3. Remark-
able Conduct; 4. Wanderings; 5. Addresses; 6. Words
from the Cross; 7. Rays of Glory; S. Persons. Pastor
Sieck in every sermon plainly shows the cause and pur-
pose of the Savior’s suffering and death, which makes
every discourse intensely practical. We would call them
model Lenten sermons. The author’s language is chaste
and simple, popular and yet dignified. We are sorry that
this excellent book could not be reviewed in the February
number, but we hope that many of our readers may never-

theless, even at this late date, procure a copy now, rather x

than wait till the next Lenten season.

DAS FALSCHE UND DAS WAURE PRIESTERTUM.
By Prof. Aug. Pieper. Northwestern Publishing
House, Milwaukee, Wis. Price, per copy, 10 ets.;
per dozen, 75 cts.; per hundred, $5.00.

This tract is an amplification of an address delivered
on the 420th anniversary of Luther’s birthday in the
Auditorium at Milwaukee. The spiritual priesthood of

. all believers is the subject of this fine tract. Clearly and
convincingly the author shows that Luther, by the con-
- sistent teaching of the Scriptural doctrine of the spiritual
priesthood of all Christians, broke the backbone of papacy,
which was founded on the anti-Biblical doctrine of the
sole priesthood of the papal clergy. He then shows how
necessary it is for us to defend this priceless treasure
against all attempts to rob us of it. Whoever wants to
read a clear though brief exposition of the Biblical doc-
trine of the “royal priesthood” of all Christians, and

Tearn what great duties and obligations rest upon the

Christian because of his priesthood, should send for this

pamphlet and read it.

SPIRITUAL SONGS. By Herm. M.Hahn. Ps. 23, 60 cts.;
Ps. 100, GO cts.; -Christ the Gardencr, 40 cls. Three
solos with piano accompaniment. To be ordered
from the author, 1203 Park Ave., Fort Wayne, Ind.,
or from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

These three most excellent compositions are for a me-
dium voice, and are supplied with German and English
texts. The music in each case is remarkably well adapted
to the sentiment expressed by the words. This is particu-
larly true of the Twenty-third Psalm, which we do not
hesitate in declaring a most beautiful composition. ‘The
joyous sentiment of the Hundredth Psalm is also well
brought out, while the sweet simplicity of the music in

Christ the Gardener is certain to make it a favorite in
many a Christian home. All three compositions are en-
joying a second edition. May many more follow, that the

talented composer may be encouraged to favor us with

more of his musical productions.
