# The Lutheran Pioneer_St. Louis_1913_S72 # Machine transcription, uncorrected — CHI Digital Archive (demonstration) 72 The Bible and Other ‘Sacred Books.”’ Besides the Bible there are other so-called “sacred books,” but they all lack Christ. Their seed only spreads error and wrong practices in the lands where they are studied and obeyed. Witness .the cruelties meted out to women and children in India, China, and Turkey. Compared with the good seed of the Bible, those books have in them seeds like thistles and the deadly nightshade. BOOK TABLE. BRASTBERGER’S HAUS-PREDIGTBUCH. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 7449144244 in.; 9 full-page illustrations; 1202 pages; very large type; bound in black leather. Price, $2.00. This is a revised edition of an excellent old German postil. The careful revision is the work of Professor Dau, of Concordia Seminary, St. Louis. These sermons are simple in style, clear in thought, earnest and fervid in spirit; and they cannot fail to make a deep impression upon every honest reader. An appendix brings 18 ser- mons by prominent preachers of the American Lutheran Church. The book is marvelously cheap in price, and the print is such that old eyes will find it a delight to read it. We hope that particularly our old German fathers and mothers will procure this book of edifying sermons for their use at home when frailty of body prevents them to attend public worship. KATALOG DER LEHRANSTALTEN der Missourisynode fuer das Schuljahr 1912/13. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. This pamphlet of 80 pages gives an account of the work done in the two theological seminaries, two normal schools, and seven colleges of the Missouri Synod. Of course, it also contains lists of the students attending these various institutions. While the colleges were mainly founded as Preparatory, schools for the theological semi- nary at St. Louis, the course offered in these institutions is such that any young man desiring a liberal education, or wishing to prepare himself for the study of medicine, law, or some other profession, will find it well adapted to his needs. A postal will bring a catalogue to any one that wants it. SYNODALBERICHT DER EV.LUTH. SYNODE VON MINNESOTA. Northwestern Publishing House, Mil- waukee, Wis. 115 pages. Price, 10 cts. This pamphlet contains an interesting and instructive paper pearing the title: “The First Christian Con, - ion as" bed Acts 2, 42, an Example for Our Chris- tians.” The report also contains financial and statistical“ reports of the Minnesota Synod. ERRETTET, UND ANDERE GESCHICHTEN AUS JESU REICH. Von Pastor .Carl Manthey-Zorn. Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis. Fine cloth binding; 256 pages. Price, 80 cts. This book contains 16 charming stories of distinct literary grace. The master hand of the venerable author draws his characters with a fine insight into human nature and with a decidedly strong touch. The aged writer says in his preiace that this is his first attempt at story-telling of this particular kind, but the touch of the novice is nowhere to be detected. We bespeak a ready sale for these admirable stories, and express the sincere hope tliat we may be permitted to read many more writ- ten by the same incile pen. ; ; The Ioutheren Pioneer. —————————————————————————————— DIE ABENDSCHULE, Published by the Louis Lange Publishing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Vol. 60, No. 1. Die Abendschule has been the household friend of thousands of German-American families during the past sixty years, and we hope that when it celebrates its cen- tennial anniversary, it may rejoice in having even more readers than it has to-day. While no religious periodical, it is truly Christian in character. It judges events and social conditions strictly according to Biblical standards. Die Abendschule is a profusely illustrated biweekly and costs $2.00 per year. In the course of the year a sub- scriber gets about 1,200 pages of reading-matter. Acknowledgments.
