Ay ExcovracinG Lerrer. — The following en-
couraging letter was recently received: “While read-
ing the LuTHeraN PIONEER, received to-day, I ran
across the difficult problem that is facing our treas-
urer. Truly, in,this land of abundance, where the
Lord showers temporal blessings upon us, such
problems should not exist. I have the hardest time
persuading my rich congregation to give. The few
collections a year are even too many for some.
Nevertheless, the Lord always finds ways and means
of helping. Let me therefore send you $5.50 out
of our house, which you may receipt as given -by
N. N. Hoping you will be able to solve your
problem with God’s help, I remain sincerely a
friend of our missions,” ete.

This association held a meeting in Philadelphia last
month. <A speaker in an address, setting forth
the achievements of the race, said they owned
$700,000,000 possessions in the United States, ex-
ceeding the possessions of the white peasantry of
Russia. At the beginning of the Civil War the race
numbered 4,500,000. while at the present time
there are 10,000,000. They own 20,000,009 acres
of Jand, equal to the area of South Carolina.

An Earnest Request.

“The last two numbers of Tre ProNEER brought
the request of the Mission Board for Colored Mis-
sions for the names and addresses of families in
which our two missionary monthlies are not yet
read. ‘This request has met with some response,
but it has not been as general as it might have
been. Once more, therefore, pastors, teachers, and
laymen are called upon to send in such lists of names
and addresses. We know very well that we cannot
expect our pastors and teachers to spend several
hours in writing out a complete list of members who
do not read Tie PionEEn, but surely every pastor
arid teacher could spare a few minutes to send in
five or ten names of non-readers. ‘Then, also, a
number of Jaymen may be in a position to send in
lists. Jet them do so. Such as do not wish to
send in lists can get free sample copies of THE
PIONEER in any desired quantity by writing a postal
to the Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

BOOK TABLE.

SAENGERBOTE. Lyrisches Quartalheft. No. 3. Success
Printing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 ets. per copy;
50 cts. per year.

This lyrical quarterly is holding its own. The poems
found in this number are of the same high mtasidora as
those brought in the first two numbers. Not a few of
them are of rare poetical beauty. An article bearing the
title, “Lutheran Tunes for Lutheran Congregational Sing-
ing,” by the editor, is most timely and worthy of widest
reading. If the words of the writer of this excellent ar-
ticle were heeded, the heart-stirring and inspiring tunes
of our Lutheran chorals would not so often have to give
place in our churches to modern “hippity-hop” music, and
our old sublime chorals would not be superseded by the
insipid songs of modern writers.
