His language is plain and simple, and yet most choice throughout. The author never loses sight of the fact that these are sacred discourses, yet such is his gift of direct personal applica- tion that his sermons remain interesting at all times. He finds no necessity at any time to surrender the solem- nity of his language to gain the interest of his hearers. And they are truly evangelical, these sermons. They preach faith first, then duty; first healing, then service. — While the texts on which these discourses are based are not the regular pericopes, these texts have, never- theless, been chosen on account of their bearing on the Gospel-lessons of the church-year.— We find the price of this large volume of 321 pages in its handsome buck- ram binding surprisingly cheap. CONVERSION AND ELECTION. A Plea for a United Lutheranism in America. By F. Pieper, D.D. Cloth; 151 pages. Price, 50 cts. This is the English version of Dr. Pieper’s Zur Eini- gung, of which a second edition has appeared within six months after its publication. It candidly and openly states the main points at issue, and makes no pretense at wishing to bring about an external organic union at the expense of a full confessional agreement. But while candid, the book. is not offensive; the language through- out is most amicable, and the irenic spirit which ani- mates the venerable author is so plainly revealed on every age that the candid reader cannot but be attracted. xr. Pieper states the chief issues which divide the Lu- theran urch of America so lucidly, shows so clearly and convincingly how alone the differences among us may be removed, and plesds so warmly and winningly for a united American theran Church, that we cannot but pray that God may speed the book on its way and give it success in its blessed mission. EVANGELICAL LUTHERAN HYMN-BOOK. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. New India.Paper Edition, 45% 56 in. Price, $2.50. ' A splendid specimen of the printer’s and bookbinder’s art; in fact, a true edition de luxe, printed on imported India paper and beautifully bound in the best seal-grain leather, with gilt edges, flexible covers, and divinity cir- cuit. Though the paper is very thin, it is opaque and strong, and shows uP. the type in a remarkably clear im- pression. The book is only one-half as thick as the other editions of the Standard Hymn-Book, and will there- fore, as well as because of its light and convenient form, satisfy all Ghursbgoers who desire to carry their hymn- books in their hand or pocket.

Paper ing, is, Mo. 8s, 6X9. Pa cover. Price, 75 cts., postpaid. oe This pamphlet contains 24 sermons on free texts adapted to the first half of the church-year. Though not able to give the book the thorough examination we should have desired to give it, our somewhat h: examination, nevertheless, convinced us that this selection of sermons will prove a most welcome acquisition for a pastor’s li- brary. We can only regret that the publisher did not wait with the publication until the second was also , and then lish the work complete in permanent binding. A selection of sermons such ns this is well worthy of being put into permanent form. after examining DOGMATIK VON A. HOENECKH. 16. Lieferung. North- western Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis.
