The Lutheran Pioneer.

A Sermon in Stone.

Let us not forget that Christ ITimself has urged
us to pray for missions and missionaries, and that
these faithful workers have also asked us constantly
to remember them and their work in our prayers.
Let us at least support them as well as we can in
this way. You may be sure that it will make their
work easier, and greatly help to keep up their cour-
age and strength, if they may know that all we at
home are united in praying for them and their work.
But Christ has also told us to pray the Lord
of the harvest to send forth laborers into His har-
yest. The harvest, truly, is great, but the laborers
are few.

In this connection the following story, told by
a man that was just starting out to the foreign
mission field, and giving the reason for his going,
might be interesting : —

As a child I daily crossed a cemetery, and often
stopped to read the following strange and peculiar
inscription on a tombstone: “Mother, when I grow
big, I want to go out as a missionary. But if I
should die before that, I want you to put this on
my tombstone, because then perhaps one of those
who read it will go out in my place.”

The man that tells this says that he read it so
often that he finally decided that he was the one
that should go out instead of the boy who had died
at the age of eight. — Sel.

BOOK TABLE.

CHRIST IS RISEN. By I. C. Stricter. Published by the
composer, 4510 Virginia Ave., St. Louis, Mo. Price,
25 cts.; per dozen, $2.00.

This Easter anthem by Mr. Strieter will be welcomed
by our choir directors. It is, however, of considerable
diMficulty, and its rendition should not be undertaken by
choirs of little experience. The music of this composition
is of more than ordinary merit, and its proper rendering
will go far towards increasing the proper spirit in the
hearts of worshipers on Easter Day. pages ayer ee
