Price, $1.25.— Band IL: Die Apo- stelgeschichte St. Lucac nebst kurzer Erklacrung mit Beruecksichtigung der Briefe der Apostel. Be- arbeitet von Geo. Mezger. 448 pages, 5x74. Price, $1.50. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. These two books are practically a reprint of Prof. Mez- ver’s Lessons for Bible Classes, which appeared from month to month in pamphlet form during the past three years. ‘The professor, in these two handy volumes, gives us 2 popular commentary of the Gospel according to St. Matthew and the Acts of the Apostles. Both books are well illustrated, and are each furnished with five colored maps. Pastors and teachers will find these commentaries very helpful; but also those of our lay readers, espe- cially Sunday-school teachers, able to read German, will never be sorry for the investment if they procure these volumes. We hope that the publishers may decide to is- sue these commentaries in the English language also for the benefit of those not able to read and understand German.

By William Dallmann. With ex- planations, illustrations, applications, 20 art plates in colors after Dudley, 195 half-tone illustrations by old and new masters, and two maps of Palestine. IX and 481 pages. Size, 7% X10. Beautifully bound in cloth and embossed in black and gold, with head of Christ after Hofmann on front cover. Northwestern Publishing House, Milwaukee, Wis. Price, $3.00. ‘To be had from Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. The author of this book is known to not a few of our ‘renders as a popular writer on religious subjects. This book, however, is by far his most ambitious literary ven- ture, There is no doubt in our mind that through this book the knowledge of our blessed Savior will be in- creased in many a family. Rey. Dallmann’s style is al- Ways racy and crisp, simple and popular. There isn’t a long, involved sentence in the book. The language is just of the kind that our people can best understand, and the manner of presentation throughout is of such a nature that it can be grasped by all. The twenty col- oved plates are fine examples of sacred art, while the 195 half-tones are in a great measure reproductions of mus- terpieces of sacred art. To use the author’s words, may the book “create a want that ought to be felt, and then supply the demand.” Acknowledgments.
