BOOK TABLE.

BTLICHE GRUENDE, WARUM CHRISTEN IHRE
KINDER IN EINE CHRISTLICHE GEMEINDE-
SCHULE SCHICKEN, Ty Rev. O. Kaiser. Order
from the author, 415 W. 24th St., Milwaukee, Wis.
50 cts. per hundred; $3 for 500; $3.00 per
thousand.

This little tract briefly, but convincingly, shows that
Christian parents should send their children to Christian
parish schools for God’s sake, for the children’s sake, for
the parents’ sake, for the church’s sake, for the sake of
the world, and for our country’s sake. We hope that the
sale of this little tract of four pages in German will
encourage the author and publisher to issue it in Eng-
lish also.

The Michigan District of the Missouri Synod has for
some years past considered the Table of Duties as found
in Luther's Small Catechism. ‘This year Rev. O. Luebke
led the discussion on those Scripture passages speaking
of the duties of servants, hired men, and laborers, and
cf masters and mistresses. The report also brings a very
lucid lecture on the nature of justifying faith by Rev. H.
Speckhard. —The South Dakota report contains a very
interesting paper by Prof. Geo. Weller on the History
and liar Doetrines of the Seventh-day Adventists.
At previous sessions this district has considered the dis-
tinctive doctrines of the Methodists and Baptists. Next
year a paper. on Christian Science and its. peculiar doc-
trines will be discussed.

ive. A German edition is also published.

SAENGERBOTE. A Lyrical Quarterly. No. 11. Success

is the equal of its predecessors, and brings a number of
German and English poems worthy of the pen of the best
lyrical poets. Particularly noteworthy is the fact that
all the poems are permeated by a Christian spirit.

BOOK OF INSTRUCTION, By Adolph T. Hanser, Lu-
theran Publishing Co., 105 Florida St., Buffalo, N. Y.
Cloth binding; price, 40 cts.

This book is based on Luther’s Small Catechism. It
pursues a new method of instruction by combining the
Bible story with the lesson on the Catechism. By doing
this it greatly simplifies the instruction for those children
who have no previous knowledge of the Bible stories. In-
struction is further simplified: for the pupil by the typo-
graphical arrangement of the text. We are of the opinion
that the book will prove very helpful where cireumstances
do not permit a long and thorough course of instruction
in Bible History and the Catechism. Sunday-schools
which prefer a bound book to the monthly lesson pam-
phlets will likewise find the book very serviceable.
