its reading. For these reasons this volume of sermons
will prove a most valuable help for the preacher in his
sermon preparation; but we are much mistaken if not
also many a layman will find the reading of its contents
a source of great enjoyment.

DAS SCHLACHTFEILD VON SEDAN. Von D. theol.
G. Stocckhardt. Johannes Herrmann, Zwickau.

56 pages. Price, 40 Pf.

This fascinating booklet by the sainted Doctor Stoeck-
hardt brings interesting reminiscences of the Franco-
Prussian War. The contents are grouped under _five
headings: “I. In Paris. II. Sedan. III. In the Field
Hospitals. IV. At the Beds of the Sick and Dying.
V. The Black Doctor.” The last chapter we found par-
ticularly interesting; it gives a sympathetic sketch of
the grand work done upon the battlefield of Sedan by
an American Colored doctor, named Christopher Davis,
a good Samaritan in the full sense of the word, who
sacrificed his life in the service of his fellow-men.

The Story of a Martyr. By Wm. Dall-
mann. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
64 pages; cloth binding; original cover design.
Price, 20 cts.; special quantity prices.

A well-written life of the martyr that deserves a wide
reading. It should be of particular interest to all Prot-
estants, just now, as the quincentenary of Hus’s death
upon the funeral pyre was celebrated this year. The
booklet contains no less than 20 full-page illustrations.
Because of the simple language in which it is written,
and its many illustrations, it is well adapted for gen-
eral distribution at Christmas time in schools and Sun-
day-schools.

A Request.

The Rev. John Alston, of Mount Pleasant, N. C., asks
us to insert a notice in the Pioneer to the effect that St.
Peter’s Chapel at Dry’s Schoolhouse, N. C., stands in
great need of a small reed-organ. We feel sure that pas-
tor and people would highly appreciate it if some kind
reader of the PioNEER would donate to them the much-
needed instrument. Who will help? Tue Eptror.
