Jubilaecumsausgabe. - Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 100 pages; handsome cloth-binding. Price, postpaid, 28 cts. This is Just’s classic Life of Luther in a new binding. The text, type, and illustrations, we are pleased to state, have not been changed; all that has been done is that our old friend has been given a nice new holiday attire in honor of the Four-hundredth Jubilee of the Reforma- tion to be celebrated next year. MISSOURI SYNOD REPORTS. No. 2. Minnesota-Dis- trikt. 68 pages; price, 13 cts. No. 2a. Oestlicher Distrikt. 76 pages; 15 cts. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. The very practical paper by Rev. H. Meyer in the re- ort of the Minnesota District is on the subject, “The Tem oral Provision for the Servant of the Word.” The timely paper presented by Rev. F. C. Verwiebe to the mem- bers of the Eastern District, “The Reformation by Luther a Work of God,” is a continuation of the paper read by the same pastor at the preceding meeting of the same body. Both papers deserve a wide reading. BEREA BIBLE CLASS LESSONS, 1916—1917. Edited by Pastors A. Doerffler and L. Sieck. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, postpaid, 11 cts. This is the third number of this adult Bible Class guide. The two former numbers were widely used, and, no doubt, this issue will also find a ready sale. The Life of Joshua and the Parables of Jesus are treated in the new booklet. BLESSINGS OF THE REFORMATION. A Children’s Service for the Anniversary of the Reformation. By —ev. C. C. Morhart. Price, per copy, 5 cts.; 25 copies, $1.00; 100 copies, $2.75; 200 copies, $4.00; 300 copies, $5.00. Lutheran Publishing Company, 105 Florida St., Buffalo, N. Y. This order of service emphasizes seven blessings of the Reformation, “presented in the colors of the rainbow.” The blessings brought out are, Justification, Bible, Cate- chism, Lord’s Supper, Preaching, Good Works, and Lib- erty. The arrangement of the program is unique, and strongly appeals to us. We advise our pastors and teachers to send for a sample copy for examination. HARMONIE. A selection of spiritual songs for mixed choirs. By J. C. Stricter. No. 8. As a Hart Panteth, Ps. 42. No. 9. Make a Joyful Noise unto the Lord, Ps. 100. Price, 25 cts. per copy; $2.00 per dozen. Published by I. C. Strieter, 617 East Second South St., Carlinville, Ill. May also be ordered from Con- cordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Those who are acquainted with the previously pub- lished sacred songs of Teacher Strieter will be pleased to learn of the appearance of these two musical composi- tions. ‘The composer has evidently grasped the spirit of the sacred hymns, and happily succeeds in bringing out the divine thought of the texts. SAENGERBOTE. A Lyrical Quarterly. No. 15. Success Printing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 15 cts. This number brings some real gems. The German poem, “Ich bin dein Pilgrim, Herr,” appealed to us par- ticularly. The poem, “Gib uns Maenner,” has the true poetic ring, and is a composition of rare virility. The tic peaaring into English of Luther’s classic letter to is little son Hans about “The Garden Beautiful” is ex- ceptionally happy, and deserves to be received into future editions of our Standard Readers. NEGRO YEAR-BOOK. An annual encyclopedia of the Negro. 470 pages; paper cover. Price, postpaid, " 35 cts. Address The Negro Year-Book Company, Tuskegee, Institute, Ala. - ‘ This is a book which should be in the hands of every pastor and teacher of our Colored Mission. It is a book that everybody interested in the Negro and his progress should make it a point to possess. Mr. Work, the com- piler, is to be commended upon the great amount of in- formation he has succeeded in compressing into this book, for it is really remarkable how many questions concern- ing the Negro it answers. “In its pages one finds in a suc- cinct form not only the important facts of the history of the Negro, but also a great mass of detailed information concerning present conditions and the progress of the race.” After examining the book we are not surprised to learn that it is to-day the standard authority on matters per- taining to the Negro. There are a number of indications in the book which show that the compiler is acquainted with our work among the Negroes, and a reader of our publications. F. J. L. oo The United Luther Conference will convene, God willing, for a three days’ session right before or after Reformation (exact date to be announced later) in St. Paul’s Chapel, 1625 Annette St., New Or- leans, La.
