picturing the beginning, the growth, and the present
state of our Colored Missions. If preferred, the
book may be had also in German on the same terms.

Now get busy. You are a friend of our mis-
sions, otherwise you would hardly be a reader of
this paper. Get four others to become friends of
this blessed work like yourself. In the end you
are also showing them a favor. And you will cer-
tainly be helping our cause. We desire to show
our appreciation, and shall gladly have our pub-
lishers and distributors send you a copy of Our
Colored Missions, Illustrated, at our expense. Send
in the names and the money, and be sure to add
the request for the premium, stating in what lan-
guage you desire to have it. ’

Of course, you get two premiums, if you send
eight names and $2.00 (or $2.80, if the subscrip-
tions are 35 cents each; see above). The only
other conditions our publishers make is that your
own subscription must be paid up, and that re-
newals cannot count as new subscriptions.

BOOK TABLE.

HISTORY OF THE REFORMATION. By Rev. P. A. Peter.
Lutheran Book Concern, Columbus, O. Serviceable
cloth-binding; 208 pages. Price: Single copy,
35 cts.; per dozen, $3.60; per hundred, $25.00.

We deem this an admirable book, and very cheap. It
is popular in language and vivid in presentation of facts.
The book is divided into four chief parts: 1. The Neces-
sity of the Reformation; 2. The Beginning of the Refor-
mation; 3. The Struggles and Conflicts of the Reforma-
tion; 4. The Labors and Victories of the Reformation.
The volume deserves a wide circulation, and will go far
towards preparing its readers for a proper celebration of
next year’s Quadricentennial of the Reformation. A pop-
ular History of the Reformation such as this should be

in every Lutheran home by next year. i

CYCLE OF CHRISTMAS CAROLS. By Herm. M. Hahn.
English and German text. Price, 60 cts. To be or-
dered from Herm. M. Hahn, 2852 Broadway, Fort
Wayne, Ind., or from Concordia Rublishing House,
St. Louis, Mo. .

This musical composition was published last fall, and
almost three whole editions were sold out in six weeks.

t seems hardly necessary to add anything to this state-.

ment, for an opus that enjoys such a phenomenal sale
must satisfy the taste of our choirs.— After a few bars
for the piano or organ follows a recitative (Ps. 24, 7—10),
an original composition by Prof. Hahn; the choral, “Come,
Thou Precious Ransom, Come”; an original chorus for
un mixed choir: “Silent Night,” with an original accom-
paniment; another original recitative, “The Angel’s Mes-
sage”; a children’s chorus, “Come Hither, Ye Children”;
un original chorus, “Glory Be to God on High”; a third
original recitative, “The Shepherds”; and, finally, the
chorus, “Come Hither, Ye Faithful,” with an original ac-
companiment by Mr. Hahn. Choir directors should not
fail to examine this truly delightful Cycle of Christmas

Carols.

LUTHER BOOK-MARK, English and German. Small
size; length, $44 in. Price, 25 ets. Liberal dis-
count to agents and eanvassers. Address Ev. Luth.
St. Paul’s School, 45—51 Smith St., Paterson, N. J.,
or Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.

This is a miniature reproduction of the Luther Book-
Mark we had the pleasure of recommending to our readers
a year ago, Like its older and larger brother, it is of
pure silk, woven, not printed or painted, in five colors.
The picture woven into the silk ribbon with silk threads
shows Luther nailing his Ninety-five Theses to the door
of the Castle Chureh at Wittenberg. Below the picture
is a part of Luther’s great hymn, “A Mighty Tortress Is
Our God,” with notes, also woven. The lower part of the
book-mark has a fac-simile of Luther's signature and his
coat-of-arms in original colors. Oe PA
