Price: Single copies, 15 cis.; per dozen, $1.50; per hundred, $10.00. Carriage extra. In taking notice of this fine little book, we can do no better than quote what the publishers say about it: “This book of simple prayers, filling a long-felt want, has been compiled by one of our pastors. There are 48 pages, con- taining prayers for Morning, Evening, Table, During Sick- ness, On Birthday, For School and Church, Christmas, and General Prayers. It is handsomely gotten up in litho- graphed covers, and appropriately illustrated with draw- ings.” Every English-speaking home among us, with young children in it, should have a copy of this hook. Margery Lovell. Concordia Publishing House, St. Lotis, Mo. Neatly bound in red cloth; 105 pages. Price, 45 cts., postpaid. This soul-stirring story takes the reader back into the Dark Ages, about one hundred years before the Reforma- tion. It is the story of a noble woman’s confession of the Gospel, and her subsequent martyrdom at the hand of Rome’s minions. What a pity that books such as the one offered here are not more frequently read by our young people! Instead of devouring the trash which comes from the press in such huge quantities, our young people should tum to readable and instructive books like this. Our yours folks often think that an instructive book cannot be interesting, but the reading of this story will show them their great mistake, for the unspoiled mind will not easily find a book more interesting than Margery Lovell. Against Odds. By K. Elizabeth Sihler. Concordia Pub- ~ lishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Bound in silk-finished slits 150 pages; illustrated. Price, 60 cts., post- id. The writer tells of her experiences while taking up and proving up a land claim in the West. Her experiences were quite interesting, and she tells of them in an inter- esting way. Even boys in the “cub”-stage will find the book interesting. The reviewer has a boy of that age, and to see whether 2 woman can write so as to interest 1 boy in that stage of development, he gave the book to him and asked him to read it. The boy read it through in one day. — The reading of the oe will Tore oo fine pons for -a rson, man, woman, boy, or girl, lacking will-power hand Aaterniination: Try it! The Lord’s tae EG by H. M. Hahn. Concordia Publish: » St. Louis, Mo. Full music size; ‘2 pages. ° Price, 40 cts., postpaid. ~~ A inmost acceptable composition, emanating from the of one of our veteran composers. The melody is based 7 upon an old tune, but the aS is original. The music is very simple, and the pitch is sufficiently low to bring’ it Ve within the range of the average schoolboy or -girl. It is a composition well adapted for use at the close of the daily eee of our Christian day-schools. Text in English and erman. War and Christianity. By Prof. 7h. Gracbner, Concor- dia Seminary, St. Louis, Mo. Published by the Amer- ican Lutheran Publicity Bureau, 234 62d St., New? York City. Price, 35 cts. per hundred. A timely Scriptural tract, worthy of deepest study, withal so simply written that it can be profitably read by any person of ordinary mental capacity. Z Saengerbote. A Lyrical Quarterly. Success Printing Co., St. Louis, Mo. Price, 25 cts. per copy. It is with a sad heart that we take notice of the last number of this periodical. During the five years of its existence it did much good, and the greater is the pity that lack of support compels the publishers to cease its publication. As it is, the publishers have been at a con- siderable financial loss. In consideration of its short life one feels impelled to apply to the Saengerbote the word, “The good die young!” F.J.L.
