The written paper, placed in a jar of vinegar to prevent infec- tion, was found, the remedy was tried, and the plague disappeared. So Christ, who is Himself God as well as man, came into this world to die for our salvation, and so exhibit to us the great and wonderful divine love. Selected. The Power of Prayer. A woman came to a missionary, asking him to prevent a certain native Christian from praying for her any‘more. “I used to perform my worship to my idols quite comfortably,” she said, “but for some time I have not been able to do so. He told me that he was praying for my family, and now my son and two daughters have become Christians. If he goes on praying, he may make me become a Christian too. He is always bringing things to pass with his prayers.” — Selected. BOOK TABLE. Agnus Dei. The Lamb of God. A sacred cantata. Words by Paul E. Kretzmann. Music by G. C. Albert Kaep- pel. Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, $1.00 per copy; 16 or more copies, 75 cts. each. We hope that when this number reaches our readers, it will not be too late for many of them to think of pre- senting this sacred composition. While the name might lead the reader to believe that this cantata is appropriate for the Lenten season only, we believe that it can be pre- sented at any time of the year. The Editor is by no means an authority on music, yet he is willing to say that choirs will find themselves well repaid if they undertake giving this sacred composition before their congregations. And we do not believe that the music is so difficult, but that many a choir can be ready. after four weeks’ diligent prep- aration to present it before the average audience. The Editor is going to encourage his people to consider the performing of this composition, possibly on Good Friday, - or, if they can’t get ready by that time, on some later day.
