BOOK TABLE.

The Family Altar. By Rev. I’, W. Herzberger. Concor-
dia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. 375 pages, 69.
Strong and tasty cloth-binding. Price, $2.50.

Sad to say, family devotion is a thing of the past in
many homes. In many instances it is claimed that it is
beeause of the lack of time that family prayers are neg-
lected. In his new book, he Family Altar, Pastor Herz-
berger is placing a book into the hands of our Christians
in which the several devotions (one for each day in the
year) are so brief and yet so rich in thought, that it
would seem that at Teast one excuse for the future neg-
lect of family prayers would now be removed.

Theological Monthly. Published by the Ev. Luth. Synod
of Missouri, Ohio, and Other States. Vol. I. Janu-
ary, 1921, Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo.
Price, $3.00 per annum in advance.

The old Z'heological Quarterly has been expanded into

a new Theological Monthly; and we feel satisfied that

a great majority of the former readers of the Quarterly

will hail the change with delight. The greater frequency

of appearance of the Monthly and the added space will
enable the editors to enlarge the scope of the magazine
and make it a greater power for good. It is to be hoped
that the enterprise of the publisher will be appreciated
by an increasing number of subscribers, especially among
our pastors. We are of the certain opinion that no pastor
among us doing English work can afford to be without
the Monthly. ‘The two articles in the first number, “Con-
fessionalism of the Missouri Synod” and “Organie Union
of Protestantism,” are most thoughtful and thought-stimu-
lating. The new department, “The Theological Observer,”
will be a source of delight to many a reader. The “Book
Review” is just, conservative, and reliable.

Select Songs. Compiled by J. A. Zheiss. With an intro-
duction. on the Rudiments of Music by Karl Haase.

Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis, Mo. XVI
and 229 pages, 69. Strong cloth-binding. Price,

$1.50, postpaid. Introductory prices on application.
Special liberal offer to interested teachers who wish
to examine the book.
Llé was a happy thought to introduce this book with
w few pages on the rudiments of music. The very rich
selection of 300 songs is arranged in 39 divisions, which
consider the church-year, the calendar year, the civic
year, etc. In our humble opinion, however, a mistake
was made in arranging the songs in two- and three-part
harmony instead of putting out a four-part book through-
out. We bespeak a large and ready sale for the book.

A Congregation’s Duty to Lodge Members. By B. M.
Hott. National Christian Association, 850 W. Madi-
son St., Chicago, Ill. Per copy, 5 cts.; per dozen,
30 cts.; 50 copies, $1.00.

In plain, simple, and convincing’ language the author
sets forth the duty of a Christian congregation towards
members that have lost their way into the lodge.

My Rensons for Opposing the Norwegian Lutheran
Church. By B. M. Holt, 111 Eighth St., N., Fargo,

N. Dak. Order from the author. Per copy, 5 cts.;
$3.00 per hundred.

The author is a member of the small Norwegian Synod,
which was organized in 1918 as a protest against the lam-
entable union of the three largest Norwegian Lutheran
church bodies, without that consideration of difference

in doctrine which God’s Word demands. This little body
of faithful Lutheran congregations needs encouragement,
and whoever reads Brother Holt’s pamphlet will surely
sympathize with our Norwegian brethren in their stand
for the truth, and feel impelled to help and assist them
in a practical manner. F.J.L.
