8 The Lutheran Pioneer.

The Word of God is a living Word, and wherever
it is preached in its truth and simplicity, it is a
power of God unto salvation for Jew and Gentile,
saint and sinner alike. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
is the only thing that can help and comfort the
dying. Men will take their chances with the Lu-
therans as long as they preach this Gospel and point
men to Jesus Christ, the Savior.

BOOK TABLE.

Sketches from the History of the Church. By G. 2.
Hageman.- Concordia Publishing House, St. Louis,
Mo. Bound in special cloth, imitation walrus leather.
300 pages,714 10%. Profusely illustrated with many
woodcuts and numerous full-page plate engravings.
Price, $3.00, postpaid.

The substance-matter found in this book was published
eleven years ago in Dr. E. A. W. Krauss’s Lebensbilder aus
der Geschichte der christlichen Kirche. But for all that
the book is not a translation; we should rather call it
a recasting of the facts contained in Dr. Krauss’s book.
It gives a concise and yet sufficiently complete history of
the growth of the Christian Church in clear and simple
English. We should like to recommend it as an appro-
priate gift-book, and feel certain that it will afford many
pleasurable hours to its readers. The binding is beautiful,
and the many illustrations, some of them quite rare, greatly
enhance the value of the book. The price at which the
publishers offer the volume is remarkably low.

Ungemach’s Responsive Service. Concordia Publishing
House, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 12 cts. Quantity price
on application.

For years the sainted Teacher Ungemach’s Weihnachts-
liturgie has been used among us. Mr. Wismar deserves
our thanks for arranging the music to suit the require-
ments of the English text and for transposing one of the
original choruses so that it is now within easy reach of
children’s voices. Teachers should bear in mind this pub-
lication for next year’s Christmas program.

Can a Christian Consistently Say, “So Mote It Be!”?

By Richard Kretzschmar. Concordia Publishing
ouse, St. Louis, Mo. Price, 2 cts.

A reprint of a very useful article against Freemasonry

which appeared in the Lutheran Witness a few oe ago.

A Most Appropriate Mission Box.

To meet a renl demand, we offer this splendid Mission
Box to our readers, fully convinced that we are in a posi-
tion to offer them a mission box that is bound to draw
-the attention of old and young at a price that is remark-
‘ably low. This little Colored solicitor for missionary gifts

can be appropriately placed in the church, the school, the
Sunday- hoot, the society hall, or the home. We are sure
that this collection device will increase the donations for
missions, since it is a standing appeal to every one that
Bees it not to forget the great work of spreading the Gos-
pel. Many a nickel and dime will find its way into the
mission treasury that would be lost to the cause, were it
not for the silent, but insistent appeal of this little kneel-
ig Negrc in his white garment, who gratefully and

y acknowledges even the smallest gift by a nod
shapely head. Size, 5<7><11 inches. Price, $3.00,
5 cents for postage. Order from Mr. Ewald Schuett-
922 Pine St., St. Louis, Mo.
